You can also get real high quality bearings made in China, but they will not be as cheap, and you will have to verify that you are getting what you asked for.

- lightedman 10y agoTherein lies another problem - verification. Quite often, the Chinese simply do not listen to what you tell them (or just can't understand it even when broken down into simple specifications. I've run into this with many Chinese LED manufacturers) and quite often you end up with a product you didn't ask for. I've never had that problem ordering anything from Germany.
- lacampbell 10y agoTry Taiwan - especially for LEDs. It'll cost more but the QC is much better.
- lightedman 10y agoIn the 10 years I've done LED lighting, Taiwan's LEDs may have better quality but the efficiency is horrid.
- lacampbell 10y agoCan you? Where? Until this year, China was unable to manufacture ballpoint pens. "It was a years-long effort that cost millions of dollars and required the leadership of a state-run corporate colossus. It was front-page news, widely discussed on talk shows and celebrated on social media." ... "China doesn't possess the advanced alloys and machines necessary to make a high-quality pen ball and socket." https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-01-16/china-s-latest-innovation-the-ballpoint-pen https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-01-16/china-s-l...
- lightedman 10y agoOne thing that confuses me is how China doesn't possess the advanced alloys for ballpoint pen nibs? It's just an osmium alloy, not that difficult to do. They've got osmium out the yin-yang (no pun intended) and should have had alloys of that long, long ago.
