My computer features products almost exclusively made in China, but it features products with viable company backing: Nvidia makes my video card, Creative Labs makes my sound card, GE makes my monitor, Logitech makes my mouse. Just having the comfort of a company name (and a face to sue in the extremely EXTREMELY unlikely event my mouse catches on fire and engulfs my bedroom in flame) and their backing of the product I'm using makes that product worth the extra money.

These are the same quality manufactured components that brought us crappy plastic toy soldiers and fake ray guns that busted apart in 20 minutes. Personally, I wouldn't risk the lives of my fish (one hell of an investment as is) my equipment, my tank, my bedroom, and my house to a lighting fixture that MIGHT burst into flames at any given time. If it works...once again...fantastic for you. You've beaten the system and made me look like a moron. However, if it doesn't work (and there's a good chance it won't) try to sue a company who is going to change their name, address, telephone number, and void their warranties in the process...if you're still around to do so.
LOL.... What is it with Americans these days?? What makes you think you have the right to sue a company... any company for your lack of proper use of a product they sell??? If I bought a Computer or light fixture or a --- toy and overloaded a socket then my house caught fire is it the MFG's fault Im a stupid ass???? ---- happens even if something is UL labeled, thats just how products are.
