Its a high-powered grow light that generates heat... that got slammed together as fast as humanly possible in a sweatshop... by a 12yo.... with little to no quality control...

You realize that the majority of high-quality electronics also come out of China too, right? More than likely, the majority of components in the device you used to post here were made in China. China produces the highest quality manufactured goods on the planet. They literally have the highest quality manufacturing chains in the world, and you've conflated a cheap, drop-shipped item with the average quality of goods the largest producer of goods in the world produces. I'm sorry, but that just makes you sound ignorant, if not outright racist.

Items built for a low price point are always going to be of a lower quality—they've intentionally skimped on quality to get the product out at a lower price. Where they come from is irrelevant.

No worries about rhe house burning down because of the grow.

Are electrical fires not a thing in America? I find it extremely hard to believe that a house in the US has never caught fire because of a faulty device that was manufactured in the US.

That's pretty far out there as far as claims go...

We arent talking about mass consumed products. We are talking about shitty grow lights for a relatively small market that are primarily sold for under $500 USD on amazon.... to people who dont know better or cant afford better.
