I'm probably not going to Score many Brownie Points here, just sayin.. :nono:
I see a lot of people bashing China made products or the American made Knock-off's, such as emergency lighting & sirens, when in reality they have no clue and make themselves sound like morons in the end. :bonk:
I mean we as Americans like to PRIDE in ourselves for American Made products right?!? :yes:
Well what if the American Made Lightbar or Siren, contains ALL Parts from china? Is it now JUNK? :undecided:
Now the Reality of the subject, all the so called American Made Emergency Products you buy, i.e. Whelen, Fedsig, Code3 etc. . the Inner conglomerate of parts, LEDs, flashers, curcuit boards are made in China, Taiwan, etc. the item maybe put together aka (Manufactured) in the USA, but the inner parts are STILL from over seas.
I love hearing "I would never buy that Chinese Junk!!" But in reality you really are or have.... :duh:
I will use a few threads posted here on ELB as examples of American Made containing Overseas parts:
This thread covers Whelen & FEDSIG.
FYI: The truth about Whelen
This thread covers Code3.

IMHO in reality your buying an "American made" product that is chock full of overseas parts. The reason is it's manufactured cheaper, with cheaper labor costs. Thus equals more profit for the American companies brand name attached product. in laymans terms; Its cheaper to make and we can sell it for top dollar, & you the consumer WILL PAY our TOP DOLLAR prices, for our Quality American Made products! So the REAL QUESTION is are you really buying American? :undecided:
I am in no way supporting all China made lighting, but mearly pointing out the UNPOPULAR facts...
This is not just limited to emergency lighting as it includes; electronics, sirens, clothing, furniture, vehicles, etc.
Reality Sucks Sometimes.. opcorn:
I understand this topic has been brought up time and time again, but it is worthy of repeating frequently. As "We would NEVER Buy that Chinese CRAP"....
