Are you on the hunt for light bulbs made in the USA? When you go to the store to purchase replacement light bulbs for your table lamps and ceiling lights, you might be overwhelmed with the different types of light bulbs on the market now a days. There are LED and CFL bulbs, incandescent, florescent, and halogen bulbs…which one do you choose? And are any American made?
ARE THERE ANY LIGHT BULBS MADE IN THE USA?
Well, the answer is complicated. Yes, there are American made light bulbs. However, almost all of these light bulbs are ASSEMBLED in the USA from domestic and imported parts.
There were several companies that manufactured incandescent light bulbs in the USA, but those companies either went out of business, or transitioned to LED bulbs with oversea manufacturing. Incandescent light bulbs use more energy than LED and CFL bulbs and they have actually been banned in several states.
Since most consumers look to purchase a cheaper light bulb, most light bulbs are manufactured over seas in China where it is more cost effective for companies to do so.

According to Sylvania bulbs on Amazon, they are manufactured in CHINA!! I have ordered items in the past that claim to be made in the USA, only to receive with Made in China stamped on them.
Is there honesty and integrity in advertising anymore?
Is there another place where these bulbs are sold, besides Amazon?
It looks like they closed both of their US factories. I searched both of them, and both names will give you articles about them closing a few years after being upgraded to manufacture American bulbs. I’m guessing they’re selling what’s left of their stock now, or else they’re lying about where they’re made. Correct me if I’m wrong, as I would love to be wrong about this. Sucks more people don’t buy American.
Please stop linking to Amazon!!!!!!!
If we were to trust the internet there are at least three other manufacturers of LED bulbs in the USA:
– Green Creative
– Satco
– Cree
All the info I could find on Satco says their bulbs are Chinese made.
Hi there, thanks for this reference. It seems to be an USA company, green creative, that is not listed here – please confirm.
Wish I would have known about the Sylvania bulbs sooner. I have always looked for American made products but have just begun to be VERY diligent about it. Thanks for your site.
Sylvania Co. has sold and closed their production facilities in the USA. It was a short term test. Americans failed to care about working men and women of the USA by purchasing American made products. Menards still carries their inventory while they last.
Thanks for your page! Bought LEDs for inside the house yesterday – thank goodness I chose Sylvania. I was looking closely at where they were made. Sylvania was a few dollars more than the others made in some other country – but had to buy Made in USA – or Canada.
Hudson Bulb co is also made in the USA
Hudson bulbs are not us made, they fool you by having the little us flag in there description
super stuff, USA USA USA
