I heard something amazing here. LED lamps of several Russian brands are supplied to the Belarusian market. So these lamps differ significantly for the better from lamps of the same brands in Russia.
It turns out that, unlike our country, in Belarus the quality of goods, including light bulbs, is very carefully controlled. Manufacturers are required to certify all products sold in the certification centers of Belarus and light bulbs there they really test, and they check not only the technical parameters, but also, for example, which components are used.
If a light bulb is found on sale that differs from what is written in the certificate (even if parameters are saved, but replaced, for example, the driver chip), the amount of the fine is comparable to the cost of the entire batch of lamps.
As a result, our brands for sale in Belarus make separate bulbs with honest parameters. (real power, luminous flux, color rendering index), sometimes they even make them on other Chinese factories. At the same time, bulbs for Russia with reduced power, brightness and color rendering index may have exactly the same packaging and the same barcode.
A person directly connected with the sale of lamps in Belarus told me all about this. I don't know how true this is, but I fully admit that this is possible.
