Some claim that the switches made in China are no good. Good switches
cost a bit more than that. I have no actually knowledge of that. I
bought a less expensive switch a few years ago and it worked great in
my toolbox. I finally got E-code lights with fogs for Christmas. That
relatively inexpensive (but not $20 cheap) switch has worked so far.
E-code lights with Osram 55-60 watt lamps are much better than the
American code lights. Watch that some vendors sell lights with crappy
Chinese lamps. "Improved" lamps with light reducing, glare increasing
blue coating. Also cheap lamps may not have the UV reducing coating
that reduces the degradation of the plastic lenses.

That said if someone want to buy a pair of higher wattage blue coated
bulbs and a pair of 55-60 watt clear bulbs, all probably made in China
for $15 plus shipping let me know. Those lamps would be the H4
variety.
