Horticultural Lighting Group and Timber lights are made in the USA. I know there are a couple of others, too, but those are the big names I know of that are made in the US.

Wait...what?
I would go the road I went down for lights if you can build or assemble....This is just 1 quarter as I will have 2 of these in my 5x8 flowering room.

Cool! No - Samsung is Korean - someone else mentioned it. They are a free country and do business with us well. Lived there for a year in the '80's.Here is a list of LED manufacturer in USA, Sammie's are not made in US as far as I know.

The thing is - western culture (which includes South Korea) inspires innovation and invention. Not mindless repetition. That is why China has to steal intellectual property, then uses their population of peasants to make it in bulk. In the hands of non-communist companies there's no telling how much better lights can get.
I have no issues buying things made in South Korea. They are nothing like China.
I completely agree with you but on the other hand they are not American either... It is just a question of how ready you are to support your country economy.
That depends on what you consider supporting my country. I spent two enlistments in the USAF, which I consider being pretty supportive, but I also don't believe that I should have to 100% buy things made in the USA to show my support. Doing that is very hard to do, and will continue to be, until more companies start moving their production back home.
I see where you come from and I praise your dedication but I fear that we have to make it happen by ourselves. If everyone starts buying US made only, then the companies will start moving back, or we can just sit down and relax until it happens!
I agree, but that's going to be a hard pill for a lot of lower and middle class Americans to swallow. We live in a society where people on welfare and even homeless people have iPhones and Androids. Everyone seems to think owning a smartphone, having internet access, and getting HBO are human rights.

They think healthcare is a right. Sorry, but how can you requiring the skills of another person (doctor/nurse) be a right? How many decent people you think will grow up to be doctors in that system? How many people are going to be cops now? Gun up and stay safe.I agree, but that's going to be a hard pill for a lot of lower and middle class Americans to swallow.

China has done exactly the same in Australia buying up a vast amount of our prime farming land and has basically taken control of one of our major ports and it’s all well and good to buy locally but our country has seen first hand what can happen when you simply can’t compete any longer with a country than can mass produce a product at a fraction of the cost and you locally just simply can’t compete. At least America was smart enough to protect its own car manufacturing industry and coastal shipping something we failed miserably at .

And Trump is putting a stop to it -and the politicians that have been profiting from it (both sides) are fighting back.
