There is a video about led bulb model variations made in Saudi Arabia which last “forever” compared to the regular models. Worth a watch.

Mixed them up, but does not matter, the point is the engineering differences

when it comes to LEDs, is a good way to remember it, Dubai vs "don't buy"?

Thanks for this great link [I remembered having seen it but would not have recalled the countries).

TL;DR: some countries require manufacturers to underdrive the diodes allowing them to last for decades [not "designed obsolescence"].
