Very few if any electronic items are actually made in the USA. They may be designed and 1st few prototypes made here but mass production generally goes overseas. Yea many of them are build in the same manufacturer plant but you will see many subtle changes to avoid and patent legal battles. I am all for buying Made in the USA but I also work very hard for my money and there some things I just cannot justify. LED lighting is one of them. Rigid is one of the brands that I feel are way over priced. They claim better manufacturing but I have seen personally that their board are very similar to other no name brands. A friend of mine had a 1 yeard old D Series Pod die on him. He had it sitting around so I asked him to let me take a look at it. When I opened it up I found a tiny surface mount component that had completely come of the board. I went ahead and soldered it back on problem solved. I inspected the rest of the board and saw typical manufacturing lack of solder on all the components. for household electronics is fine as they do not bounce around but for vehicle use it was not good enough. I went ahead an re-soldered a lot of them before I closed up the light.
Hmmm, interesting failure mode. Solder is not designed to be a mechanical bond, generally. I don't know that much about SMD stuff, so maybe those pads are more durable, but for a typical component that would go through a wave machine, you want the component to have a mechanical connection for durability, solder for connectivity.
