I would say life time and light spectrum. I was told that china brand will lost it brightness very fast

you can find better light tubes from companies such as osram and philips. look for those that has a colour temperature of 6500k, which is daylight.

My opinion is the reliability & light spectrum.

1) Our eyes cant differential brightness
2) Original china light might be bright initially but might lose the brightness fast
3) Technology. Company like Philips and Osram have done a lot of research to understand about light. China companies who sell tubes at $3 mainly copy I guess
4) Safety. I bought 1 china tube before, the area which holds the pins melted and crack due to heat.
