The 1987 to 2001 era.
During this era G.E. cut back their product line again. Now
products were made - wherever - in Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan and finally China.
Their packaging was redesigned with primarily white graphics. The Bulbs no
longer have an aluminum base and are now made with a nickel base, although they
briefly went back to brass with bulbs made in China in 1995.
In 2001 G.E. discontinued their holiday lighting line and sold it to
Santa's best
craft, who now sell the sets and use the familiar trademarks under license
to G.E.
Around 1987 the packaging was changed again. The G.E. logo is larger and the product name is placed at an incline. The "ENERGESAVER" logo has been replaced by the generic "Energy saver" These are C7 Cool Bright bulbs dating to 1993 and made in China.
