Lamps Osram: varieties, description and reviews. Fluorescent lamp Osram

Osram lamps are the products of a high-tech German company engaged in the production of light sources. The company has been on the market for twelve years and is developing rapidly, gaining more and more consumer confidence.

Varieties

During its existence, the company has greatly expanded its range. Osram produces many kinds of light sources, the main ones are:

• Standard incandescent lamps;
• Halogen;
• Very compact fluorescent lamps;
• Gas-discharge light sources;
• LED modules;
• Special purpose irradiators;
• Automotive lighting.

The last category of products is quite wide, it includes starters, signals, indicator lights and optics. The total production base of the company totals more than 5 thousand kinds.

Osram Standard Lamps

These light sources are different from those produced by other companies with only a long service life and good brightness indicators. Their production continues, but the popularity of incandescent lamps has declined significantly in recent years.

In fact, such light sources do not consume so much resources, but this does not prevent them from taking positions in favor of newer developments. Now, at the peak of popularity among citizens, an energy-saving lamp (luminescent). Osram also produces them, and among the existing models, the consumers claimed to be particularly in demand.

Energy saving light sources

These lamps are so popular due to good efficiency, perfectly combined with compact dimensions. They provide high light output with low power consumption. The only requirement put forth by the manufacturer when using this type of equipment is the special conditions for the disposal of products after the end of their service life. Moreover, such light sources are dangerous to break in living quarters because of the specific composition (with the integrity of the glass shell it is harmless).

The company produces light sources for apartments, as well as for offices, shops, industrial premises. For example, a compact lamp Osram Dulux L is designed for public buildings. It replaces the long tubular fluorescent light sources, in no way inferior to them in terms of performance.

Halogen lamps

Designed for a wide range of uses, for domestic and industrial purposes, in various lighting systems. They differ from standard incandescent lamps in a longer service life, almost twice that of traditional light sources.

Most halogen products, represented by Osram catalogs, have the ability to adjust brightness (dimming), a wide variety of shapes and types of socles. In addition, the company produces quality light sources for cars (Osram Night Breaker lamps), constantly winning in the tests conducted by various thematic magazines.

Gas-discharge light sources

This is one of the smallest light sources. They emit energy in the visible range, therefore they are not suitable for household use, besides they contain toxic substances more dangerous than in fluorescent lamps and require special disposal conditions that may not be observed in small settlements. But from the advantages it is possible to note good stability of a color rendition, profitability and a high service life, quite paying off cost of similar light sources.

For these reasons, Osram discharge lamps are mainly used for showcases, trading halls and arenas, less often - at industrial sites and in administrative buildings. Best of all, these light sources are suitable for the design of stands, where systems of compact dimensions are required.

In the catalog of the company all existing types of similar lamps are presented, which is also an advantage.

LED Lighters

This category is represented by the widest assortment, because there is always a demand for it. It is very in demand in the design industry, because it provides a lot of opportunities to design rooms and stands, allowing you to realize many ideas for the implementation of a certain atmosphere. The arrangement of light accents is extremely important for any visual representation, therefore Osram diode lamps have an unlimited scope. Their range is represented by a huge number of different modifications, so you can always choose the right module for any lighting system.

The technical side of the LEDs, as always, at altitude. Modules have good mechanical resistance to external influences and are characterized by the lowest energy consumption among all products presented by the company.

Special purpose irradiators

This category of Osram products is represented by light sources for certain purposes. This includes irradiators for photo and biology laboratories, projection systems, signage lamps, modules for microlithography, infrared heaters, special equipment for animal care, and large street lighting.

About Products

Osram lamps (the prices are acceptable, but differ depending on the place of sale and the equipment itself) are represented by a wide range: almost all conceivable types of illuminators are present in the product catalog, including those intended for personal transport. In addition, to date, the company produces lamps for domestic and industrial use, special ballasts for its (and not only) lamps and modules, as well as equipment for indoor and outdoor use.

The company cooperates with individuals and legal entities, is engaged in wholesale and retail sales, and on the official website of the company various ideas on the design of premises with the help of Osram products and examples of its application are presented. There you can find articles with news and a description of the technologies used.

Customer feedback on products

As a rule, customers leave very positive feedback on any product category. Especially happy are the motorists, they note that the light sources produced by the company, perfectly cope with their task and serve them for several years, without losing their original properties.

However, in general, reviews are left to special irradiators, imprisoned for specific professional purposes. On household and industrial light sources (for example, the Osram L lamp), responses are much less and it is more difficult to find them on the web, since for the most part this information is of interest to motorists or cyclists who are forced to skate at night.

Older reviews report short-lived products, but consumers praise new batches after 2010, although fluorescent lamps still fail to reach the specified 10 years. The fact is that such light sources are not designed for frequent shutdown, but in an apartment this nuance is rarely observed.

In addition, much depends on the quality of the electrical network in the building. The products of this company will quickly fail with strong power surges, and in general its behavior will be far from desired: the light source can flicker, emit a characteristic crack or flare up too long.
