Osram lamps are the product of a high-tech German light source company. The company has been on the market for twelve years and is growing rapidly, gaining more and more consumer confidence.
Varieties
During its existence, the company has greatly expanded its range. Osram produces many types of light sources, the main ones are:
- standard incandescent bulbs;
- halogen;
- very compact fluorescent lamps;
- gas-discharge light sources;
- LED modules;
- special purpose irradiators;
- car lighting fixtures.
The last category of products is quite wide, it includes starters, signals, indicator lamps and optics. The complete production base of the company includes more than 5 thousand kinds.
Standard Osram bulbs
These light sources differ from those produced by other companies only in their long service life and good brightness. Their production continues, but the popularity of incandescent lamps has declined significantly overrecent years.
In fact, such light sources do not consume so many resources, but this does not prevent them from losing ground in favor of newer designs. Now at the peak of popularity among the townspeople is an energy-saving lamp (fluorescent). Osram also produces them, and among the existing models, especially popular with the consumer have emerged.
Energy-saving light sources
These lamps are so popular due to their good efficiency combined with their compact size. They provide high light output with low power consumption. The only requirement put forward by the manufacturer when using this type of equipment is special conditions for the disposal of products after the end of their service life. Moreover, it is dangerous to break such light sources in residential premises due to the specific composition (with the integrity of the glass shell, it is harmless).
The company produces light sources for both apartments and offices, shops, industrial premises. For example, the Osram Dulux L compact lamp is designed for public buildings. It replaces long tubular fluorescent lights with equal performance.
Halogen bulbs
Designed for a wide range of use, for domestic and industrial purposes, in various lighting systems. They differ from standard incandescent lamps in a longer service life, almost twice the service life of traditional light sources.
Most halogenproducts presented by Osram catalogs, have the ability to adjust the brightness (dimming), a wide variety of shapes and types of plinths. In addition, the company produces high-quality light sources for cars (Osram Night Breaker lamps), which constantly win in 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 domestic use, moreover, they contain toxic substances that are more dangerous than in fluorescent lamps, and require special disposal conditions that may not be observed in small settlements. But among the advantages, one can note good color rendering stability, efficiency and high service life, which completely pays off the cost of such light sources.
For these reasons, Osram discharge lamps are mainly used for showcases, trading floors and arenas, less often - at industrial facilities and office buildings. These light sources are best suited for booth decoration where compact systems are required.
The company's catalog contains all existing types of such lamps, which is also an advantage.
LED illuminators
This category is represented by the widest range, because there is always a demand for it. It is very much in demand in the design industry, because it provides a lot ofpossibilities for the design of rooms and stands, allowing you to realize many ideas for the embodiment of a certain atmosphere. The arrangement of light accents is extremely important for any visual presentation, so 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, is on top. The modules have good mechanical resistance to external influences and are characterized by the lowest power consumption among all products presented by the company.
Special purpose irradiators
This category of Osram products is represented by light sources for specific purposes. This includes illuminators for photography and biolabs, projection systems, sign lamps, microlithography modules, infrared heaters, special animal care equipment, and large street lights.
Products
Osram lamps (prices are acceptable, but vary depending on the place of sale and the equipment itself) are presented in a wide range: the product catalog contains almost all imaginable types of illuminators, including those intended for personal vehicles. In addition, today the company produces lamps for domestic and industrial use, special ballasts for its own (and notonly) 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 the official website of the company presents various ideas for decorating rooms using Osram products and examples of its application. There you can also find articles with news and descriptions of the technologies used.
Product reviews from consumers
As a rule, customers leave very positive feedback on any product category. Motorists are especially satisfied, they note that the light sources produced by the company do their job perfectly and serve them for several years without losing their original properties.
However, mostly reviews are left on special irradiators, sharpened for specific professional purposes. There are much fewer responses about household and industrial light sources (for example, the Osram L lamp) and they are more difficult to find on the Web, since for the most part such information is of interest to motorists or cyclists who are forced to ride at night.
Older reviews report short life of products, but new batches after 2010 are praised by consumers, although fluorescent lamps still fall short of 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. Products of thisthe company will quickly fail with strong power surges, and in general, its behavior will be far from desired: the light source may flicker, emit a characteristic crackle, or flare up for too long.
