COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS/ENERGY-SAVING LAMPS
Seven myths about
compact fluorescent lamps.
compact fluorescent lamps.
“… take too long to reach full brightness”
This statement does not apply to OSRAM. OSRAM DULUX
®
SUPERSTAR lamps are equipped with patented QUICK
START technology, and OSRAM DULUX
®
EL CONCENTRA
and OSRAM DULUX
®
EL LL CLASSIC A lamps are instantly
bright thanks to Power Induction.
“… cannot be dimmed”
OSRAM has launched infinitely dimmable energy-saving
lamps with its OSRAM DULUX
®
EL DIM range. Please note
that normal energy-saving lamps cannot be used with
dimmer switches.
“… produce a cold light”
How “warm” or “cold” the light is depends on the color
temperature. OSRAM DULUX
®
SUPERSTAR and OSRAM
DULUXSTAR
®
lamps are available in the customary warm
white color with a color temperature of 2700 K. This is
similar to the light from an ordinary light bulb so it is ideal
for use in the home.
“… are much more expensive than ordinary
light bulbs”
If you compare the purchase prices, then an ordinary light
bulb is certainly cheaper than an energy-saving lamp. But
because energy-saving lamps consume far less electricity
they are much cheaper in the long run. A 100 W light bulb
costs a little less than one euro, whereas an energy-saving
lamp of comparable brightness (21 W) costs seven euros.
OSRAM DULUXSTAR

lamps for example will burn for
6,000 hours (OSRAM DULUX
®
SUPERSTAR 10,000 hours);
ordinary light bulbs only last 1000 hours. In this case, six
light bulbs would have to be purchased one after the other
to provide the same service life as a single energy-saving
lamp. In addition, an OSRAM DULUXSTAR
®
lamp saves
around 134.00 euros in electricity costs over its entire life.
“… have an unattractive tubular shape and will not fit
in all luminaires”
OSRAM energy-saving lamps are available not only in the
familiar tubular shape but also in bulb, candle, reflector and
the new Twist versions.
“… should be left on all the time rather than being
frequently switched on and off”
The number of times the lights are switched on and off in the
home is no problem at all for OSRAM energy-saving lamps
and will not shorten their lives. Constantly switching them on
and off for hours and hours on end may shorten their lives.
“… flicker”
OSRAM lamps do not flicker. The integrated electronic
control gear sees to this.
