Made in Germany !! Osram seems to produce the professional versions in Germany, thanks Osram! Lots of light and when the life of true, long time no repairs are needed. The light source is slightly more expensive than the standard version, but should last twice as long, so the bottom line is worth buying anyway !! So far, I had to replace any of my many exchanged capsule lamps 7W / 14W / 20W from Osram, they keep and hold .... So a recommendation !!
