+ The light is very warm. The color reproduction is above average. It is the yellow light bulbs very close.
+ The fins seem very sensible in life-aspects and take off this product from the low-cost competition.
+ The power factor is given as 0.95. I measured it him: Specifying true! That's phenomenal! This creates almost no reactive power, especially as the ugly distortion reactive power is avoided. That's good for the environment (because the utilities do not have to make more energy available than needed). In addition, this is a clear sign of quality.
o The lamp can be dimmed according to the manufacturer. However, only with special dimmers! A compatibility list of can be found on the homepage of Osram. Those reviewers who have withdrawn because of alleged dimming points should be times See the manufacturer's compatibility list.
o The light is highly directional. If the lamp is down, get the walls and ceiling from little light. This may - depending on the application - be an advantage, but perhaps also a disadvantage.
- The price is relatively high.
- I ordered two of these lamps. The color of these specimens varies visible. This may be an aesthetic disadvantage. It is advantageous, however, that the producers thus less costs incurred and the environment is protected. Normally, namely, those chips whose color deviates too much from the set point, simply be dropped (binning).
But you have to keep in mind that different colors are normal when you eg different old halogen lamps operate side by side. Therefore, I find this less serious disadvantage.
