Customer Review: Ordered OSRAM - Got Sylvania
Summary: 2 Stars
Note that you may be confused when you thought you ordered a product from OSRAM and what you get is one from Sylvania. These two companies merged in 1993, OSRAM being a German company and Sylvania being an American company with a long history of consumer products in the United States. Regardless ... what you get is a light bulb manufactured in China with the Sylvania brand. This is probably true for just about any brand of light bulb you might order.
The OSRAM website says these bulbs should last 2500 hours. Based on my personal experience - don't expect that. In fact I think the average is closer to 1000 hours. This is based on the fact that I regularly cycle through the 24 bulbs I have in my house and have gotten a good feel for how reliable various brands are. Worst is Westinghouse, Sylvania is next and upon ordering this round of bulbs I expected to test the OSRAM bulb only to find out that they are in fact Sylvania's also.
Customer Review: Defective or just a piece of junk?!
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought two of these bulbs, because they are the only size that will fit into our apartment ceiling lights. They're quite expensive, so I figured I'd give Amazon a chance with my light bulbs. I don't think I'll be doing that again! I bought two, and one immediately wasn't working. I just figured that it got messed up in shipping and shrugged it off. The other one was working fine... for all of 2 days! It burnt out within 48 hours! I'm not sure what the issue was, but as I already threw away the boxes I couldn't return them... so there goes my light bulb purchasing experience on Amazon. These bulbs are crap and I'd definitely not get them online!Customer Review: Don't Buy!

Very poor quality. 2 of the 4 bulbs I ordered burnt out in one week so I returned them all.
