LED lamps – the light of the future

An innovation from OSRAM: advanced LED technology in the shape of a light bulb. PARATHOM CLASSIC lamps replace incandescent lamps up to 60 W. They are ECO-friendly due to a lower power consumption than a standard light bulb. At the same time they offer exceptional durability, with a life of around 25 years.

Requirements for new product information on the packaging

Since 1 September 2009 additional product information on the packaging is mandatory. In addition the EU directive provides that the term “energy-saving" may only be applied to products with Energy Level A. In the future packaging for energy-saving products will provide more information with the help of pictograms. The new directive will also lay down new minimum quality requirements for lamps – to the benefit of the consumer.
