Standard Household Bulbs (GLS)

Specification

Everything published for this product. Anything not listed here is not published — ask and we will confirm it for the unit you are buying.

What it is

An LED array and its driver built into a lamp the same shape and size as the ordinary bulb it replaces, so it fits existing fittings and shades without modification.

Who buys it

Anyone relamping at scale - accommodation blocks, offices, retail, villas - and contractors who want a handover lamped once rather than returned to.

Made of

LED chips on a metal-core board, a small driver in the base, an aluminium or thermally-conductive plastic heat path, and a diffusing polycarbonate dome.

How it works

The driver runs the LEDs at constant current and the base carries the heat away. LED output falls slowly rather than failing outright, so rated life is quoted to the point where output has dropped to 70% - not to darkness.

What it gives you

Full brightness instantly, no mercury, and around a fifth of the running cost of a filament lamp. Typical life is fifteen to twenty-five thousand hours against roughly a thousand for filament.

Fittings

E27 screw and B22 bayonet, which between them cover most existing UAE installations. Check which one the fitting takes before ordering a pallet of the other.

Where it is the wrong choice

Buy the dimmable version for a dimmer circuit - a standard LED on a dimmer buzzes, flickers and dies early. In a fully enclosed fitting the heat has nowhere to go and life drops sharply. And in a bathroom or outdoors the fitting provides the weather protection, not the lamp.

Brand

OSRAM.

Delivery

All 7 Emirates from our own yard. Sharjah and the northern emirates are usually same day on stocked lines; the rest of the country is one to three working days. The delivery charge depends on the emirate, the load and the offloading, and is confirmed in writing on the quotation rather than guessed at here.

Genuine stock

Genuine OSRAM stock, held at our own warehouse rather than drop-shipped. What you order is what is on the shelf, and batch and shelf life are confirmed on request.

Trade and volume

Volume pricing above trade quantities for workshops, fleets, facilities contractors and car wash operators. Send the whole list rather than one line and we will price the package instead of the item.
