So that you, your customers and the environment are spared a great deal

Responsible handling of resources and sustainable protection of the environment are OSRAM's top priority. Therefore as far as development and manufacturing are concerned, we do not think short-term but have long-term horizons. This is evident in the quality of the components and materials used in and in the functional design and longevity of our products and also in the fact that most of them are practically fully recyclable.

Our commitment to climate protection is also clearly reflected in the fact that OSRAM generates the overwhelming portion of turnover from energy-efficient products. These are characterized above all by lower energy consumption and longer lifetimes than comparable standard products. That means: per "light hour" they consume fewer precious resources and produce less waste.

A prime example of this is OSRAM's range of innovative compact fluorescent lamps: consuming up to 80% less energy, they last 20 times longer than conventional light bulbs of the same brightness. Thus they possess enormous potential to save energy and to reduce both costs and greenhouse gas emissions.

The newest hightlight from the OSRAM range of compact fluorescent lamp with screw base is called OSRAM DULUX LONGLIFE EL CLASSICA 20 W.
