Title: Ordered OSRAM - Got Sylvania
Review: 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.
