Linear halogen inside. Pros and cons?
|
The "EMOS A60 ECO" lamp compared to an "Osram Classic Superstar".
The EMOS lamp has a linear halogen inside so it needs longer bulb than the latter. It also gives off almost no light in the cap/filament axis direction. I wonder if there are any advantages in this approach?

I can't see any big difference - three supporting points in both cases and a smaller capsule in the case of single-end version is rather a performance advantage (if I'm not mistaken...).
Or lower cost...
Btw. (as discussed in another thread), here you can see those 100,000 switching cycles directly on the box.
Nice to see 105 watts incandescent halogen bulb here. I wish we have those incandescent halogen bulbs sold in our market with this wattage rating
In the past Philips and its knockoff used to sell up to 150 Watts of incandescent halogen bulbs in BT15 shaped envelope.
Here, you can still get classical GLS incandescents up to 100W either as "heaters" for hen houses, greenhouses etc. - to circumvent the bans or as rough-service lamps.
I haven't seen anything stronger than 100W for years though.
