As one of the best-selling projector lamps/ bulbs, OSRAM P-VIP® Projector lamps/ bulbs are impacted by many counterfeit lamps. Some of them are very easy to identify, but others are not. No one can guarantee the light performance of those counterfeit P-VIP® lamps/ bulbs.

For decades, OSRAM has been committed to providing premium lighting products to the global market. Our mission is to optimize production processes, strengthen quality control and increase customer satisfaction to brighten your screen

Counterfeit of P-VIP® Projector lamps/bulbs have up to 30% less initial brightness.

OSRAM picked several counterfeit lamps from the market for testing. The result was very surprising. The gap between the initial luminance of counterfeits and OSRAM original P-VIP® projector lamps/ bulbs can reach 30% in the worst situation. Too low brightness can make visible defects on the screen. For instance, you may find a blurred subtitle when watching a movie or have difficulty in seeing the projected slides clearly when presenting at a meeting.

Electrode gap- the main cause for insufficient brightness in projection

In lamp technology, electrode gap and brightness are strongly related. A smaller electrode gap yields higher brightness. It is also optimal to have consistent electrode gaps between the same type of lamps. OSRAM performed a sophisticated test on electrode gap to prove that counterfeit brightness levels were less than OSRAM P-VIP® Projector lamp/ bulb levels. The test result shows that the electrode gap of counterfeit projector lamps/ bulbs is larger than OSRAM lamps by 30% on average, which undoubtedly indicates a much lower brightness. As shown in the graph, the deviation of electrode gap among OSRAM projector lamps/ bulbs is well-controlled and less than counterfeit lamps.

Counterfeit lamps typically have inconsistent light optics across the screen

When presenting with projection, not only vivid colour but uniform brightness distribution all over the screen is the key to the visual feeling. Besides the projector lamp/ bulb itself, OSRAM takes great care in many application details such as how the lamp perfectly integrates into each projector system to ensure uniform and stable optical output on the screen. This optimization of optics is what the counterfeits of P-VIP®projector lamps/ bulbs cannot replicate.

Poor maintenance and reliability of a counterfeit of P-VIP® projector lamps/ bulbs

The endurance of a light source impacts a lot on your practical usage, in a way of functionality and performance. We had a lifetime test with fake lamps and obtained a negative result.

• Besides the lower initial ongoing brightness over the lifetime, the brightness of counterfeit lamps degrades more rapidly than OSRAM P-VIP® projector lamps/ bulbs with the same duration. Until the end of our limited testing time, the luminous flux of counterfeit lamps is much lower and even far below the level of practical use.
• We also found the fake lamp shattered in the test and this bad reliability would induce potential risk to the user.

Counterfeit lamps pale in comparison to OSRAM P-VIP® projector lamps/ bulbs

We produce every burner, the key part in OSRAM P-VIP® projector lamps/ bulbs, in our Berlin, Germany factory. The burner tube is made of high purity quartz glass, which is capable of stable operation using high-pressure mercury up to 300 kPa for a long time. Our factory’s automated machinery and high levels of quality control ensure that all burners are produced to strict specifications. It requires high precision and accuracy while assembling a lamp in our production line so that we can optimize luminous flux and specific optical distribution for projector use.

For proper functionality, we carefully evaluate the reliability of raw materials in the condition of operation and storage. In particular, special ceramic rings and basing cement were chosen for their ability to withstand high temperatures and humidity. OSRAM has been producing premium lamps generating incomparable light as we keep improving product design and production processes.

OSRAM suggests customers purchase genuine OSRAM P-VIP® projector lamps/ bulbs through authorized distributors only.

 Microscope Lights and their role in Medical Industry

The microscope has been successful in various fields such as biology, chemical, microbiology, fibres, medicines etc. The microscopic light emitted from the microscope is intended to transfer light through an object translucent in nature.

Microscope Mercury light, Microscope Halogen light and Microscope Xenon Light are also used as a light source of illumination for specialized forms of microscopy. An external power source manages these lamps by first igniting the lamp, then providing the correct current to maintain constant light.

The world of medical science has grown in leaps and bounds in the past few decades. The quest to find the microbial nature of both living and non-living things have always fascinated the human minds. We have grown a lot, but still, there is a number of unanswered questions, that are left unanswered.

To find the answer to these questions, medical experts and scientists need to observe the objects closely. Thankfully, microscopes made viewing and analysing matter at a minuscule level easy. And the microscope lights have been playing a very crucial role since the beginning.

Microscope Lights and their performance

Microscope Mercury high-pressure light bulbs have better performance than the standard incandescent lamps. These bulbs have bright light, more modest dimension, longer lamp life and better economy.

The Microscope Halogen light bulb has halogen filled in their glass bulb for getting all the vaporized tungsten returned to the filament. Illumination from Microscope’s Halogen light is remarkably uniform throughout the bulb life, depending on lamp type ranging from 50-2000 hours. The Microscopic halogen lamp emits a spectrum like sunlight with a colour temperature ranging from 2900-3350 K.

OSRAM medical lights for microscopy provide illumination for medical and life science systems for laboratories. Photomicrography also uses a microscope light(Halogen lightbulb) with a colour film that produces a colour temperature matching that of the film emulsion, usually somewhere in the range between 3150 K and 3250 K.

OSRAM microscope lights are embedded seamlessly in a wide range of microscopes used in various fields. Advanced German engineering and state of the art development process result in products with consistent performance. This makes them the perfect product to come to your rescue in the case of all your lab needs.

OSRAM creates exciting innovations that enable its customers in the consumer, automotive, healthcare and industrial sectors to maintain their competitive edge and drive innovation that meaningfully improves the quality of life in terms of health, safety and convenience while reducing the impact on the environment. Medical Light is one such essential product range where OSRAM has mastered over decades and this includes microscope lights, surgical lights, endoscopy lights, bilirubin lights, dental lights and diagnostics equipment manufacturing lights

Nowadays, Water Purifier is a common commodity in our homes. Maintenance and servicing of Water purifiers are very much essential so that they can continue to produce safe water to drink. It is crucial to have a regular Water Purifier service and that may include UVC tube change after a certain volume of water purification.

It is necessary to change the UVC tube at regular intervals during your water purifier service (may not be required with every service). Ultraviolet light is considered one of the most effective ways to get rid of harmful pathogens/ bacteria. Regular water purifier service with timely UVC light tube change is highly effective in keeping the water pure.

Know more about trusted UVC Technology in Water Purifiers 

As per a report published by the Global Lighting Association, “UVC treatment is an established technology for disinfection and has been applied extensively since 1910 when it was discovered that it can neutralize microorganisms such as bacteria, moulds and yeasts, as well as – and very importantly – viruses…”.

The same report also says “UVC is commonly associated with radiation within the 100-280 nm wavelength range. Below a wavelength of 200 nm (commonly referred to as vacuum UV), UVC is strongly absorbed by atmospheric oxygen and ozone. Lamps and/or systems designed to provide UVC radiation above 200 nm are utilized for surface, air, and water disinfection.”

The Blue wavelength in the visible light spectrum is the most imminent one to the UV light on the light spectrum and has the highest energy of the Visible Light spectrum. However, it doesn’t carry the disinfection characteristic of UVC light.

UV light contains UVC (100 nm to 280 nm), UVB (280 nm to 315 nm), and UVA (315 nm to 400 nm). The atmosphere blocks natural UVC and most UVB rays, with UV-A accounting for 95% of rays reaching the earth’s surface.

UVC radiation involves a whole lot of applications, and in many ways, it influences our lives. One of the most critical applications is in the Water Purifier. Water is the absolute need of a human body, without which it is near impossible for humans to work effectively. Children, in particular, need to make sure they re-hydrate, as water is the primary way they regulate their body temperature.

OSRAM PURITEC® HNS® UVC produced in Europe is the ozone-free solution. These germicidal lamps emit UVC light at 254 nm, which is very close to the highest effectiveness.  These UVC Light lamps easily fit into any water purifier and the service person can easily install them during your water purifier service.

OSRAM UVC tubes are used by major Water Purifier brands

The UVC light transmitted by the OSRAM HNS® UVC lamps in the water purifier produces purification light that collapses the DNA (fundamental building block) of the bacteria’s cell and stops it from multiplying.

OSRAM is one of the trusted UVC tube suppliers for the majority of the Water Purifier brands. Please make sure the water purifier service executive checks the condition of the pre-installed UVC tube. If replacement is needed, you can always trust OSRAM HNS®UVC tubes produced in Europe.

The Water Purifier is an absolute need for a household and a genuine UVC lamp is one of the essential driving forces to get germ-free drinking water for your family.

As per a report published by the Global Lighting Association, “UVC treatment is an established technology for disinfection and has been applied extensively since 1910 when it was discovered that it can neutralize microorganisms such as bacteria, moulds and yeasts, as well as – and very importantly – viruses.

The effectiveness of UVC radiation as a disinfectant is determined by:

• Action spectrum of the microorganisms and/or viruses
• The wavelength of the UVC radiation (common unit: nm)
• UVC dose, or fluence, (UVC energy/unit area, common units: J/m2 or mJ/cm2) which is the product of:
• UVC irradiance, which is the UV-C power/unit area (common units: W/m2 or μW/cm2); and
• Amount of time the microorganism or virus is exposed to the radiation (common unit: s).”

Importance Water Purifier Services

Keeping the body hydrated is vital for the health of both kids and adults. More than 60% of the human body constitute water which makes half of the human body weight. The human body performs all kind of physical activities, and almost all of it needs pure water.

The brain and heart are composed of 73% water, the skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidney are 79% water. Blood has a large amount of water, which carries oxygen to the cells of our body.

Drinking water if not cleaned properly may develop bacteria, viruses or parasites(pathogens), that can be harmful to your body. These pathogens can make kids and adults sick. Drinking such water is not recommended for drinking.

One of the most effective ways of eradicating pathogens from water is the use of UVC light. OSRAM PURITEC® HNS® UVCproduced in Europe is ozone free solution. These germicidal lamps emit UVC light at 254 nm, which is very close to the highest effectiveness. These UVC Light lamps easily fit into the fittings developed for water purification. 

The provision of clean water is one of the most significant determinants at home as well as in educational establishments. The physical and mental growth of the child is directly affected by the quality of water. Water purifiers with obsolete UV-C light may not be able to completely eradicate the presence of these harmful pathogens. It is essential to change the UV-C tube during service of the water purifier – be it at home or at educational institutions.

The UVC light emitted generates purification light that breaks down the DNA (fundamental building block) of the bacteria’s cell and stops it from multiplying and stopping the growth of the virus completely. The UVC light is the answer to the water purifier needs of household as well as educational institutions.

OSRAM is one of the very few trusted suppliers of UV-C lamps to most of the leading Water Purifier brands – specifically in the household Water Purifier segment. Every Blue light tube, not necessarily a genuine UVC producing tube.

The gym is probably the only place where people sweat and exchange body contact via the machines and equipment. With so much body contact, it implies that it’s the place where indoor pollutants such as harmful bacteria or viruses can create their habitat.

During the workout, excessive physical exercise enforces our body to feed more oxygen to the heart resulting in calorie burn. However, with oxygen, we tend to inhale harmful pollutants into the body. These harmful bacteria can affect the immune system or respiratory system hampering the overall performance.

When we go to the gym, we push our bodies to the limit, hoping to become stronger, healthier, and fitter. The truth is that many modern gyms, particularly those in urban areas, may be harmful to our health. Levels of airborne dust have been found to be high in gyms, partly caused by the high human traffic and constant movement of people and equipment

Despite the best intentions of obtaining a healthy lifestyle by working out in a gym, we are not entirely safe from the potential health hazards. Most of the gyms that we work out in, mainly in the suburban areas, due to their indoor closed confined space can be harmful to our health. With numerous people, sweating and breathing in defined spaces, using shared equipment increases airborne dust in the air.

If anyone contracts a virus and starts feeling unwell, they tend to continue to exercise, to feed to the common notion of “make the illness go away by sweating”. With exercise, the rate of breathing increases, delivering air pollution faster into the gym environment. The nostrils, the natural filtration system of our body, is bypassed as we inhale and exhale through the mouth when we palpitate for air.

The use of air filters can help considerably in creating a healthy environment. It filters the air pollutants from entering our lungs and allows us to breathe more freely.

Air-conditioning systems in gyms eradicate the issues of heat and humidity, but if they are not regularly maintained, it can become a habitat for bacteria and viruses. Due to lack of maintenance, the AC ducts gets accumulated with loads of harmful germs that can enter inside with ac vents.

Regular cleaning of AC ducts can help substantially, but it does not kill the bacteria completely. One of the most effective ways of removing these germs is Ultraviolet (UV-C) purification. UV purification breaks the cell structure of these viruses inhibiting these pollutants from mutating further.

OSRAM PURITEC^® HNS^® UV-C germicidal lamps emit light at 254 nm, which is very close to the maximum effectiveness, and are ozone-free. The installation of these UV-C lamps is effortless as they easily fit into the UV-C fixtures specifically developed for ventilation ducts. When the air passes through the air ducts of the air conditioners, the UV-C radiation breaks down the DNA (fundamental building block) of the bacteria’s cell and stops it from multiplying.

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. Nowadays, HVAC systems are used anywhere from family homes to offices to factories where they provide the means for environmental comfort. Becoming more and more popular in new construction, these HVAC systems use fresh air from outdoors to provide high-quality indoor air.

As per a report by Air Movement and Control Association International, Inc. in short AMCA  “The UVC wavelength can kill 99 per cent or more of all microorganisms living on HVAC air ducts and evaporator coils, depending on UVC intensity, length of UVC exposure, UVC Light placement, and life cycle of UVC lamp.”

Many factories use the HVAC system to provide respite to workers from the extreme heat and humidity. This HVAC system requires regular cleaning and maintenance. If not cleaned, the HVAC system may become the breeding ground for harmful pollutants such as bacteria, viruses, and fungal spores. These harmful bacteria get accumulated at the HVAC ducts and are released into the environment by the AC vents.

Regular cleaning helps profoundly, but it does not completely kill the bacteria. The best way to eradicate the bacteria is the use of UVC purification. UVC purification is a method of killing harmful pollutants by breaking the cell structure of the bacteria. Once the cell structure is damaged, it stops mutating and vanishes.

According to reports, airborne particles and ergonomic risks account for a substantial part of chronic diseases. A report by WHO says that 4-6% of GDP is affected directly due to work-related health issues for many countries. An initiative by companies can ensure the health safety of workers creating a conducive environment for workers.

A vast section of a country constitutes of workers employed in the informal sectors such as a factory. One of the biggest challenges of working in a factory is the availability of clean air to breathe. The health of factory workers is a prerequisite for the economic expansion of a country. Occupational hazards are a common issue due to health risks such as chemical fumes, dust, heat, etc.

All factory workers need fundamental health care, especially the ones who work in high-risk occupation. Work-related contagious diseases and cardiovascular hazards result in long-term illness if not taken care of in the beginning.  Chronic diseases are one of the most common health issues with factory workers.

OSRAM PURITEC® HNS® UVC germicidal lights emit light at 254 nm, which is very close to the maximum effectiveness, and are ozone-free. The installation of these UVC Lights is not much of an effort as they easily fit in the AHU of the HVAC system.
