Branded Lamps - what is all the fuss about?
Many of our listings are for light fittings that come complete with 'Branded Lamps' and you will note that when this is the case we then make a deliberate point of advising the buyer that the lamps that will be supplied with their fittings will either be Osram, Sylvania or Philips.
There is a simple reason why we do this and many other sellers do not.
Osram, Sylvania and Philips lamps are an industry standard within the lighting trade of a 'Branded Lamp' and a mark of accepted quality, which of course comes at a price which many sellers prefer to avoid.
However, we are passionate about lighting and want to supply the best and so wherever possible we will provide Branded Lamps with your purchase as high quality light fittings deserve the best.
The benefits of a branded Lamp include far superior colour rendering from the lamp and a longer life which we believe are of the utmost importance.
You do not want to buy a light fitting and then be disappointed by the actual quality of the light and then to add insult to injury have to replace them in no time at all – this can be an expensive mistake.
Please be aware of sellers claiming to offer 'Branded and/or Long Life Lamps' who choose note to inform the buyer what make the lamps are. Sadly there is normally a simple reason for this and you will end up counting the cost when you have to replace the lamps supplied.
If the seller does not clearly articulate what they are selling then you have every right to check first which you will find is far easier than complaining later.
Not all of our fittings come with Branded Lamps as we understand that we have a responsibility to provide products for all incomes, but when this is the case we will be very clear in the listing and not mislead you. Moreover, the unbranded lamps that we do supply are still good quality lamps and not far east imports - many of which can be dangerous.
Please always check before you buy otherwise the 'Branded Lamps' you are expecting may be a nasty surprise.
Kind regards.
