STATUS branded incandescent lamp quality

[Flurofan96]

The STATUS branded incandescent lamps that were made during pre 2009 and came in packaging of a gradient design. Were they good quality or were they always have been poorly made?

Most modern incandescent was crap. Status wasn't the best.

At EOL some of them would shoot out of the bases!

Status, unfused & poor quality, violent when EOL (except for 150 watt GLS for sme reason), I found fusing them down to 1 amp blew the fuse instead of a nasty EOL bang or shatter.

Are Status the same factory as the new Tungsram lamps (the made in India ones) ?

I have bought a few of the latter for interest. Have not lit any yet, but in one of them the wires in the cap are crossed.... No waiting till EOL

Not surprised - and update to this, I manged to get a 2 pack of candle SES bulbs that came in this style of packaging (solid green colour style)
