Chinese osrams those are. Does the German technology mean that the bits are made in Germany but assembled in China?

Yup, Chinese made Osrams. That slightly hilarious 'German Technology' is the same as what's written on my Osram 250w mbf/u lamp I uploaded recently

I wonder if they bought the machinery from Germany?, or its just another `brand` they can print on because they can!

I suspect this means 'built to a German design, poorly, in China'
