Slovakian Osram?

Put anything here that's badly designed/made, failed, catastrophically exploded or just an epic fail in a general sort of way.

Slovakian Osram?

Postby AngryHorse » Wed Nov 28, 2018 10:24 pm

Not impressed with these SON-I, 3 out of the 9 I installed in Jan 17 are cycling 'pissed , also the Chinese Philips HPIs I fitted at Aqua have both exploded within just 18 months!, no wonder today’s HID are loosing out to LED!

I find SON I is generally shite all round. The SON T or SON E are different. Those lasted like 8 years the slovakian osram SON T with the ring around the top

Venture seem to be the only ones actually still developing their HIDs, ie like their uni-form quartz arc tubes.
