I have put both Osram and Philips... as around this area in the street lights they can do 9-10 years easy no problem. The osram slovakia ones they used here did well with the ring frame those did 10 years on average but some did over that. the philips lamps PIA, i am only now just starting to see the newer fatter lamps be pulled. But the older thinner type tonnes of them being pulled between 2007-10 And those are 2011 the first of the fats so far. However GE can be good too. I have come across certain batches that Were used in this area in the Street lights that have reached 13 years plus. Belgium Sylvania are good as well. I am mainly going off the 70w and 150w lamps here

Selected GE too as forgot to submit my vote... radium were made by osram and in some cases here, lasted longer than the osram. This Goes for their sox, son, fluorescents as well. They seemed better

90s Osram Germany and up to mid 00s Philips Belgium. Also better in light color than some of todays SON (non Super). Don't know about Thorn/GEC
