STATUS branded incandescent lamp quality

Postby Flurofan96 » Fri Mar 08, 2024 2:20 am

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.

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
