FAQs

What is the meaning of 'S/E' in the product name?

'S/E' typically refers to Osram's specific product line or design, often indicating a compact fluorescent lamp intended for general lighting applications within appliances.

Can this bulb be used in a standard household lamp with an E27 base?

No, this bulb has a 2G7 cap type and is not compatible with standard E27 screw bases. It requires a specific fixture designed for the 2G7 fitting.

What is the optimal operating temperature for this bulb?

While designed for appliances like refrigerators, specific optimal temperature ranges should be consulted from the appliance manufacturer's manual or Osram's technical documentation for peak performance and lifespan.

Is this bulb suitable for outdoor use?

This bulb is typically intended for indoor use in enclosed fixtures. Outdoor use would require a specifically rated weather-proof fixture and may affect performance and lifespan.

How does the dimming feature work?

The bulb itself is dimmable, but it requires a compatible dimmable electronic ballast to control the light output from 100% down to 3%.

What is the energy consumption per 1000 hours?

The energy consumption is rated at 13 kWh per 1000 hours, aligning with its energy efficiency class A rating.

How should I dispose of this bulb?

Due to its mercury content, this bulb should be disposed of according to local electronic waste regulations. Do not discard it in regular household trash.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not turn on

Check that the bulb is correctly seated in the 2G7 socket. Verify that the fixture has power and the ballast is functioning correctly. Ensure compatibility with the ballast type (electronic or conventional with starter).

Flickering or inconsistent light

This may indicate an issue with the ballast or power supply. Ensure the bulb is compatible with the ballast. If using a conventional ballast, check the starter. If the problem persists, the ballast may need replacement.

Bulb dims prematurely or fails before expected lifespan

Ensure the bulb is operating within its specified environmental conditions. Avoid frequent on/off cycling if possible, as this can reduce lifespan. Check for proper ventilation if installed in an enclosed space.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the power is switched off before installing or removing the bulb. Insert the 2G7 cap firmly into the corresponding socket. This bulb is designed for use with electronic ballasts, and may also work with conventional ballasts if an external starter is used.

Compatibility: This bulb features a 2G7, four-pin base.

Care: To maintain performance, periodically clean the bulb and fixture with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the bulb is cool before cleaning. Avoid touching the glass with bare hands during installation, as oils can shorten the bulb's lifespan; use a clean cloth. Dispose of the bulb according to local regulations due to its mercury content.
