Each bulb is 14W, equivalent to a 75W traditional bulb. They feature a Bayonet Cap (BC) fitting, specifically B22. The bulbs emit a Warm White light with a color temperature of 2700K. The dimensions of each bulb are approximately 132mm in height and 43mm in width. These energy-saving lamps utilize compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) technology to produce light output comparable to conventional tungsten filament bulbs but with significantly lower power consumption. This technology also leads to a vastly increased lifespan compared to standard lamps. The marked wattage on these energy-saving bulbs is considerably lower than their equivalent conventional counterparts, resulting in lower running costs per hour. These are 'A' rated energy-efficient bulbs with an estimated lifespan of 10,000 hours.
This guide is for homeowners and professionals seeking energy-efficient lighting solutions. The OSRAM DULUX SUPERSTAR STICK offers a significant reduction in energy consumption and a long lifespan, providing excellent value. However, it is not dimmable and may require enclosed fixtures for outdoor use. This product utilizes Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) technology to deliver light output comparable to traditional bulbs but with much lower power usage and extended durability, leading to cost savings and fewer replacements.

FAQs
Is this bulb dimmable?
No, the OSRAM DULUX SUPERSTAR STICK bulb is not dimmable. It is designed for use with standard on/off light switches only.
What does '14W (=75W)' mean?
It means the bulb consumes 14 watts of power but produces a light output equivalent to a traditional 75-watt incandescent bulb.
How long will this bulb last?
This bulb has an estimated lifespan of up to 10,000 hours.
What is the color temperature of this bulb?
The color temperature is 2700K (Warm White), providing a cozy and inviting light.
Can I use this bulb outdoors?
Yes, but only in enclosed and ventilated luminaires to protect it from moisture and environmental factors.
How should I dispose of this bulb when it reaches its end of life?
CFL bulbs contain a small amount of mercury and should be disposed of responsibly. Please check your local waste disposal guidelines for proper recycling or disposal procedures.
What is the advantage of Quick Light Technology?
Quick Light Technology ensures the bulb reaches 60% of its full brightness within 30 seconds, providing light almost instantly when you turn it on.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not turn on
Check that the bulb is screwed in securely. Ensure the light fixture is receiving power and that the switch is functional. Verify that the bulb is compatible with the fixture (not used with a dimmer).
Flickering light
This can sometimes occur during the initial warm-up phase. If flickering persists, check the bulb's connection in the socket. Ensure the fixture is rated for CFL bulbs and is not a dimmer switch. If the issue continues, the bulb may need replacement.
Reduced brightness over time
CFL bulbs naturally experience a gradual decrease in light output over their lifespan. If brightness significantly decreases before the rated lifespan is reached, check for issues with the fixture or power supply. The bulb may be nearing the end of its life.
Bulb flashes when switched on then goes out
This may indicate an incompatibility with the light switch or fixture, particularly if it's a dimmer. Ensure the bulb is only used in a non-dimmable fixture with a standard on/off switch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the power to the light fixture is switched off.
Carefully remove the old bulb.
Screw the new OSRAM DULUX SUPERSTAR STICK bulb into the B22d bayonet socket until it is secure.
Restore power to the fixture.
Compatibility:
This bulb uses a B22d Bayonet Cap fitting. Ensure your light fixture is compatible with this type of base.
It is not dimmable. It should not be used with dimmer switches, as this can lead to malfunction or premature failure.
For outdoor use, the bulb must be installed in an enclosed and ventilated luminaire to protect it from the elements.
