OSRAM in fight against lamp fakes
The increasingly high incidence of fake OSRAM Xenon (HID) light sources has led the company to introduce a system that enables consumers to easily check them out. Aimed at drivers whose cars use these types of lamp, this new facility is called the Trust Program, and it is designed to ensure that drivers do not have to suffer from premature bulb failures or poor headlight beams.Fake and counterfeited products, many of them from China, have been a serious and growing problem for years. Any counterfeit product is likely to be poor quality, but the problem is much more serious for electrical products because fakes – apart from not working well (or at all) – are often potentially or actually dangerous.Two-step security check; OSRAM says that its headlight bulbs (‘light sources’ are called ‘bulbs’ for consumers) are continually being copied illegally by product pirates. So, to protect consumers from low-quality fakes, the company has launched its own Trust Program. This uses a two-step security check, enabling consumers to easily verify whether the lamps they have bought are OSRAM originals that have been manufactured in accordance with international quality and safety standards.
