Osram Gas Discharge Lamps
Osram HQI & HCI lamps are gas discharge lamps or HID bulbs that work through a combination of gases and an electric current. Because the electricity is sent through the gas, light is created. Gas discharge lamps can be used in different environments. For example, the Osram HQI can be placed in factories, workplaces and sport halls. The Osram HCI gas discharge lamp is suited for shops, foyers and museums. The difference between the HQI and HCI gas discharge lamps lies in the technology. The HCI gas discharge lamp uses a by Osram produced ceramic design that can withstand higher temperatures than an Osram HQI lamp with quartz glass.

Every bulb or fixture has an energy efficiency class A to G. Energy label A is the most efficient and G the least. LED lighting is the most sustainable lighting technique. Even if a LED bulb is rated E or lower, they still save 70% of energy compared to conventional lighting with the same energy label. Why is it the same label then? To motivate LED brands to get even more durable.
