Sylvania Linestra Bulbs

Sylvania Linestra bulbs are an incandescent light source though some people mistakenly believe it to be a fluorescent type. It has two side prongs which go into a special socket. They are also known as Osram Linestra or Philips Philinea lamps. The product shown here are the Osram variety although there really is no difference between either brand. Some of the Philips Philinea may appear to be more frosted than white, a small difference. The Sylvania Linestra bulbs are sometimes described on it's packaging as opal, which would be a very accurate description. These bulbs give off a wonderful light that is very flattering. Something to keep in mind is that they're rated for only 1000 hours average rated life, so when you're not using them, it's best to keep them shut off for a longer usable life. The filament inside is very long which can make them vulnerable to vibration.
