Welcome Welcome to the Spring edition of ‘Dipped Beam’ our regular update on new products and marketing activities. To add to the success of the Osram NIGHT BREAKER® UNLIMITED added value bulb range the H8, fog light, upgrade version has recently been introduced expanding the range of NBU types available to 8 different halogen variations. Combined with the new COOL BLUE® INTENSE H15 and H16 types this allows our partners to offer the widest range of halogen upgrades to the market. Sales of HID (Xenon) bulbs have been increasing steadily as these bulbs are now needing to be replaced in many cars. This is a perfect opportunity to offer your customers a choice – replace with the Osram OE original with its 4 year guarantee or offer an upgrade with the COOL BLUE® INTENSE or award winning NIGHT BREAKER® UNLIMITED types. Offering customers a choice allows additional profit opportunities especially as we have seen a strong market for not only replacing failed HID bulbs but upgrading them as well! Please request your copy of the HID bulb menu. Osram also offers access to a wide range of application data via our free app and marketing materials. These are available for our stockist partners as well as garages and workshops who wish to sign up to our free Osram Installer Programme. See inside for details and let us know if there are any other marketing materials that you need. Added value is the cornerstone of our success together and we look forward to moving forward with our partners and installers.

These like-for-like upgrade bulbs are perfect for drivers wanting whiter and brighter light on the road ahead; those that want maximum performance and ultimate safety when driving on the roads at night. The range keeps getting bigger with the latest introduction of the H8 ECE bulb.

Fight the Fakes. Trust Osram! At Osram, we always aim to provide you with the highest quality products. We therefore monitor all quality and performance aspects of our products throughout the whole manufacturing and shipping process as carefully as possible. In recent years there has been a rising number of fake HID bulbs in the market place. These fake products imitate branded products and can appear to be genuine to the untrained eye. The fake bulbs offer a very poor performance and do not last very long. To combat this fake product and to ensure that consumers can be confident that they are buying a genuine Osram HID product we have developed the Osram Trust Programme. The Osram Trust Program enables consumers to confirm the originality of the HID bulbs they purchase by checking two features that are added to HID bulbs during the manufacturing process. These features enable consumers to authenticate the bulbs they purchase quickly and easily by checking the bulbs on the Osram online tool.
Don’t be fooled by the fakes. For more details on the Osram Trust Programme visit: www.osram.co.uk/trust
