While I was in Europe I saw these Osram light bulbs. They are much better than the Chinese

garbage sold in the U.S. They are reliable and economical.

Anyone have any idea why they�re not sold here?



They are; you just haven't found them yet.



Google "A19 CFL". Sears sells them, and Home Depot and Lowe's sell the GE version. Pretty

sure I've seen the Osram/Sylvania bulbs on the shelf at Menards, too, but can't find it on their

website.

That's what I was going to say too. I know I've bought Osram bulbs before.
If you google for it, you'll find them being sold online in the USA.
Not sure what specific product mix they sell here, and they may not be
that common, but there are definitely Osram products sold in the USA.
