In 1925, OSRAM showcased the world a simple, yet ingenious solution – a lamp with two filaments, one for dipped beam and one for high beam. The BILUX® lamp was born and specifically registered to OSRAM. This enabled all the functions, which previously took up a lot of space and required complex mechanical designs, to be combined in one single light source. The lamp produced two beams with different strengths and angles in one single reflector.
Headlight manufacturers reacted quickly, and this technology became the typical light in all conventional vehicles in the 60s and even the 70s. It’s still available today in its original form. The first generation of the OSRAM BILUX® lamps generally had a P45t base and an electrical output of 40/45 watts.
