Are these manufactured by recognized reputable makers? (GE? Sylvania?)

The bulb boxes say "Reflector" on them. I assume that is the manufacturer or brand - not one I recognize, but the bulbs work very well! I had been complaining for a long time about how long it took our old bulbs to brighten up and would often turn on a light several minutes before actually going into a room. These bulbs brighten immediately. We're very pleased with them.

To my knowledge they are not after market and were identify to our original one. We are very happy with our purchase (and they work).

They are labeled Crucial and preform well. Doubt they are counterfeit as Amazon would not knowingly allow their sale. Manufacturers often prefer not to compete with their dealers who often generate large sales volumes.

No, these are definitely not knock-offs. These are what the government and industry buys. They are a heavier duty battery, i.e. longer life.

The answers below are correct. You should probably call GE if you need more specific answers.

Good question, I looked at the packing and the box and parts and found no source or origin of manufacture. They do look like quality parts (look like OEM) Hope this helps....maybe search Evergreen Engine Parts Inc.

They are manufactured by Berkey. They are the same exact ones that come with the complete unit.

Yes. Sylvania bought OSRAM, the original manufacturer. These are still OSRAM ZENARC bulbs and carry a manufacturer's 4 year warranty. Here is a link to the warranty info: http://www.osram.com/osram_com/tools-and-services/services/osram-guarantees/guarantees-for-consumer/guarantee-process-for-automotive-lamps/guarantee-process-for-xenarc-original-headlamps/index.jsp

Here is the link for GE Appliances: http://www.geappliances.com/products/brands/. You can look at the different models and compare.

I'm not sure it's been a while since I purchased mines but, you can call Sylvania and ask them.Good Luck

Beware of answers insisting these are legit. They are probably from sellers. They insist they can be registered when they cannot. Amazon doesn't care if the stuff is real anymore. A shame.

Nope! I got mine a while back and now for certain (Because I've tested them many times.) know that these are NOT Fake. :D

I of course do not know the Sylvania line --- however, at the time I "researched" the entire line. I wanted to make sure the lamps were street legal and an acceptable "value". The bottom line is I could not tell the difference between the 10 year old bulbs I replaced and the new bulbs.

No, I have not used those Sylvania bulbs. I ordered the GE energy smart 60 watt replacement bulbs pack...13 watts each bulb. They are working fine.

Absolutely do not buy these bulbs or anything from this company. Over 100 bulbs I purchased. Mine have been installed for about 12 months and I've replaced 40% of them. They are scamming people. I ended up buying Sylvanias from Home Depot online. Good deal at around $3.50 each when purchased by the case.

I've always thought they were GE, if you go to geapplianceparts.com, it will show theirs and they look exactly the same. I only know they work just as good as the original ones that came with my Reverse Osmosis System. Hope this helps.

I checked a few of the reviewers posting histories. While the ones who have only a single record of reviewing any product might be cause for suspicion, there are many other reviewers whose records appear to be legitimate. I'd suggest that this is not a case of a manufactured conspiracy, but simply a case of poor manufacturing quality control. The buyers who got good units were very satisfied. The buyers who got less-than-good-units were not very satisfied. BTW, this product is currently on sale at a daily-deal website for $69.99 delivered. Your review (and others complaining of poor quality) convinced me to purchase this product ONLY if covered by a "satisfaction guaranteed" warranty.
