This lamp by OSRAM uses the LEDVANCE trademark, implying it is an LED replacement for fluorescent tubes. I repair LED bulbs (and tubes but broken ones are still rare) as a hobby, and while going through bins I have to avoid fluorescent ones (even CFLs in fancy globes). Welp, there goes my yet-flawless way to tell: “if it says LED, it’s LED”. I really need to shine through most of them! Shining a light through this one reveals nothing inside but a heated electrode at either end (aside the phosphor coating, and a gas mixture including a little mercury vapor), the normal components of an FL tube. LED tubes would include a driver and an LED strip (and usually a PTC at the other end). I mainly use the method to reveal the kinky or twisty tube of “sneaky” CFLs with milky balls.
Also, the company took a while to leave Russia but at least they did

But it doesn’t say LED, it says LEDVANCE. You are mad that you didn’t get horse from a jar that said horseradish.

It doesn’t even look like “LEDVANCE” to me. More like “LEOVANCE”

If you go to therapist on purpose, your not getting what you came for. Kind of a catch-22.
