peer agreement (net): +1lamps and bulbs Explanation: I am not sure whether there is an equally "posh" expression in English but as far as I know "Leuchtkörper" are simply the different types of lamps whereas "Leuchtmittel" are the bits you put into them to make the work, ie. the bulbs. I am just translating a furniture catalogue English to German and they simply use these English terms for what their German brochure refers to Leuchtmittel & Leuchtkörper. Good luck |
