ANN: Hello children. Bedtime is probably not a good time to bring up the monster under your bed.
But you know it's there, don't you? In the shadows; in the darkest recesses.

You think that if your mother leaves the light on you'll be safe, don't you? Hmph. It's time to accept a carpet-coloured, infant-munching truth, children. Lights merely alert the monster under your bed to your presence!

This has been a bedtime warning from Osram energy saving lamps.
They may not save you, but at least they save more energy.
Brief Explanation
Osram energy saving lamps do what their name suggests. Saving up to 80% more energy than normal bulbs, they are the best alternative to turning the light off, all together. To promote them, our campaign focuses on the one time when lights are better left on - a child's bedtime. Each separate commercial is an eerie 'bedtime warning' stating that, although an energy saving lamp is useless against bedroom monsters, it will save energy. The campaign was aired during drive time and targeted parents heading home for the evening.
