Philips themselves say they're only available in Dubai.

You might think they are the same because of the same Phillips purple box design, you'd have to read the number of philaments.

Link? The same bulbs as described, or just "normal" Philips LEDs?

I found some similar looking LED offers by Migros, the largest (or second largest) retail chain in Switzerland:

Nope, those have overdriven LEDs, look how few 'filaments' they get.

The first bulb you linked consumes 2.8 watts and produces 250 lumen.

The Dubai one consumes 1 watt and produces 200 lumen, that's more than 2x difference in efficiency.

Hey don’t argue with the click bait

Please don't.
