Gauss LED Bulbs

The appearance of the first industrial designs of Light Emitting Diodes (LED) - LEDs emitting red and yellow-green glow, fell on the middle of the last century. The mass distribution of their repeatedly improved "white" counterparts, which already possessed a sufficient degree of brightness, began in the era of the "zero". Today, the LED lamp is the undisputed leader among the existing light sources in terms of power, luminosity, emission spectrum and efficiency.

Considering that the demand curve for LED devices remains at consistently high levels, the Russian market for LED products is replete with offers from domestic and foreign manufacturers of lighting equipment. The choice is always good, although the variety of types of LED lamps, differing in shape, color, power, size, complicates the purchase to a certain extent. Our goal is to guide you in the range of products from this market segment.

The quality of LED products of the Gauss lighting brand has been appreciated by the world community of users in over 20 countries from Spain to China. Now the Gauss product line includes more than 250 items.

What is the difference between Gauss LED products and analogues of other brands:

• The quality of light. The matted surface of the central zone in combination with a transparent multi-section diffuser provides the usual glow of a halogen source, while eliminating the glare effect - one of the disadvantages of standard lamps, where the bulb is transparent.
• The brightness of the glow. The brightness values ​​of Gauss LED products are exceeded by 20%, while the power consumption is the same as that of other brands.
• Build quality. The built-in LED board, the improved round-shaped heat sink and the elimination of unnecessary parts simplify the installation process, eliminating the need to spend time assembling the fixture and preparing the injection point.
• Sizes. The placement of LEDs in a 10x37 mm housing allows you to get the most compact lamps.

• The degree of reliability and safety. In the new generation of lamps, exclusively protected CBB capacitors are used, which make it possible to achieve stabilization of operation with switches equipped with indicators, excluding blinking and flashing.
• Compatible with any kind of fixtures, due to the use of all types of base / plinths, optimized shape and reduced body for some models.

• Aesthetic appearance. A variety of lighting solutions impress with precise shapes, which are favorably emphasized with the help of original textures and colors. Exclusive collections of lamps made of aluminum alloys, brass, bronze and plaster with the possibility of self-painting are able to satisfy the needs of the most sophisticated buyer.
• The quality of the packaging. The packaging contains detailed information about the main characteristics of the model, which must be taken into account when choosing a lamp. Not every manufacturer can boast of smart packaging, which is designed to simplify the purchase process, and not complicate it due to the lack of the necessary parameters.It is for this reason that many buyers are forced to make their own calculations, comparing the power of incandescent lamps and LEDs.

Gauss LED lamps produce a soft, flicker-free glow of sufficient brightness, and their technical characteristics correspond to the European level of quality and safety standards.

All Gauss LED bulbs are manufactured with Taiwanese chips Episar is a leading manufacturer of LED chips. Let's consider the general characteristics of the products.

Common forms of lighting elements include:

• Ball - externally, a spherical lamp looks like a regular incandescent lamp. Perfect for small round shades.
• Frustum - this shape is typical for soffit lamps, which are a kind of pyramid on a base.

• Candle - the scope of candle-shaped lamps - decorative lighting devices: chandeliers, floor lamps, sconces and other types of interior lamps. Their feature is the presence of a "minion" base, which is used to equip flat or narrow light sources.
• A candle in the wind - a form that is distinguished by creative execution. Most often it can be found in dimmable lamps with a stunningly beautiful glow created by the edges of the monocrystal, thanks to the mirror reflector of the LED, which helps to increase the brightness of the lamp.

As already mentioned, all types of caps are used in Gauss LED lamps, which determines the purpose of the products. Therefore, you can choose a model taking into account specific operating conditions.

Base / plinth classification by purpose:

• E14 minion / E27standard - two traditional types of plinths, used mainly for domestic needs.

• G4 / GU5.3 / GU10 - types of lamp bases that can fully replace the corresponding halogen lamps.

• GX-53 - this type of base is equipped with built-in / surface-mounted luminaires of various types, which are used to illuminate ceiling structures and furnishings.
• G-13 - lamps with such a base are equipped with linear / ceiling luminaires designed to illuminate large areas.

The operating voltage range is 12-265 W. Since not all models have a driver, they require a 12 volt power supply to operate. Products with a power supply unit are distinguished by great functionality, they work with an input voltage of 220 volts.

This parameter is the same for any lamp model. The lower temperature limit is 25 ° C, and the upper limit is 50 ° C.

The color temperature indicators for lamps for residential lighting are 2,700 K, and for office premises - 4,100 K. LED products of this brand have a light transmission coefficient of Ra90, which is quite a lot, given that the reference light source has a color rendering index of Ra100. The angle of the light beam is from 120 ° to 360 °.

The operating time for different models varies within 25-50 thousand hours. If you are used to seeing higher indicators of the functional resource of LED products, remember whether the lamp has always worked out the declared period. It is precisely this manufacturer who does not tend to exaggerate the capabilities of their products, misleading buyers. The warranty period for different series can range from 1 to 3 years.

Lighting products - lamps and luminaires produced by the Gauss trademark, are represented by several categories of products used in different fields.

The range of LED lamps for household needs includes the following lines:
