Gauss LED Lights

 Gauss LED Lights

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

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

Attention deserves the brand Gauss - a high-tech manufacturer of energy-efficient equipment. Let us see what is remarkable Gauss LED lamps.

Advantages and disadvantages

The quality of LED products of the lighting brand Gauss has managed to evaluate the global community of users in over 20 countries from Spain to the PRC. Now the Gauss product line includes more than 250 items.

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

  • The quality of light. The frosted surface of the central zone in combination with a transparent multi-sector diffuser provides the usual glow of a halogen source, while eliminating the blinding effect - one of the minuses of standard lamps where the bulb is transparent.
  • The brightness of the glow. The LED brightness levels of Gauss products are exceeded by 20%, while the power consumption is the same as that of other brands.
  • Build quality. The built-in LED board, an advanced round-shaped radiator and the absence of unnecessary parts simplify the installation process, eliminating the need to waste time to assemble the lamp and prepare a mortise point.
  • Sizes. Placing LEDs in a 10x37 mm package allows to get the most compact lamps.
  • The degree of reliability and safety. In the new generation of lamps, exclusively protected CBB capacitors are used to stabilize operation with switches equipped with indicators, eliminating blinking and flashes.
  • Compatible with any kind of fixtures, due to the use of all types of bases, optimized shape and reduced body for individual models.
  • Aesthetic appearance. A variety of lighting solutions are impressive verified forms favorably underlined 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.
  • Quality packaging. The package contains detailed information about the main characteristics of the model, which must be taken into account when selecting 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 necessary parameters. It is for this reason that many buyers are forced to independently make calculations, comparing the power of incandescent lamps and LEDs.

Gauss LED bulbs produce a soft, flicker-free glow of sufficient brightness, and their specifications comply with European quality and safety standards.

The relative disadvantage of LED products of this manufacturer is the high cost, which largely justifies cost-effectiveness, durability and practicality of lighting solutions.

Characteristic

All Gauss LED lamps are manufactured with Taiwanese chips. Episar is a leading manufacturer of LED chips. Consider the general characteristics of products.

Appearance

Common forms of lighting elements include:

  • Ball - externally spherical lamp similar to an ordinary incandescent lamp. Perfect for round small shades.
  • Frustum - this form is typical for soffit lamps, representing a kind of pyramid on the base.
  • Candle - scope of candle-shaped lamps - decorative lighting: chandeliers, floor lamps, sconces and other types of interior lamps. Their peculiarity is the presence of a “minion” base, which is used to equip flat or narrow light sources.
  • Candle in the wind - a form characterized by creative execution. Most often, it can be found in dimmable lamps with a stunningly beautiful glow created by the faces of a single crystal, thanks to the mirror reflector of the LED, which helps to increase the brightness of the lamp.

Base Type

As already mentioned, Gauss LED lamps use all types of caps, which determines the purpose of the products. Therefore, you can choose a model based on specific operating conditions.

Classification of socles by purpose:

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