Are gu5.3 hexagonal light bulbs still available for downlights?
Hexagonal light bulbs are no longer available in our range.
Are Quadro gu5.3 light bulbs for downlights still available?
Quadro light bulbs are no longer part of our product range.
Will a lamp with a GU base fit into a light fitting with a GZ socket?
A GU lamp fits into a GZ socket, but a GZ light bulb does not fit into a GU socket. GZ lamps emit heat at the rear and can cause a light fitting to overheat. For this reason, GU sockets are installed in temperature-sensitive lights, so that a GZ light bulb cannot be inserted.
Why are fluorescent tubes no longer available from Paulmann?
As part of the EU Ecodesign Directive (SLR/ELR Regulation) of September 2021, fluorescent tubes were also withdrawn from the product range in September 2023.
What is the beam angle of 90°, 120° or 360°?
On the packaging of light bulbs, the beam angle at which the brightness was measured is stated below the lumen rating. We distinguish between measurements taken in a sphere (360°), a wide cone (120°) or a narrow cone (90°).
What is a base?
The base is the part of the lamp that provides both mechanical support and electrical contact within a lamp holder.
What are halogen light bulbs?
Lamps with a tungsten filament that contain a special gas mixture, including halogens, are collectively referred to as halogen light bulbs.
What are cold-light mirror lamps?
The cold-light reflector lamp is a special type of reflector lamp. The term ‘cold light’ derives from the low proportion of heat in the emitted light. In the case of a halogen reflector lamp with a cold-light coating, the heat is predominantly dissipated backwards through the reflector coating.
What are reflector bulbs?
Reflector lamps are light bulbs that contain a reflector and produce directed light. They are also known as PAR lamps.
What are security reflector lamps?
SECURITY lamps are halogen reflector lamps. Unlike cold-light lamps, SECURITY lamps emit up to 80 per cent of their radiant heat forwards, in the direction of the light beam. This significantly reduces temperatures within the hollow ceiling, for example in downlights.
How big is the E27/E14 base?
The screw base features an Edison thread (E); the number following the E indicates the thread diameter in millimetres. Common sizes are 27 mm and 14 mm.
When replacing fluorescent tubes, the ballast installed on site is crucial. A distinction is made here between conventional ballasts (CCG) with a starter and electronic ballasts (EVG). You can find the right led tube in the correct length in our online shop using the following criteria:
Mains voltage or conventional ballast: Type EM
Electronic ballast: Type HF

How can you tell if a light bulb is a high-voltage one?
Our high-voltage light bulbs are available in gu10, E27, E14, G9, B22d, B15d and R7s sockets and are marked as suitable for 230V.
How can you tell if a light bulb is low-voltage?
Low-voltage lamps are marked with the low-voltage rating, e.g. 12V.
