Paulmann 217 Lamp holder 230 V for GU10 and GZ10 content_copy

The lamp holder from Paulmann is an accessory for built-in and mounting applications in lighting systems. It is designed for use with light sources of the base types GU10 and GZ10 and operates at a supply voltage of 230 V. The holder is made of ceramic natural, providing a robust and heat-resistant construction suitable for use in electrical luminaires. It serves as a mechanical and electrical connection point for the specified light source types and is typically integrated into recessed luminaires or similar installations.

Applications
The holder is intended for use in permanently installed lighting systems, particularly in recessed luminaires, where a secure and durable connection between the light source and power supply is required. Compatibility with GU10 and GZ10 allows use with a wide range of light sources, including halogen and LED lamps that use these base types. The holder is not designed for mobile or portable applications, but for stationary built-in installations indoors.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The holder ensures a secure electrical contact between the light source and the power supply. The ceramic construction provides high heat resistance and insulation properties, increasing safety during operation. The color ceramic natural corresponds to a neutral, uncolored ceramic tone that can be integrated into various luminaire designs. The holder is designed for direct mounting into luminaires or luminaire units, with the exact mounting method depending on the specific luminaire.

Technology Explained Simply
The holder operates at a supply voltage of 230 V, which corresponds to the standard voltage in Europe. The base types GU10 and GZ10 differ in mechanical design: GU10 has two side contacts and a central pin, while GZ10 has a similar shape but with a different contact arrangement. The holder is designed to securely accommodate both types. Ceramic as a material offers high electrical insulation and heat resistance, which is important for safety during operation.

Compatibility and Accessories
The holder is specifically designed for light sources with base types GU10 and GZ10. These base types are widely used in many recessed luminaires and spotlights. The holder can be used in existing luminaires to replace damaged or worn-out holders.

Mounting and Installation
Mounting is done into the corresponding luminaire opening or unit, with the exact mounting method depending on the specific luminaire. The holder is inserted into the luminaire and usually fixed by a screw or clamp connection. The electrical connection is made via the integrated contacts, which must be connected to the power supply network.

The holder is intended for use in permanently installed lighting systems, particularly in recessed luminaires, where a secure and durable connection between the light source and power supply is required. Compatibility with GU10 and GZ10 allows use with a wide range of light sources, including halogen and LED lamps that use these base types. The holder is not designed for mobile or portable applications, but for stationary built-in installations indoors.

Advantages in Operation
The use of a ceramic holder provides high thermal and electrical stability, increasing the lifespan of the luminaire and enhancing safety. Compatibility with two common base types (GU10 and GZ10) expands application possibilities. The holder is suitable for replacement in existing luminaires, simplifying maintenance and repair of lighting systems. The material selection ensures long-lasting and reliable performance without additional maintenance.
