In addition to the large number of lamps and luminaires in the new Gauss Smart Light series, there are two types of smart LED strips for decorative lighting. Like other devices in this series, tapes are controlled over Wi-Fi using the convenient WiZ app.
I tested both tape models.
I recently talked about Gauss smart lamps (https://ammo1.livejournal.com/1177634.html) and how these lamps differ from others (https://ammo1.livejournal.com/1182835.html). In the first article I mentioned that in the Gauss Smart Light series there are not only many different lamps and fixtures, but also ribbons.
The two models differ only in the length of the tape (and, accordingly, in the total power and brightness).
Model 5010122 for 5439 rubles with a 3-meter tape gives up to 1000 lumens of light and consumes up to 12 watts.
Model 5020122 for 6839 rubles with a 5-meter tape gives up to 1400 lm of light and consumes up to 16 watts.
Includes reel with tape, power supply 12 V 20 W, control unit, instructions.
Everything is connected on connectors. The power supply has a standard 5.5x2.1 mm round connector, the tape has a six-pin connector.
The tape is "protected" IP44, consists of sections 16.6 cm. Each such area has three groups of LEDs, each with a "warm", "cold" and RGB-LED.
The boxes indicate the power and luminous flux in different modes:
Tape 3 meters - 6.7 W 520-550 lm at 3000K and 6000K ("warm" or "cold" LEDs are on), 12 W and 1000 lm at 4000 K (two types of LEDs are on at the same time), 5 W, 2 W, 2.6 W (red, green and blue LEDs are on respectively).
5 meter tape - 9.3 W 750-770 lm at 3000K and 6000K, 16 W and 1400 lm at 4000 K, 7.3 W, 3 W, 3.6 W in red, green and blue light modes.
The tapes are controlled by the Wiz application in the same way as the lamps: you can adjust the brightness, color temperature, color, enable dynamic modes, adjust the control of a conventional switch.
There are many dynamic modes.
Ribbons, like other lamps and luminaires, can be combined into groups to be controlled as a single device.
When the tape is off, the power supply and the controller draw 0.55 watts from the mains.
I have tested the tapes in various modes. Since the tapes are sold as a finished lighting device (tape, power supply, controller) I measured power consumed from the network (usually when testing tapes, I measure the power consumed from a constant source current).
The measured power in all modes is close to the declared one. There is no light pulsation. The ribbons have a declared color rendering index of more than 80, according to the measurement results, it was 87-88, this is an excellent result.
In warm light mode, a 3-meter tape provides the same amount of light as a 60-watt incandescent lamp, a 5-meter equivalent to a 75-watt incandescent lamp.
Spectra in warm, neutral and cold light modes.
Gauss smart strips can be used for both decorative lighting and lighting. The Wiz application has integration with Yandex voice assistants. Alice, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and the IFTTT control system, which allows these lamps to be connected to almost any smart home system.
