Gebrüder Schneider. GICS: Famous Lamps. Truly enameled and ”clear as glass“.

This popular type of lamp can be found all overthe world. The lamp shades were originally enameled, which means they were coated with colored porcelain glaze on the outside and snow white glaze on the inside. The inner coating improved the lamp‘s reflective properties, while the outer coating ensured unfading color and made the lamp shades – which were often intended for outside use – completely weather-proof for decades. Almost all manufacturers have now substituted the process of enameling these types of lamps with the significantly more cost-effective process of powder coating. The lamps of this series were originally manufactured by ”Gebr. J. & C. Schneider Leuchtenfabrik und Emaillierwerk“ in Germany – a metal and enameling workshop manufacturing streetlamps since 1876, which started manufacturing this series of lamps under the brand name of GICS at the beginning of the 20th century. Now they are manufacturing this series again at our suggestion and in cooperation with us.

Besides the standard lights with porcelain E27 sockets, various custom-built designs are available for:

• compact fluorescent lamps,
• high-pressure lamps,
• halogen lamps and
• LEDs
• with either horizontally or vertically positioned lights and
• with one or more lamps.
• Designs featuring a glass finishing element  are also available.

Please contact us if the lights need to meet special requirements, i.e. for use in public areas.

All lights conform to IP 23 and are suitable for outside use. They are grounded and the area where the cable enters the light is protected. In addition, the enamel finish protects the surface from weather wear and tear.
The lamps are also available in different colours for an additional charge with an order of 100 or more.

Spotlights

The lamp’s reflectors and domes are made from sheet steel enameled in white on the inside and in color on the outside. Suspended lamps are equipped as follows:

• porcelain socket E 27 (max. 100 W),
• black varnished metal canopy with strain relief and ceiling suspension bracket,
• 1,5 m black and white textile cable.
