E The Light Factory

The potential to influence archi-tecture through light is unlimited.With ERCOs hardware and soft-ware, light becomes the fourthdimension of architecture. Ourproduct is light which is whywe call ourselves ERCO, the LightFactory.

ERCO the Light Factory

ERCO specialises in producing engineeringhardware and software for architectural light-ing. First and foremost, we see ourselves asselling light, not luminaires. This approach,which places the immaterial software oflight above the physical hardware of the lumi-naires, has been the trademark of our workfor many years. Thats why we call ourselves:ERCO, the Light Factory.

Light interprets spaces and helps us to per-ceive and experience them. In this sense, weconsider light to be the fourth dimensionof architecture.

ERCOs indoor luminaires, outdoor lumi-naires and lighting control systems constitutean extensive range of lighting equipment forgeneral, comprehensive, architectural light-ing solutions. The luminaire is a lighting tool,a piece of lighting equipment with a specialpractical purpose.

The far-reaching change that lighting tech-

nology is currently undergoing due to newlamps, new lens systems, digitally networkablecontrol gear and the corresponding softwareleads to previously unimagined possibilities.We call this new approach Tune the light.Just as networking has allowed new perspec-tives in lighting technology, so too ERCOsclose-knit organisational network also allowsoptimum logistics and sales advice all aroundthe globe. This brochure presents all the facetsof both the networked architectural lightingand the ERCO Service network.

king good architecture even better throughright lighting is what we see as our cul-

al contribution and the raison dtre of ourivities. Today, ERCO illuminates museums,versities, shop windows, churches, airports,numents, hotels, chain stores, trade fairnds, administrative buildings, parks, privateuses and much more besides. Irrespective ofether the architectural concept emphasisesctionality or presentation: our goal is, and

s always been, to find a solution that doestice to the specific use and architecturaltures of each project.

ghting qualitiese language of light

Accent lighting usesbrightness contraststo set up hierarchiesof perception. Thisespecially relates tothe use of directedlight to emphasiseareas or objects in thespace. This attracts theview of the observerand enhances spatialawareness.

Scenic lighting incor-porates the range oflighting effects thatare used for their ownsake either to addatmospheric or deco-rative touches ratherthan because they haveany practical function.Examples include theatmosphere created bya candle on a restau-rant table, an object of

Ambient lighting +Accent lighting +Scenic lighting

Whether lighting a museum, a boutique or apark, there is always a language of light. Thisconcept has evolved over several decades andis now a means for analysing and structuring

lighting projects. The three basic categoriesof this language ambient lighting, accentlighting and scenic lighting go back to theAmerican Richard Kelly, a pioneer of lightingdesign whose projects have included the light-ing of the Seagram Building in New York forMies van der Rohe.

Experience shows that lighting conceptsare considered to be pleasing and success-ful when all three components ambientlighting, accent lighting and scenic lighting are present in a well-balanced relationship.

Light Art or colouredlighting whose mainpurpose is to influenceand change the colourimpression given in aroom.

The ambient lightingcomponent usually con-sists of an evenly dis-tributed light designedfor general visibility.Most standards relatingto purely quantitativelighting design usually

consider this compo-nent of light alone, e.g.regulations for specificilluminance levels atthe workplace.

ghting control system such as the ERCOht System DALI enables the balance of theferent qualities of light to be easily opti-

sed and adjusted to suit changing condi-ns while the building or space is occupied.ch adjustment may be dependent on usage,by modifying light scenes and recallingm manually; or dependent on time, byng timer programs.The effect on the architecture can be com-tely changed at the touch of a button byering the stress of the accent lighting.e style of scenic lighting can be enhancedelectronically controlled, coloured light-effects and dynamic progressions. This inn can only be seen to full advantage whenre is a corresponding reduction in ambientting.

Tune the LightScenography in the lighting network

Our new catch phrase Tune thelight is a logical developmentof our Light not luminairesapproach. Digitally networkedelectronic controls enable mul-tiple lighting parameters tobe manipulated. Light can bemanipulated even more easily,more individually and moreflexibly than ever before allthis is encapsulated in Tune thelight. The interaction of controlhardware and software and theaddressable luminaires in theERCO Light System DALI opensup new dimensions for sceno-

graphic design.

The possibilities for styling roomswith light are virtually endless.One of the most fascinatingproperties of light is its ability tocontinually reinterpret architec-ture. Staging and controlling suchtransformations with the inclusionof the time dimension is what werefer to as scenographic light.Networked lighting from ERCOprovide the basis for shaping howlight interacts with space, timeand atmosphere to form a coher-ent scenography more easily andeconomically than ever before.

The Light System DALI linksdigitally controllable luminairestogether to form lighting net-works networks that use indi-vidual addressing and groupingindependent of the structure ofthe electrical circuits. This resultsin a significant paradigm shiftin lighting design: instead ofhaving a specific, fixed lightingset-up, the new lighting technol-ogy creates the conditions formultiple lighting effects in multi-functional spaces.

It is especially whenlighting gardens orparks that a sceno-graphic approachmeans designing theinteraction betweenartificial light andenvironmental factorssuch as weather andnatural light.

The appearance of aroom is influencedas much by differentbrightness levels as itis by colour contrastsof the surfaces. Digit-ally controlled light-ing tools such as theQuadra LED varychromewallwasher allow thearchitecture to be con-tinually re-interpreted.

One of their tools used inprocess is light as an intangible mediumt allows space to be continuously reinter-ted.Light performs a number of different func-ns in a shop. It attracts att ention, allows theods to be seen to their best advantage andps both orientation and wellbeing. In addi-n, light serves as a medium for expressingcontents and values of a brand so as tomote brand recognition. In this way its as a corporate light concept.

Track-mounted spot-lights are the classicalsolution for displaylighting with stage-like effects, as usedin shop windows.

Special requirements apply to retail lighting.On the one hand light is used professionally,with a love of experimentation and with sceno-graphic concepts. On the other, stringent eco-nomical constraints are an ever-present real-ity. The intelligence and skill of the designerscombine with state-of-the-art lighting toolsto produce solutions satisfying the highestaesthetic and functional requirements, yetwith low operating costs.

The Handbook of Light-design published by ERCO Edition is stilln as the definitive reference work. Today,Internet offers optimum possibilities for

ectly imparting current knowledge to allerested parties.The Guide area of the ERCO Light Scout pro-es extensive information on topics ranging

m the physical basics of lighting throughpossible solutions for specific lighting situa-ns in short, a veritable encyclopaedia ofhitectural lighting. The Guides knowledge-ed modules utilise the Internets interac-

e capabilities in order to clearly illustrateious aspects such as time-related phenom-

If offline-work with theGuide is necessary, CD-ROMs from ERCO areavailable on request.

Design questionssuch as the optimumarrangement of certainluminaire types areanswered by the Guidein a clear and under-standable format.

interactive continuousadjustability.

The topics handled bythe Guide also includethe fundamentals oflighting technology,such as the spectralproperties of certain

lamp types. The Guidetakes a unbiased,didactic approach.

The basic principle ofthe Guide: nothingexplains technical factsbetter than the repro-duction of experiments.

Graphic illustrationsare particularly suitedto interactively explain-ing qualities of lightsuch as how the shapeof a three-dimensionalbody can be formedby directed light.

The Guide covers bothindoor and outdoorlighting applicationscomprehensively.

With its interactive contents the Guide is tailormade for the digital medium of the Internet.The range of knowledge-based modules in the

ERCO Light Scout is continually being updatedand expanded. CD-ROM versions derived fromthe Guide contents at www.erco.com are regu-larly produced and can also run offline with-out an active Internet connection. The GuideCDs which are also suitable as teaching aidsin higher education can be obtained viayour ERCO contact on request. Furthermore,the contents of the Guide are also available inprintable form as PDF files from the Downloadarea of the ERCO Light Scout.

ative lighting designs begin in the mind.e journey from concept to reality takese and has to be convincing. In this regard,

plementing architectural design is largelymatter of communication.Since spatial perception in humans is pri-rily visual, computer-generated visualisa-ns have gained a permanent place in thecess of architectural design. However, just real architecture, virtual architecture alsoy comes to life with light. Thats why everyCO luminaire has a virtual twin in the formdigital luminaire data, which can be down-ded from the ERCO Light Scout website.an then be inserted directly into lightingulation and visualisation software to cre-

physically accurate studies, visualisationsd analyses all in photographic quality. It isecially in the field of vertical illuminancet lighting simulation proves itself to be auable tool for convincingly demonstratingeffect of wallwashers and avoiding design

ors.And yet the virtual luminaires are juste part of the extensive information andcumentation available online in the Lightout. In addition, there are also images, sym-s, specification details, data sheets, photo-tric data and much more all aimed aturing that up-to-date information can

accessed anywhere and at any stage ofdesign process.
