ERCO Innovations 2008/09

The essence of innovations is more than a collection of crea -tive ideas, inventions or research results. It is the implementation of these to bring about a change for the better, to benefit the people who will use them. The new ERCO Program includes a phenomenal 800 new products. Some are additions to, and updates of, existing ranges, but predominantly, it includes several completely new product ranges. New developments provide the opportunity to link state-of-the-art technology with the results of ERCO’s own research and develop ment to produce designs which are as innovative as the technologies used in these prod-ucts. The following pages intro-duce our key innovations that have resulted in new ERCO light-ing equipment, and explain the concepts behind the new prod -uct ranges. The aim is to enable every lighting user to exploit the advantages and possibilities afforded by these developments straight away.

Spherolit reflectors: a new technology

The innovative and exclusive technology which ERCO intro-duced in Spherolit reflectors presents a virtually ideal light quality. The reflectors offer many practical advantages to lighting designers and users. After intro-ducing Spherolit reflectors some two years ago in individual ERCO products, they can now be found in a comprehensive range of new and existing products. So, ERCO has reinvented a seemingly trivial element of lighting technology.

The Spherolit technology is based on the division of the reflec-tor into individual areas, similar to conventional facetted reflectors. However, these individual areas – we call them spherolites – have a three-dimensional, spherical cur-vature. Due to the individual shap-ing of the spherolites, the reflector characteristic can be controlled over a wide range. The result is spotlight reflectors that have the same basic geometry, i.e. diame-ter, depth and focal point, but dif-ferent light distribution patterns, from narrow spot to wide flood. All these characteristics share one common factor – producing a light quality of the highest standard. The beams are exceptionally uni-form, without striations and have a neat, slightly soft edge – and that in connection with a suitably high light output ratio.

Spherolit reflectors are press-formed of aluminium and mirror-finish anodised. The manufac-turing process from the complex calculation and computer simu-lation to the manufacture of pre-cision tools and the production occurs within ERCO, which con-firms our claim to leadership in reflector technology.

ERCO Spherolit reflectors are easily recognised by the bright, attractive appear-ance of the indi-vidual convex spherolites.

Not until the availability of effective compu-ter simulations has it become possible to cal-culate the com-plex shapes of Spherolit reflec-tors efficiently.

“tune the light”: changing reflec-tors without using tools allows spotlights with Spherolit tech-nology to be

quickly and flex-ibly adapted to new lighting concepts.


Spherolit reflectors: spotlight characteristics

The reflectors of spotlights with Spherolit tech-nology can be exchanged with-out tools in next to no time. The reflectors are available in dif-ferent character-istics. Each reflec-tor is supplied with 3 retaining springs and the safety glass.

Narrow spotTo accentuate smaller objects with high lumi-nance or to cover considerable dis-

tances between luminaire and object. Beam angle < 10°.

SpotThe standard characteristic to accentuate all kinds of objects, specifically to

model the three-dimensional shape. Beam angle 10°-20°.

FloodFor efficient accent light on larger objects or for wider spread lighting of areas

of rooms. Beam angle 25°-30°.

Wide floodTo provide flex-ible floodlight-ing of surfaces and room areas, specifically for

the presenta-tion of merchan-dise. Beam angle > 45°.


Spherolit reflectors: wallwashing

Lens wallwasherThe scoop-shaped wall washer attach-ment is a charac-teristic feature of the classic lens wallwasher tech-nology.

Providing four different spotlight characteristics for one and the same basic reflector shape does not, by any means, exhaust the Spherolit principle. After exten-sive experiments with virtual and real reflector prototypes, ERCO has now produced an asymmet-rical light distribution which resulted exclusively from the three-dimensional shaping of separate areas of the reflector. Now several spotlight ranges include Spherolit wallwashers, which are specifically designed for applications such as sales areas or for presentation, where they are an interesting alterna-tive to the classic lens wallwasher technology.

In terms of its basic shape, dimensions and focal point, the Spherolit reflector, wallwash, is no different from spotlight reflec-tors, i.e. it can also be replaced by other versions without tools. The reflector surface, however, stands out clearly due to its spe cially shaped spherolites, and a Softec lens replaces the usually clear safety glass. The light distribu - tion of the Spherolit wallwasher is designed so that a focal empha-sis is placed on the upper third of the wall, while providing general illumination of high uniformity. The new wallwasher technology has also resulted in raising light levels over the illuminated area.

For certain applications, however, the classic lens wallwasher tech-nology proves more suitable due to its perfect uniformity across the entire wall – relevant for muse-ums or particular representative areas in architecture. The wall-washer attachment also provides improved shielding against glare. Consequently, both wallwasher technologies are now a compo-nent part of ERCO’s extensive range of lighting equipment for vertical illumination.

The specially shaped spherolites used for wallwash-ing are clearly vis-

ible as a segment in the reflector surface.

Spherolit wallwasherIn terms of its basic dimensions, the innovative Spherolit reflec-tor, wallwash,

does not differ from other spot-light reflectors. A Softec lens replaces the clear safety glass.


Spherolit reflectors: technical background

The optical principle of the Spherolit reflector: Depending on the convex shape used in each individual sub area, the incident light reflected off them is spread accurately. Consequently, the Spherolit reflector, narrow spot, has the flattest spherolites, while the convex shape of the Spherolit reflector, wide flood, is most pro-nounced.

Using complex calculations and computer simulations ERCO’s design engineers created the arrangement and shape of the spherolites so they achieve the intended light distribution pat-tern. Because the beam of the spotlight is actually made up of a multitude of separate beams from the individual sub areas, it is possible to produce excellent uniformity and the defined, yet soft edge of the beam without reducing the brightness of the light. Compared with other meth-ods used to affect the spotlight characteristic, such as Vario reflec-tor technology, attachments or

The development and production of Spherolit reflec-tors requires spe-cial know-how, especially in the area of computer calculation and simulation. The complex tool shapes can only be realised by

using highly developed CAD/CAM systems – with tolerances in the range of 1/1000mm.

spread lenses, the Spherolit reflec-tors can be replaced without tools and result in an optimum light output ratio.

Based on decades of experience in reflector produc-tion, ERCO can now fully imple-ment this preci-sion in its produc-tion processes.

Emanon

Many methods and effects that are used in stage lighting and then applied to shops and shop windows, presentations or trade fair stands eventually now find their way into architecture. The time was right to develop a new range of spotlights from scratch for this area of application – a system which would consolidate the progress of lighting technology over the past few years and which creative designers could use effortlessly to implement the principle of “tune the light“. Lighting equipment which would enable the creation of scenographic effects – a familiar aspect in stage shows and at events – even for continuous, dayby day operation. This new range of spotlights – Emanon consists of a striking, integrative housing design for highly differentiated lighting equipment: from standards including spotlights for lowvoltage halogen or HIT lamps to ERCO specialities such as LED varychrome spotlights or technical innovations such as the DALIcontrolled Goborotator.

The innovations incorporated in the Emanon range include the Spherolit reflectors, which are available with four spotlight beam angles, from narrow spot to wide flood, and wallwasher. In addition to a superior quality of light, they provide the option of replacing the exchangeable reflectors in next to no time to change the

light distribution. For vertical illumination, the range alternatively provides classic lens wallwashers. In terms of heat management, this range also follows a new path: the thermally stressed components such as lamp, lampholder and reflector are installed in a cylindrical metal carrier with controlled ventilation which is situated between the highquality plastic shells of the spotlight housing. The flat part of the housing provides a thermally separated space for the electronic or DALIcompatible control gear. Its dimpled surface identifies a gripping zone to adjust the luminaires during operation.

In a class of their own are the projection spotlights, specifically those with digitally controlled Goborotator. There are two types of optical projection system, differentiated by their light distribution patterns. Both types of system are also available as Goborotator, which projects two independently rotating gobos to produce fascinating, dynamic lighting effects.

The housing itself is a handle with highly tactile recesses. The spotlight can be adjusted to illuminate the required scenery. Emanon challenges the user’s creativity, encourages spontaneous and insouciant handling – a fundamentally different user experience from previous spotlight luminaires.”

www.fuseproject.com

Emanon designDesigner Yves Béhar says of the concept devised by fuseproject for the Emanon range of spotlights:

“Our aim for Emanon was to come up with a design that would combine visual clarity with new forms of expression: the lighting technology and the volume of the control gear join to produce a flowing shape by arranging them next to each other and uniting them through a bandlike surface. The band appears like a mantle and has strong, yet unobtrusive symbolism: the luminaire naturally merging with the ceiling and its surroundings. The lightweight, slimline track fixture penetrates this mantle like a pendulum at the luminaire’s centre of gravity without compromising the flowing shape.

Emanon demonstrates the intelligence which characterises it by subtle design details which, rather than intimidate the user, encourage creativity. At once sensual and metaphorical, Emanon prompts you to touch and align it: the spotlight has a similar feel to that of a camera and allows the user to manage light intuitively.

Designer Yves Béhar used a structured surface to indicate the handling zones on the spotlight. The heat generated by the lamp is dissipated through the ventilation grille on the back.

Emanon: system design

Unmistakably, the different Emanon lighting tools form a system with common design features. This makes it possible in an architectural situation to produce differentiated scenographic lighting concepts with a uniform appearance of the luminaires. The spotlights use the whole spectrum of ERCO spot light accessories, such as colour and conversion filters or anti dazzle rings.

Spherolit reflectorsThe Emanon spotlights all make use of the advantages of the innovative Spherolit reflectors: a superior quality of light and flexibility through the option to exchange the reflectors quickly. The reflectors can be replaced without tools and are available with four spotlight beam angles and as Spherolit reflector, wallwash.

Emanon Goborotator

ERCO offers a selec tion of gobos and structured glasses with abstract structures as accessories. Since the gobos have standard dimensions,

The Light Studio software provides a tool that allows the control of all Goborotator functions via Light System DALI.

In the Emanon range, the projection spotlights with Goborotator are an innovative highlight. Through the use of independently controllable rotating gobos, the projection effects created can be fascinating. The character of these projections can range from slow moving, subtly atmospheric effects to stimulating, highly dynamic focal points. The Goborotator can be used with two metal or glass gobos, but also with colour filters or structured glasses – thus, there is now virtually no limit to the imagination.

The direction and speed of rotation are controlled using either the rotary switch directly on the spotlight or via the ERCO Light System DALI and its integrated Light Studio software, which provides a convenient tool for the operation of the Goborotator. Lownoise toothed belt drives, elastic motor bearings, longlife lamps, and a fanless, thermally efficient design ensure reliable continuous operation in architecture.

a wide variety of suitable gobos are also available from other accessory suppliers.

Cantax

The new Cantax range of spotlights clearly demonstrates how design and innovation can help in an aesthetic way to make technical equipment simpler and clearer, instead of increasingly complicated. Based on ERCO’s latest developments in lighting technology, the Cantax range is a logically structured system which provides a professional quality of light in shops, galleries, restaurants or residential areas, while making a striking, highly contemporary design statement with a shape made up of basic geometric forms.

As with Emanon spotlights, ERCO has provided Cantax with the new Spherolit reflectors, which are available in four light distribution patterns, from narrow spot to wide flood, and as a Spherolit wallwasher. In addition to a superior quality of light, they provide the option of replacing the interchangeable reflectors in next to no time to change the light distribution. When using an appropriate wallwash version of the Spherolit reflector, the light distribution can even be changed to that of a wallwasher without altering the outer appearance of the spotlight. Alternatively, Cantax is also available with the classic lens wallwasher technology for vertical illumination. Naturally, the Cantax range with its spotlights, wallwashers and acces

sories also comprises exclusive ERCO technologies such as DALIcompatible Light Clients or the varychrome spotlight with colour compensating LED technology. The housing and the bracket on one side with concealed cables are of cast aluminium with black or white powdercoating.

Design is about creating a pleas ant harmony between man, his objects and the environ ment. With the evolution of technol ogy, our demand for comfort and convenience keeps increas ing so that continual efforts are required to maintain this process of coordi nation and harmonisation. Focusing on design quality does not mean keeping to one lifestyle or one technology. Rather, we must never stop considering new solutions so that the necessary, constant change proves a pleas ant experience.”

www.naotofukasawa.com

Cantax designDesigner Naoto Fukasawa says of his concept for the Cantax range of spotlights:

“This lighting tool lights up walls and surfaces. It connects the round shape of the beam with the square shapes of the illuminated surfaces. Rather than being without shape or form, the light is directed – as visualised by the design of the spotlights. Architecture with its right angles calls for rectangular light sources. Consequently, we have given Cantax the basic shape of a pure, flat cuboid to represent this connection. All we have done is add simple, universal hinge joints and then combine these elements very carefully to produce a fully coher ent, uncompromising shape, yet one which integrates harmoniously with its environment.

It may be possible one day to control the shape of light fully like a data projection. Light will become digitalised information; light will provide intelligent functions. The use of light will develop into a software technology, while the housings and the lighting technology will rise to ever higher standards of quality to adapt to their environment and tasks.


Cantax: system design

Spherolit reflectorsThe Cantax spotlights universally use the advantages of the innovative Spherolit reflectors: a superior quality of light and flexible use thanks to the option of exchanging the reflectors in next to no time. The reflectors can be replaced without tools and are available with 4 spotlight characteristics and as a Spherolit reflector, wallwash.

The Cantax LED varychrome spotlight comprises the exclusive ERCO colour compensation technology and can be conveniently controlled via Light System DALI and the Light Studio software.

The specially designed joints of Cantax guarantee lasting precision, effortless alignment and a secure fit. The end positions are defined by stops.

Light System DALI

The Light Sequencer introduces two new lists: the sequence list, which contains the defined sequences, and a work list, which specifies the scenes included

From the Light Studio scene list, the user selects the scenes to be combined into a sequence.

Light SequencerThe Light Sequencer is a further module added to the Light Studio software which provides new functions and considerably increases the possibilities of using Light Studio DALI for scenographic concepts. Dynamic progressions and timer functions were already available as facilities to set light in motion. The Light Sequencer is a tool used to define, name, store and edit sequences of light scenes in a timed progression and to recall them through program control.

GoborotatorParticularly convenient tools for using complex, digitally controlled lighting equipment are one of the main advantages of Light System DALI and Light Studio. Even for the new Goborotator luminaires, Light Studio provides a software tool which opens up the whole range of creative possibilities and makes them usable.

ERCO Light StudioLight Studio is the integrated software for the

ERCO Light System DALI. It is used for setting up light scenes and for other, more complex operating procedures. To increase convenience and to provide new functions or luminaire features, the Light Studio is regularly updated. Further information:

www.erco.com/lightstudio

The Light Sequencer uses the familiar elements of the Light Studio user interface, such as the scene list, to make the new functions intuitively accessible to the user.

The direction of rotation of each gobo can be set individually.

The interaction of control software, control hardware and addressable luminaires in ERCO’s Light System DALI has opened up new dimensions of scenographic design possibilities for lighting users. Following its principle of “tune the light“, ERCO consistently continues to pursue this concept by steadily increasing its range of Light Clients, the DALIcompatible luminaires from ERCO – but also by continuously further developing the hardware and software functions of Light System DALI itself and improving its userfriendliness.

in the current sequence. The actions and fading times for each scene can be set individually.


Light System DALI

Day situation: The users in a building select individual light scenes based on the ambient lighting.

Digital inputsThe redesigned digital inputs of the ERCO Light Server now facilitate the connection of a wide range of alternative digital input devices beyond simple push buttons. Obvious application scenarios include the recall of defined scenes using movement sensors or twilight switches. Furthermore, a radio receiver module can be used to integrate batteryfree remote controls or radio wall switches as operating elements with minimal installation requirement into a Light System DALI.

Night situation: When reaching a specified switching threshold, a twilight switch activates a special light scene to produce a defined nighttime appear ance of the building.

Typical application of movement or presence sensors: sensitive exhibits in a gallery are only illuminated when visitors enter the room.

max. of 4 inputs

The radio pushbutton module allows the control of Light System DALI (scene selection, master dimming) using batteryless 4channel remote controls or 4channel wall transmitters.


Tesis focal wallwasherHighly efficient wallwashing with a focal point approx. at eye level. Lamp cover

Wallwashing out of the ground

In a qualitative, perception oriented lighting design, verti cal illuminances play a major role. ERCO meets this requirement by providing an exceptionally wide range of appropriate lighting equipment with a wide beam, asymmetrical light distribution. Today, it includes not only wallwashers for recessed ceiling instal lation or for track mounting, but also luminaires for recessed floor mounting both indoors and outdoors, which provide vertical illumination in different ways to suit the situation.

Nadir Flat, widespread beam for grazing light effects, mounted close to the wall.

Outdoor areaIn the outdoor area, highquality wallwashing is useful, for example, for the uniform illumination of facades or walls. Recessed floor luminaires are a solution, which integrates particularly discreetly with the architectural environment. Depending on the requirements, different technologies can be used to produce diverse results. The Tesis range includes three different types of wallwasher. Their properties are shown in the following illustrations.

Indoor areaIn indoor areas, wallwashing is usually provided from the ceiling. The role of recessed floor luminaires is more one of producing effect lighting, as the unusual direc tion of their light attracts attention. The Nadir range of recessed floor luminaires for indoor areas now includes a special grazing light wallwasher as lighting tool for vertical illumination, this is mounted close to the wall to meet the requirements of reallife situations. The designer has the choice between rhythmic wall illumination due to the intersecting beams of directional luminaires or a uniform grazing light that underlines the structure and material of the wall.

as diffuser with clearly perceptible luminance.

Tesis lens wallwasherWallwashing that meets the highest standards of uniformity, with round or square

front lens. Darklight reflector, 40° cutoff angle.

Tesis wallwasherThe front lens above the mounting plane ensures that the beam meets the surface very low, right

from the edge of the floor, to ensure optimum glare protection. Maximum uniformity.


Tesis IP68

Tesis is the wellestablished range of recessed floor luminaires in protection mode IP68 for universal use in outdoor areas. The versions with square front lens in the Tesis range have now been completely redeveloped. In this shape, which designers prefer in specific architectural situations not least for aesthetic reasons, the Tesis recessed luminaires are available as directional luminaires, as LED varychrome recessed floor luminaires, and in various wallwasher characteristics. The lamps predominantly used include metal halide lamps in different wattages, which have a high energy efficiency and long life and thus ensure economic operation.

The Tesis lens wallwashers, which are available with both round and square front lens, are supplemented by a further two types of wallwasher which, for design reasons, are reserved to the new, square version: firstly, the Tesis focal wallwasher with a focal point of the light in the lower third of the wall, and secondly, the Tesis wallwasher with front lens above the mounting plane.

The additions to the Tesis range with square recessed floor lumi naires are complete redevel opments with their own charac teristics profile.

A separate IP68 control gear allows the rational connection of recessed

floor lumi naires includ ing throughwiring.

Nadir IP67

Since the unusual direction of their light attracts attention, lighting designers like to use recessed floor luminaires even in indoor areas. However, recessed floor installation is usually more complex than mounting the luminaires to or in the ceiling. Consequently, when the Nadir recessed floor luminaires for indoors were completely redeveloped, ERCO focused its efforts not only on the usual sophisticated lighting technology but also directed attention to a safe and simple mounting solution with superior finish.

The heightadjustable frame of the recessed floor housing now compensates for dimensional tolerances between floor slab and finished floor. The shallow recess depth of 100mm makes the luminaires suitable for many applications in architecture. The Nadir can even be mounted in floating floor screed without forming sound bridges. The front covers are round or square; particular highlights in the range include luminaires with special characteristics such as the grazing light wallwashers or with innovative lamps such as LEDs.

The elegant, edgeless mounting detail makes the Nadir recessed floor luminaires an adequate design element

– even in floors made of highquality material.

As is the case with a wide range of ERCO lighting equipment, the Nadir now also allows alterna tive mounting options without special accessories: depend ing on the position of the cover frame, either edgeless flush floor mounting or overlapping.

For a flush surface and to compensate dimensional tolerances, the position of the luminaires can be pre cisely

adjusted during mounting using height adjust ment screws.

Kubus

The Kubus facade luminaires can be mounted to emit their light either upwards or downwards.

Using wellintegrated lighting technology, the Kubus range of luminaires carries the ERCO principle of “Light, not luminaires” to positive extremes – less luminaire, after all, is hardly conceivable. The miniaturised light sources, inconspicuous, ultracompact cuboids with robust housings made of cast aluminium, are completely immaterial compared to their striking lighting effect as floor washlights or facade luminaires.

Their high energy efficiency and extended maintenance cycles are due to the modern metal halide lamps and LEDs. Two housing sizes of the Kubus completely exhaust the packing density for the appro priate light source: a line for the metal halide lamp HITCE 20W is available for enormous output from a compact housing; as an absolutely minimised solution, Kubus is available with highpower LEDs for even smaller housing dimensions. Despite all the integration, the Kubus luminaires are provided with efficient, innovative lighting technology which allows interesting areas of application. And each individual Kubus model creates a particular lighting effect.

So, for example, the Kubus facade luminaire with LEDs is used to produce a delightful grazing light effect, while the HIT version of the facade luminaire features distinctly asymmetrical, flowing characteristics. The floor wash

lights with LED provide a choice between conventional, extensive light distribution and a more widespread version that follows the path. Additional mounting options arise from a recessed wall housing and an upright supporting pole, which can be used to transform the Kubus into an elegant bollard luminaire. One aspect that holds true for all Kubus luminaires is that their visual comfort meets the highest standards.

Small luminaire, big effect: in the outdoor area, the lighting effects of Kubus are often enough to ensure good orientation and spatial perception.


Kubus

Highpower LEDs as light sources need special lighting systems consisting of reflectors and lenses to be used effectively for illumination. These systems made of highquality optical materials are developed and produced by ERCO

The Kubus can be mounted to suit any situation using the ERCO range of accessories: a mounting plate, an upright supporting pole, a base, and a concrete anchor.

The floor washlights are also suitable for flush wall mounting using the recessed housing or mounting plate available as accessories.

itself. LEDs are energyefficient and practically maintenancefree – a key benefit particularly in the outdoor area.

For the LED floor washlights, the choice includes a conventional, extensive light distribution and a more wide

spread version which follows the path.

Depending on the required characteristics, there are various mounting alternatives. All Kubus luminaires can be used on walls as surfacemounted versions.

Kubus floor washlights can also be mounted on an upright supporting pole available as an accessory and freely positioned in an area for use as a bollard luminaire.

The cables can be routed safely in the upright supporting poles available as mounting accessories.

Midipoll

The Midipoll bollard luminaire provides architects, lighting and landscape designers with a tool which competently performs not one but several tasks: Midipoll is not only an efficient instrument for outdoor area lighting, but itself also serves as an unobtru-sive, space-dividing element – both during the day and at night. The light beam emitted from the abso lutely glare-free, shielded front lens illuminates the sur-rounding area while also grazing the elegant, cross-shaped profile to produce a discreet luminance on the bollard itself.

Midipoll is ideal for a variety of applications: to reveal open areas, but also to follow path -ways or accentuate focal points. Thanks to its rational design and the latest lighting technology, Midipoll combines cost-effective procurement and operation with ERCO’s high standard of sturdi-ness, design and lighting quality. A significant level of energy effi-ciency and long maintenance cycles are ensured by innovative light sources such as metal halide lamps and LEDs. Using the Dark Sky technology, Midipoll prevents spill light above the horizon line. Exclusive lighting elements such as the complex prism lens of the LED models made of high-quality polycarbonate are developed and produced entirely by ERCO – from the computer calculation to preci-sion tool manufacture to the pro-

duction in ERCO’s own injection moulding facility.

The housing and profile are both of cast aluminium with the tried and tested multi-layer pow-der coating that enables them to withstand any weather condition for many years. Depending on the ground, the appropriate mounting accessories ensure rational instal-lation options.

The cover glass of the bollard luminaire is fully concealed from view. A lens spreads the light onto the ground

but also illumi-nates the cross-shaped alumin-ium profile to provide a discreet focal point.


Midipoll

Due to its quar-tered light emis-sion, the Midipoll has a double axi-ally symmetrical, rather than an absolutely round, light distribution.

Midipoll with LED module 4x2.5W is available in the light colours day-light white and warm white.

The models for HIT lamps are available as 20W or 35W version and provide a choice of two heights.

Midipoll for HIT lamps feature an optimised glass flood lens as front cover.

The Midipoll bol-lard luminaire for LEDs uses a recal-culated prism lens made of plastic to spread the light of the highpower LEDs over a wide area.

Midipoll provides various mounting options: concrete anchor, ground socket or mount-ing plate. The wall plate enables rational through-wiring.

Lightmark floor washlights

The Lightmark range consists of a diverse system of outdoor lumi-naires with different flood light distributions and cuboid forms to integrate precisely and inconspic-uously into architecture as well as square and landscape design. In addition to the bollard luminaires and facade luminaires already available, ERCO now also offers Lightmark luminaires for wall mounting. These make it possi-ble for lighting concepts for open areas and pathways to change seamlessly from free-standing bollards to floor washlights inte-grated flush in walls.

In terms of lighting technology, the Lightmark floor washlights for wall mounting are similar to bol-lard luminaires: they are fitted with highly efficient light sources such as metal halide lamps, low-voltage halogen lamps or compact fluores-cent lamps and feature different light distribution patterns. Glare protection and visual comfort are of the highest standard, while the Dark Sky technology prevents any spill light above the horizon line.

The mount-ing accessories include a frame for surface mounting and a concrete housing.

The luminaires for recessed wall installation com-plement the estab-lished range of Lightmark bollard luminaires for open area lighting.

Floor washlights

Floor washlights are used to provide discreet and safe lighting for traffic areas, hallways and stairs. Due to its luminance, the new satin matt reflector surface stands out as an architectural element that is both scratchresistant and easy to clean.

The mounting frame is available with two optional trim details for mounting in drywall partitions: optionally with cover edge or flush mounted.

The complete redevelopment of the ERCO range of floor washlights focused on two aspects: the integration of modern light sources such as LEDs and more flexibility in terms of trim detail design. In addition, ERCO’s design engineers devised reflectors with a new surface that proves particularly scratchresistant and easy to clean. Apart from its excellent reflection capacities, the satin matt silver coating ensures that the discreet luminance of the reflector surface provides the desired effect and turns the floor washlights into an architectural element.

The light sources themselves are fully concealed from view and protected against the ingress of dust and dirt by using a Softec lens as safety glass. Lowmaintenance light sources such as metal halide lamps or maintenancefree LED lamps underline the fact that the ERCO floor washlights are truly efficient and economical lighting tools suitable for problem free operation over long periods of time.

Compact HIT represents an entirely new approach to downlight lighting and is made possi ble only by the exclusive ERCO innovation of Spherolit reflectors. In order to achieve a revolutionary combination of light efficiency, compact recessing dimensions, visual comfort, and costeffectiveness, the Compact HIT follows an alternative path to Darklight technology, a characteristic of the remaining ERCO range of downlights: the exclusive use of energyefficient metal halide lamps with a connected load of 20W to 70W – naturally with electronic control gear – ensures high luminances of the wide beams emitted by Spherolit reflectors with a wide flood light distribution. An antidazzle cap with mirrorfinish exterior effectively shields the lamp. The attractive, almost magical appearance of Compact HIT in the ceiling is defined by bright reflections and the nonreflecting safety glass, which makes it ideal for prestigious rooms in the retail sector or in administrative buildings.

Easy mounting and the compact dimensions of Compact HIT are aspects which can have a positive effect on the overall costeffec tiveness of a building project.

Compar

The development of the Compar recessed spotlights was based to a degree on the requirements of the retail sector in the area of shop lighting. The Compar range provides a combination of innovative lighting technology, rational detail solutions and flexible system design. As a result, all the spotlights have Spherolit reflectors for a superior quality of light. The light distribution patterns include the rotationally symmetrical narrow spot, spot, flood and wide flood reflectors and the Spherolit reflector, wallwash, for asymmetrical light distribution. New in the ERCO Program is the Compar recessed spotlight with display lens: depending on the version with flood or spot reflector, this lighting tool produces an ovalshaped beam of different dimensions and is suitable for the highly efficient illumination of product presentations with wide luminaire spacing. Fitted with economical, longlife lamps, the luminaires are available for either HIT or HST.

The aluminium mounting ring can be mounted in false ceilings without tools by using three bracing springs. The spotlights can be tilted up to 30° and rotated through 360°.

The new display lens produces a brilliant, precise, horizontally spread beam of light. In contrast to the sculpture lens, its only structuring are the grooves for light distribution, and it features an antidazzle cap for defined visual comfort.

Designed for use in the retail sector, Compar is also available for HST 50/100W lamps to highlight specific types of products optimally with warm light tones.

Compar forms a system of recessed ceiling spotlights with an as yet unparalleled variety of seven different light distribution patterns. Producing a uniform, aesthetic appearance in the ceiling, the Compar can be used effectively for complex lighting tasks. Different spotlight characteristics in Spherolit technology ensure flexibility to produce extraordinary highlights, while the Spherolit wallwasher emphasises the vertical room surfaces. The spotlights with display lens are particularly suitable for the efficient illumination of product presentations in a linear arrangement, such as tables and shelves. The selection of light sources – both metal halide lamps and highpressure sodium vapour lamps – and wattages provide additional design possibilities.

The beam angles vary depending on whether the display lens is combined with a spot or a flood reflector.

The powerful, bright light of the HIT lamps makes fresh products in self service areas appear natural and appetising.

Efficient visual comfort

Lighting requires energy. Anyone involved in any aspect of lighting – from the manufacturer to the designer and the user – should use the limited resources responsibly. Even under the pressure of rising energy prices, architectural lighting has made enormous progress over the past few years and has already achieved a significant level of efficiency. The efforts in this area must not be reduced – on the other hand, energy efficiency should not be sought at any price, especially not at the expense of the quality of light. ERCO sees further potential for the effective use of our resources particularly in the following areas:

Effective lighting technologyEfficient, precise optical systems lower the energy requirement for lighting. Innovations such as the ERCO Spherolit reflectors combine a high light output ratio with visual comfort. Only tools which give the user complete control of the light, allow effective planning and design.

Efficient lampsERCO provides an exceptionally wide range of products for use with the economical and longlasting metal halide lamps, but also for compact fluorescent lamps. Furthermore, ERCO is significantly involved in the development of LED lighting equipment and thus practically utilises the rapid progress in terms of the luminous efficacy of LEDs.

Light output ratioThe table shows the average light output ratios of today’s lamp types. The differences speak for themselves –

nevertheless, a qualitative lighting design should never be based solely on the light output ratio as the only criterion for lamp selection.

Vertical lightingWallwashing is one example of how perceptionoriented lighting design with a lower connected load can provide a brighter impression of the room.

Scenic lightingLight scenes recalled only where required provide enormous energy savings potential – whether manually controlled or automated by timer or sensors.

Accent lightingQualitative lighting design concentrates on the essentials in architecture and thus produces many possibilities to lower energy consumption.

Thermal managementIn practice, all artificial light sources generate excess heat. As part of ERCO’s resourceconscious thinking, the luminaires are designed so as to allow a construc tive dissipation of this heat to ensure that the lamps and heatsensitive electronic components such as LEDs or control gear can work to capacity throughout their entire life.

Modern control gearElectronic control gear not only ensures greater comfort than conventional control gear, it is also a lowerloss, more compact version and protects the lamps. On the whole, it is a far more resourcesaving option. Incidentally, ERCO exclu sively uses leadfree soldered electronic components.

Intelligent lighting controlDALI technology from ERCO makes scenic lighting uncomplicated and economical. Light scenes to suit each situation are selected and controlled by the user and together with automated light management involving sensor systems and timer programs provide enormous potential savings.

Qualitative lighting designCareful, perceptionoriented lighting design uses light specifically where it meets the requirements of the user: vertical lighting, for example, provides a subjectively high impression of brightness in a room. In the same manner, regulated accent lighting is usually more effective than the provision of a blanket high level of lighting.


Illumination of vertical surfaces

Light can be used to define and continually reinterpret spaces. Looking at walls and other vertical surfaces, it is clear that these are crucial for the perception of architecture: illuminated walls allow us to perceive the shape and dimensions of a room. When illuminated in perfect uniformity, the wall appears light, almost intangible. Objects such as photos, posters or paintings can be viewed in optimal conditions. Vertical illumination creates a subjective impression of significant brightness in the room and can contribute to energy saving. The lighting equipment used for this type of lighting is called wallwashers. ERCO has developed and perfected these special luminaires for decades. The result is a range of tools for the illumination of vertical surfaces which is as yet unparallaled in terms of its extent and distinction. The different types of wallwasher and their typical applications are presented on the following pages.

Wallwashing and accent lightingWide, vertical illumination as background, together with accentuating, directed illumination in the foreground form a classic concept for highlighting objects in the room.

Successful wallwasher illumination can be so subtle that it is hardly perceived as such, but rather as a pleasant level of brightness in the room. The diffuse light reflected on the wall contributes to the ambient lighting.

Wallwashing: play of brilliantsVertical surfaces in the room are transformed by appropriate lighting equipment to become screens used for dynamic lighting effects. Plays of colours or projections become an attractive eyecatcher.


The applications illustrated describe a widespread, uniform wall illumination with different optical systems and a wide range of lamps. To ensure optimal uniformity and high illuminances, the following is recommended:Wall height up to 3.0m 4.0mOffset from wall 1.0m 1.5mWhen the wallwashers are arranged in a row, the luminaire spacing should be the same as the offset from the wall. With some luminaires, this can be up to 1.5 times the offset from the wall. In addition, the wall and spacing distances documented in the publications provide information on optimal arrangements and the expected illuminances.

Lens wallwashers The reflector technology used here is suitable for the highest museum quality. Lens wallwashers illuminate walls from the ceiling to the floor. The light is spread in longitudinal direction by special lenses. Reflectors distribute the luminous flux evenly on the wall and shield the lens wallwashers to prevent glare in the room. The wallwashers illustrated are operated on tracks.

WashlightsAs recessed ceiling luminaires, these wallwashers are no different to downlights. The internal reflector segment distributes the light uniformly on the wall surface, while the downlight effect is maintained. Washlights are available for lowvoltage halogen lamps, tungsten halogen lamps, highpressure discharge lamps, and compact fluorescent lamps.


Lens wallwashersSpecial lens wallwasher systems ensure a uniform illumination of the wall. The light is spread by lenses, while the reflectors direct it onto the wall. The Darklight reflectors visible from below are glarefree. Wallwashers with LED varychrome also produce scenic effects on vertical surfaces.

Lens wallwashersThese lens wallwashers distinguish themselves by their high visual comfort. Darklight reflectors with a cutoff angle of 40° let the luminaires appear dark. Only the cover glass is visible above the cutoff angle. A wallwasher lens system distributes the luminous flux on the wall to provide an illuminance distribution of the highest level of uniformity.



Double focus wallwashersThis type of wall illumination provides the highest level of uniformity for vertical illuminances. The effect of these wallwashers is achieved using special, internal wallwasher reflec tors. Due to the total shielding of the lamp, the Darklight reflector produces an improved optical effect. There is no spill light in areas of the room near to the walls.

Focal wallwashersThe use of metal halide lamps in Lightscan wallwashers makes them particularly suitable for the general lighting of walls in shops and presentational area. They produce a focal emphasis in the upper third of the illuminated area, e.g. for the illumination of displays above shelves.

Focal wallwashersA diffuser and a wallwasher reflector distribute the light of Tesis on a façade in a way that produces a visible focal emphasis at approx. 1/3 of the height. The lens below the safety glass produces a wide beam and distributes the luminous flux uniformly on the cover glass. This means that the luminaire is visible even when viewed from shallow angles.

Wallwashers With Paratec wallwashers, part of the luminaire projects from the ceiling. The beam intersects with the wall directly in the upper corner, while the illuminated surface remains practically invisible to the viewer. A special wallwasher reflector provides the highest level of uniformity. These wallwashers combine a high degree of visual comfort with maximum efficiency.

Wallwashers Wallwashers in the Optec range are track mounted and provide an ideal, uniform illuminance distribution from ceiling to floor. The area in front of the wall is also illuminated. The range comprises various types of luminaires for almost all lamps.


Wallwashers Designed for highpressure discharge lamps and compact fluorescent lamps, they are available especially for wall illumination and shop lighting in sales rooms and shops. On these wallwashers, the peak intensity is emitted at approx. 30° and produces the vertical illuminances important for the required spatial effect.


Wallwashers With Tesis wallwashers, part of the luminaire is above the mounting plane. Thus, the luminaire cannot be walked on or rolled over by vehicles. The beam intersects with the wall directly above the mounting plane. The illuminated surface remains practically invisible to the viewer. A special wallwasher reflector and a Softec lens provide the highest level of uniformity.

Wallwashers Parscoop wallwashers and floodlights are provided with asymmetrical beam reflectors. These reflectors are designed so that the light distribution is ideal for uniform facade lighting. In addition to the main mounting option on the ceiling or the floor to illuminate facades, they can also be mounted on walls to provide uniform ceiling illumination.

Wallwashers The special reflector technology of TFL wallwashers for fluorescent lamps provides a uniform and even wall illumination, especially in museums. The DALIcompatible luminaires have digitally addressable control gear which allow each luminaire to be addressed individually. TFL wallwashers can also be mounted as a continuous arrangement.

The uniform light distribution from ceiling to floor highlights the wall as a whole and makes the room appear more spacious.



Spherolit wallwashers These wallwashers use Spherolit reflectors, wallwash. In these reflectors, the individual spherolites are arranged so as to produce an asymmetrical light distribution. As opposed to lens wallwashers, Spherolit wallwashers can also be positioned in high rooms or closer to the wall. With a focal emphasis on the upper half of the wall, they are ideal for the illumination of vertical surfaces in shops.

Grazing light wallwashers These types of luminaire produce grazing light and can be positioned at close distance to the wall. Sculpture lenses spread the width of the beam along one plane, while maintaining a narrow beam light distribution on the other. In the round and square Nadir recessed floor luminaires, the lamps can be tilted and rotated by +/ 5° for adjustment.

Facade luminairesFocalflood facade luminaires are available for highperformance LEDs. The luminaire’s lens system has been optimised so that a narrow beam light distribution gives an efficient grazing light on the wall surface. In the other direction, a wide light distribution is produced. The DALIcompatible varychrome version can be controlled via the ERCO Light System DALI.

Facade floodlights Facade floodlights are fitted with asymmetrical reflectorlens systems. They are effectively free of spill light. The light distributions are designed for even wall illumination or surfaces without perceptible edges to the beam.

Light System DALI

The ERCO Light System DALI bringsan innovative approach to light-ing control: intelligently appliedDALI (Digital Addressable Light-ing Interface) technology for indi-vidually addressable luminaires,combined with the ERCO LightStudio software, form an integ-rated system for scenographiclighting. Together with the com-prehensive range of DALI-compat-ible ERCO luminaires for the indoorand outdoor area and the ERCODALI track, this enables sceno-graphic lighting effects such ascoloured light, dynamic progres-sions, light scenes, timer functionsand light sequences to be used inarchitecture more simply and eco-nomically than ever before.

New standards in terms of easeof operation, range of functionsand creative control are set by theconsistent integration of softwareand hardware. For example, col-our selection for DALI-compat-ible varychrome luminaires in theERCO Light Studio are determ-ined clearly and interactively at theclick of a mouse. The bus techno-logy and the switch and dimmingfunctions integrated into the con-trol gear make a permanent wir-ing of individual circuits and theinstallation of vast dimmer banksin switch cabinets unnecessary.Once a system is activated, theDALI-compatible ERCO luminaires -known as Light Clients - are auto-matically recognised by the LightServer due to the factory-set cod-

ing of the luminaire’s DALI controlgear and clearly displayed in thesoftware. DALI-compatible lumin-aires of other manufacturers canalso be integrated into Light Sys-tem DALI and be controlled just aseasily as ERCO Light Clients. TheLight Server 64 for up to 64 DALIaddresses enables the Light Systemto handle many typical lightingcontrol applications, as in multi-functional rooms, shops and shopwindows, restaurants, lobbies orcompany showrooms.

Larger installations with over64 addresses can be created bynetworking up to twelve LightServers via the integrated Ethernetinterfaces. This makes it possible tomanage up to 768 DALI addresses.In order to identify luminaires incomplex rooms with limited visualcontact, each Light Client has anelectronic luminaire ID stored inthe control gear and recordedon a sticker, which is placed ina lighting plan on site. The elec-tronic luminaire ID is automat-ically recognised by the lightingcontrol software. The DALI LightSystem consists of the hardwarecomponents Light Server and LightChanger and the software LightStudio. The Light Server is a DALIcontroller that stores system andscene data and provides the con-trol functions. Day-to-day oper-ation takes place via the compact,wall-mounted ERCO Light Changercontrol panel, via push-buttons orvia remote control. To set up light

scenes and for more complex oper-ations, designers or users can usethe ERCO Light Studio software ona PC connected to the Light Serveror the Light Changer via a USBconnection. The Light Server usesthe DALI protocol to communic-ate with the Light Clients, i.e. theconnected DALI-compatible lumin-aires, via a two-core control line.With DALI track accessories, thewell-established and reliable ERCOtrack is ideal for the operation ofDALI-compatible ERCO spotlightsvia Light System DALI.

System overviewThe diagram shows how the components of the Light System DALI can be combined not only with ERCO Light Clients but also with conventional ERCO lumi-naires, with DALI-compatible luminaires of other manufactures and with additional peripheral devices such as push-buttons. The installation work is signifi-cantly reduced when compared with that of other lighting con-trol technologies: DALI technol-ogy integrates the switching and dimming functions in the lumi-naire or in the control gear, while the 2-core control line connects all participating devices in any topology. The power supply to the luminaires is constant and independent of the DALI wiring.

Light ServerThe Light Server 64+ is a DALI controller that stores system and scene data and provides the con-trol functions. Its compact design gives it great flexibility when choosing a mounting location. The ERCO Light Studio software is included with every Light Server. A PC can be connected via the USB interface. The integral Ether-net interface can be used to net-work several Light Servers.

Light ClientDALI-compatible ERCO luminaires – known as Light Clients – are pre- programmed with a factory-set code of their DALI control gear. This allows them to be auto mati-cally recognised and clearly dis-played by the Light Server and the Light Studio software. The selec-tion of Light Clients cur rently avail-able covers the most impor tant areas of the ERCO product range. In particular, it also includes Vary-chrome luminaires whose colour change function can now be sim-ply and intuitively controlled with unparalleled ease using the Light System DALI.

Light Clients with luminaire IDWhen you can see the luminaires, the mounting locations of Light Clients are identified simply by using the “flash” option in the Light Studio software. However, this is not always possible for larger Light System DALI instal-lations. Now, every Light Client carries an additional sticker with a unique luminaire ID. This indi-vidual luminaire ID allows each Light Client to be identified both during commissioning and in the lighting control software. The sticker can be removed by the installer and transferred to the appropriate place on the reflected ceiling plan drawing to show the mounting location of each Light Client.

Although a Light System DALI may be commis-sioned for use without a PC, only the Light Studio can give design-ers and users full creative control in the sense of “tune the light”. With its easy-to-follow graphic user interface, Light Studio pro-vides many different functions for setting up and document-ing DALI Light Systems and for using them for scenographic and energy-efficient architectural lighting. These functions include such unique features as the auto-matic recognition of DALI-com-patible ERCO luminaires (Light Clients) and the display of these with product names, images and article numbers, or the interac -tive determination of the colour locus of varychrome luminaires. A PC installed with ERCO Light Studio can be connected to the Light Server or the Light Changer via a USB port or to the hub via Ethernet. When connected, the arrangement and current settings of the particular Light System

Light MasterThe primary function of the Light Master

module is to process and control light scenes. The Light Clients of a Light System are displayed as a list and graphically. Their attri-butes, such as dimmer settings or colour locations, can be set interactively, and there are user-friendly tools such as the colour wheel, a colour library and a pro-gression library or dynamic pro-gressions especially for control-ling varychrome luminaires. Light Clients can be grouped together as required and synchronised with each other. Defined settings are saved as a light scene. Up to 1024 light scenes can be created and given plain text names. These are also displayed on the Light Changer.

Light BookThe Light Book is used for the organisation

and spatial structuring of Light Studio projects. Its main func-tion is to create zones and assign Light Clients or Light Changers to zones. It also defines generic Light Clients for luminaires from other manufacturers or custom-built ERCO luminaires and saves the relevant information in the DALI control gear of the Light Clients.

Light TimerThe Timer module allows light scenes to be recalled

at predefined times. The time and calendar functions provide great flexibility for the automation of scenographic lighting, e.g. to set the light scenes to shop-opening times or licensing hours, or to reduce the lighting level during night time.

Light SequencerThe Light Sequencer is a tool designed spe-

cifically for the purpose of defin-ing and storing sequences of light scenes as a timed progression. Compared with the dynamic pro-gression in the Light Master, the Light Sequencer can be used to create a sequence of scenes with-out specifying a definite starting time. This component can then be used for a variety of events with different starting times. The actions and fading times for each scene transition can be set individually.

In 2008, the Light System DALI will be available with new func-tions:1. Connection of a PC to Light Studio via Ethernet2. Connection of up to four switches, movement sensors or twilight switches for each Light Server3. Interface to media technology via Ethernet4. Master dimming5. Configuration of Emanon projection spotlights with Goborotators6. Printout of project data for documentation


ScalabilityDALI protocol limits the number of addresses in a conventional DALI system to 64. ERCO Light System DALI goes beyond this limit with the Light Server 64+, which can be networked with other Light Servers of the same type through an Ethernet inter-face. Installations with over 64 addresses can be created by networking up to twelve Light Server 64+ units via the inte-grated Ethernet interfaces. This allows the management of up to 768 DALI addresses. The num-ber of connectable Light Changers multiplies accordingly.

Integrating sensors and media technologyThe four digital inputs on the Light Server allow an individual configuration of components such as movement sensors or twi-light switches. The Light System DALI can thus interact with sen-sors and automatically recall scenes. The inputs are conven-iently configured using Light Studio. The Ethernet interface enables the user to connect to the media technology or wire-lessly program the Light System DALI using a WLAN router. This simplifies the set-up of the scenes and enables the lighting designer to move around freely

Light System DALI

in the room and check the dif-ferent light settings in the Light Studio.

The battery free wall transmitter with four push-buttons can also be subsequently mounted on any surface since it does not require electrical wiring.

Sensors such as movement sen-sors or twilight switches can be connected to the four digital inputs of the Light Server and configured using the Light Studio software.

The receiver receives the sig-nals sent by the remote control or the wall trans-mitter and passes them on to the Light System DALI installation.

The battery free remote control, for example, is useful in confer-ence rooms for conveniently recalling differ-ent light scenes.

The option of the networkable Light Server 64+ makes the Light System DALI suit-able for extensive systems with dif-ferentiated light-ing concepts and dynamic light.

LON Area Net

ERCO Area Net, the system forlight management and scenicdimming, is a convenient tool fordynamic lighting design. Area Netcan be used to interpret architec-ture to suit different requirements-whether aesthetic or practical, AreaNet can create the optimum light-ing effect for each individual case.Area Net integrates into the net-worked building technology asa modular-based individual sys-tem with decentralised controlpanels which control the light-ing of a whole building and canbe linked up with sensors, otherequipment and data networks. Thesystem components have their ownmicroprocessor with an integratedinterface. Identified by individualaddresses, all com-ponents cancommunicate with one anotherusing a common line, which sim-plifies the installation considerably.The speed and dependability of thebus protocol is ideal for high qual-ity lighting control applications.

Sensors enable the interactionbetween Area Net and its environ-ment. This means that the daylightsensors automatically maintainthe lighting level even with fluc-tuating levels of daylight, savingenergy. In addition, different lightscenes can be recalled to suit theexternal lighting conditions. Theconnections for presence sensorsand switches complete the productrange.

LON Area Net

Input devices Programming, configuration andoperation of Area Net is carriedout via the Control Pad or a Preset.From this point the output mod-ules are addressed. They recall therelevant parameters for the reques-ted light scene from their memorybanks and control the connec-ted circuits as required. Parallel tothe Preset, four programmed lightscenes can be recalled and can beregulated in their total brightnessthrough the master control func-tion via extensions, or via an IRremote control. An IR receiver isintegrated in the Control Pad orthe Preset. Sensors for the indoorand outdoor areas enable auto-matic input for the daylight con-trol. A sequence module is available

to automatically recall light scenesin sequential order.

Output devices Output modules for a maximum of4 or 8 connections are available tocontrol external dimmers or relaysfor luminaires, electric blinds andprojection screens.

Interfaces A PC interface is available to con-nect the Preset to a bus connector.



LON Area Net

Control gear units The supply of power to the Presets,extensions, D/A modules etc. isensured by the control gear units. Ifnecessary, several power packs canbe connected in parallel. Dimmersin leading and trailing edge tech-

nology control ohmic and inductiveloads as well as electronic trans-formers.

Sets The set serves as a lighting controlsystem for one area with 32 lightscenes and 8 circuits. It consistsof a Preset with built-in infraredreceiver, the relevant housing, a

D/A module (as the output device)and the power supply.

Light in the indoor area

Luminaires designed to add scenic lighting to architecture are more accurately described as lighting instruments. They are the result of intense reflection on the issues of lighting engineering. ERCO’s range of indoor luminaires em- braces a wide spectrum of different lighting tools: spotlights and downlights, track, light structures, task lights, directive luminaires, ceiling washlights and floor washlights. The common features that they share are the high quality constructional precision and visual comfort.
