Optec for 2-circuit track
The key design feature of the Optec spotlight range is the separation of light head and control gear housing. The thermally separated mounting compartment ensures excellent heat management for the electronic control gear of the lamps. Because of the comprehensive system structure with its various lamp options and beam angles, Optec is particularly well suited for lighting sales areas, restaurants or galleries. The relationship between visual comfort and light output ratio is optimized for the wide range of applications of these spotlights. The different characteristics and the robust aluminum luminaire housings have have been proven in many practical applications.

The quality of the optical systems greatly affects the overall efficiency of an LED luminaire. To produce directed light, as occurs in spotlights, ERCO develops their optical projection systems in-house. A collimating lens, as a secondary lens, is the interface between the LED lens on the printed circuit board and the exchangeable Spherolit lenses acting as tertiary lenses. The collimating lens directs the light of the LEDs into a parallel beam in order that the required light distribution can then be formed by a tertiary lens. The principle of total internal reflection in the collimating lens contributes to the high efficiency of the optical system. Decades of experience in injection-moulded polymers ensure the highest quality levels from our in-house production plant.
Characteristics with Spherolit lenses

Narrow spot To accentuate small objects with high light intensity or to cover large distances between luminaire and object. Beam angle < 10°.

Spot
The standard characteristic for accent lighting for objects of all kinds, especially to reveal the three-dimensional shape.
Beam angle: 10° - 20°.

Flood
To efficiently illuminate larger objects or to emphasise spatial zones such as a specific area.
Beam angle
25° - 35°.

Wide flood To give a flexible, flood illumination of surfaces and spatial zones, especially in retail presentation. Beam angle> 45°.

Oval flood The Spherolit lens, oval flood, has an axially symmetrical light intensity distribution, producing an oval beam of about 30° by 90°.

Wallwash The light distribution of the lens wallwasher has been optimized to provide excellent uniformity.
Spectral distribution
Coloured light

The radiation spectrum of warm white LEDs is free of ultraviolet and infrared components and has a reduced blue component. Its relative damage factor for sensitive exhibits is less than for halogen lamps with UV filters, making warm white LEDs recommendable for museum lighting.

The saturated LED lighting colours enable a wide variety of mixed colours within the triangle of red, green and blue. LED modules with additional white LEDs, known as RGBW modules, improve the colour rendition for the colours of light with respect to the Planckian locus.
Neutral white and warm white
Binnings

ERCO offers LED luminaires in neutral white or warm white . This allows lighting designers to select the color of light to suit the material colors and spatial atmosphere or to create cold-warm contrasts.

The LED manufacturing process results in certain variations in the colour loci of LEDs. LEDs are accordingly sorted into so-called "binnings". Uniform lighting quality requires the strict selection of components from defined binnings.
