Grasshopper Projectors, floodlights, wallwashers

The Grasshopper range with its versatile mounting possibilities and the lockable hinge is suitable for flexible accent and flood lighting in the outdoor area. The compact design with lamps in the low power rating range is used for such aspects as the illumination of façades, details, objects including company signs or sculptures, plants and trees. Their optical systems feature the innovative Spherolit technology providing the option of narrow spot, spot, flood, wide flood, oval flood or wallwash light distribution. The control gear is separate from the light head and ensures optimal heat management to protect the electronic components.

ERCO Projection: collimating lens Feature

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 created by the 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 light intensity distribution for highlighting objects of all types, especially to accentuate three-dimensional shapes.
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 intensity distribution of the lens wallwasher is designed to provide very good uniformity.

Neutral white and warm white

Binnings

ERCO offers LED luminaires in neutral white or warm white . This allows lighting designers to select the colour of light to suit the material colours 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.
