Grasshopper Projectors, floodlights, wallwashers
The Grasshopper range with its versatile mounting possibilities and the lockable hinge is suitable for flexible accent lighting and floodlighting in the outdoor area. The compact design with low power rating lamps is used, for example, for the lighting of façades, details, objects such as company signs or sculptures, plants and trees. The optical systems feature the innovative Spherolit technology enabling the options 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.

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.
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.
