At the Panticosa resort, Panorama bollard luminaires are architecturally integrated to follow the paving pattern, illuminating up to 6m of the surrounding area in a full circle. The Dark Sky technology protects pedestrians and drivers against glare and prevents the emission of spill light above the horizontal plane.

Perfect for dramatic yet functional outdoor lighting effects: Panorama bollard luminaires can be identified as a lighting source only by an almost magical shimmer at the front lens.

Panticosa Resort: Floating path-way lighting after dark
ERCO presents Panorama bollard luminaires with Dark Sky technology for dramatic outdoor lighting effects
Lüdenscheid, 9 May 2005 - When the sun sets behind the mountains of the Spanish Pyrenees near Huesca, the parkland surrounding the luxurious Panticosa resort begins to fill up with guests enjoying a leisurely night-time stroll. To light their way, Panorama bollard luminaires from ERCO are integrated into the paving pattern of the footpaths and positioned in the flowerbeds. The cone-shaped reflectors with their extremely flat and symmetrical light distribution project their light beams up to 6m into the park and garden areas. The integrated Dark Sky technology protects pedestrians from glare, while at the same time preventing spill light above the horizontal plane and therefore eliminating any light pollution in the night sky. The peripheral aperture, which is enclosed by a massive glass cylinder, creates the illusion of an almost magical shimmering light source that appears to hang suspended in mid-air.
As demonstrated at the Panticosa resort, Panorama bollard luminaires allow architects and lighting designers to use dramatic yet functional lighting effects for open spaces and pathways, both within an architectural context and in urban areas or parks. The innovative lighting technology of these luminaires is perfectly matched by their stunning exterior. At the Frankfurt trade fair, the elegantly minimalist design with its slim cylindrical form was awarded the "Design Plus" prize.
With a diameter of 132mm and a height of 800mm, Panorama bollard luminaires are suitable for 50W low-voltage halogen lamps or 35W metal halide lamps. The versions with a diameter of 205mm and a height of either 450mm or 900mm are available with 100W low-voltage halogen lamps or metal halide lamps of 35W or 70W. Transformers or control gear and ECGs are fitted inside the bollard. Surfaces with an anti-soiling finish, multiple powder coatings in the shade Graphite m (metallic) and a further special coating protect the luminaire housing, which is formed out of cast aluminium profiles, against corrosion. Together with the IP 65 protection rating these features ensure that the luminaires withstand all external environmental influences. The luminaire bases can be installed on concrete plinths or walls, while hot-galvanised ground sockets can be used to bury them in the ground.
