Skim. Lighting design for any architecture

The low-cost recessed luminaire for office and general lighting

Show products

Special features of Skim
View product description

Suitable for office workstations

ERCO develops luminaires with the specifications of good glare control and high visual comfort. UGR values are used as support for purely norm-referenced lighting. With downlights though this should not be carried out using 'blanket' values, but should be implemented according to the individual arrangement of luminaires in the room.

Shallow recess depth

In compact installation situations, every millimetre is decisive with the recess depth of a luminaire. ERCO has thus developed special luminaires for shallow recess depths that guarantee very good quality of light even in very tight installation conditions.

Skim combines an attractive appearance with high quality of light and an excellent price-performance ratio. Ideal for offices, foyers and circulation zones as well as in retail, or the hotel industry. Several sizes, wattages and light distributions make Skim an attractive alternative to conventional luminaires. The lens system not only scores with a magical appearance, but also with high efficiency, uniformity and good visual comfort. Depending on the projected light distribution, Skim either provides particularly economical general lighting with large luminaire spacing or is ideal as standard-compliant task lighting.

Downlights

For optimum general lighting, the luminaire spacing (d) between two Skim downlights may, as a rough guide, be up to 1.5 times the height (h) of the luminaire above the working plane.

Arrangement: d ≤ 1.5 x h

The wall offset should be half the luminaire spacing.

Arrangement: a = d / 2

Linear general lighting for spatial structuring and the illumination of zones and pathways.

For uniform lighting with luminaires arranged in a line, the spacing (d) between two Skim downlights may be up to approximately 1.5 times the height (h) of the luminaire above the working plane.

Arrangement: d ≤ 1.5 x h

Application: halls and corridors as well as above tables.
