The perfect light spectrum
Are you looking for a spectrum in which light colour and colour rendering are individually matched to the surfaces and materials of your project? Simply contact us! We assemble our LED modules in-house and are happy to offer you further spectra and alternative LED types on request.
The right luminaire colours
More than 10,000 further housing colours from the RAL and NCS colour systems as well as individual adaptation to colour samples leave nothing to be desired. In addition to the luminaire housing, several anti-dazzle louvres can also be manufactured individually in your colour.
Diverse mounting options
We offer support if you cannot find luminaires with suitable fittings or adapters for unusual mounting situations. Pre-assembled connector systems help to reduce installation time at the building site in the event of challenging schedules.
Networked light control
Whether as an isolated solution or integrated into a complex building control system – in addition to the existing options for control via Bluetooth or DALI, we develop solutions with you to integrate our luminaires into your infrastructure.

Decades of project experience
Minimising luminaire size for an elegant appearance
To be able to elegantly mount the luminaire heads to the facade of The Shed in New York without drivers, "ERCO individual" reworked the design of the luminaire. A special mounting bracket fixes the luminaire head while the driver is positioned remotely. A colour temperature of 5,000K underlines the cool aesthetics of the movable steel construction.

Higher lumen packages for monumental buildings
To meet the special requirements of the protection of historic buildings and monuments at Milan Cathedral, the "ERCO individual" service developed individual lighting tools from standard luminaires featuring higher lumen packages, higher protection ratings, special mounting brackets and housing colours matched to the facade.

Individual light colour and control
Numerous buildings dating from colonial times are characteristic of the long stretch of The Bund waterfront in the centre of Shanghai. Ground-recessed luminaires from the Tesis and Site product ranges were used for displaying the facades. ERCO individual enabled a special light colour as well as an interface to the DMX control system.

High-output projectors
The lighting concept of the Louvre-Lens aims at a constant illuminance level. High lumen-output contour spotlights supplement the daylight and crisply illuminate the works of art. To ensure a high level of visual comfort, the custom-made optic is shielded on its sides to prevent glare for visitors.

Precise light for democracy
Lighting in the Reichstag plenary hall is a balancing act between the comfort requirements of Members of Parliament and the technical requirements of television cameras. Together with lighting designer Claude Engle, a high-output spotlight with very good glare control was developed. The spotlights were precisely aligned and individually focused in the plenary hall.

Taxi yellow for the New York Times
For all new buildings in Times Square, local regulations stipulate facade lighting that corresponds to this special location in terms of brightness, colour and dynamics. The lighting technology of the spotlights was perfectly suited for the extremely high facades of the New York Times building. At the request of the lighting design office OVI, the ERCO luminaires mounted in pairs on the base storey were coated in the special colour "New York Taxi Yellow".

Prestigious lighting for large rooms
In the prestigious hall of the European Convention Center in Luxembourg, the Council of Ministers of the European Union meets several times a year. The lighting solution with ERCO directional spotlights and separate emergency lighting is installed in a suspended ring structure. The special mounting situation with direct and indirect light components can be switched and dimmed in programmed scenes according to the situation.

One luminaire for all trade fair locations
The lighting technology for the Grand Basel Motor Show must not only be portable and capable of repeated assembly and disassembly, but must also comply with regulations and safety requirements and be compatible with the mains voltage. The 'ERCO individual' experts have developed special control gear for this purpose. Special LEDs with 5700K light colour were specified to create a daylight-similar impression.

Slender facade luminaires
The glass shell lends the Société Privée de Gérance building a uniquely prestigious character at night within its urban context. To integrate the lighting technology inconspicuously between the glass lamellae, ERCO individual has developed a new luminaire with very compact dimensions.

Individual planning of luminaire mounting heights
To ensure that the luminaires reference the exhibits more strongly in terms of design, "ERCO individual" designed a technical solution with pendant tubes for the Pollux spotlights. Lighting designers specified different lengths for the pendant tubes according to the spatial situation at the European Hansemuseum in Lübeck.
