The ERCO Program

Track for recessed, surface-mounted or suspended installation. The ERCO track for mains voltage and the low voltage Minirail 48V track are the ideal flexible infrastructure for spotlights, downlights and wallwashers. Track forms the basis for variable, flexible lighting design that adapts to the changing designs and uses of a room. ERCO offers two open and comprehensive track systems in the form of Minirail 48V track for low voltage and ERCO track for mains voltage. For indirect lighting and higher load-bearing requirements, Hi-trac is a further solution with a deeper profile.

ERCO spotlights bring flexible light into architecture: the spotlight is simply rotated and swiveled for optimum alignment. If objects in the room change their position, you can simply remove the spotlight from the track and mount it at a different location. Spotlights are ideal for creating accents, for general lighting and for wallwashing.

With recessed luminaires, the luminaire is completely subordinate to its lighting effect. The lighting tools are hardly noticed as an additional element of design, being fully integrated into the architecture. The spatial and architectural appeal is revealed in an interplay of light and shadow. Downlights and wallwashers are perfect for high quality general lighting with excellent visual comfort, and adjustable spotlights are ideal for accent lighting.

Very pragmatic considerations often lead to the use of ERCO surface-mounted luminaires – for example when the space required for recessing conventional downlights is not available in the ceiling. The decision in favour of a lighting concept with surface-mounted luminaires considerably reduces the installation complexity, for example in the case of solid ceilings or in existing buildings. Special surface-mounted luminaires with large lumen packages are suitable for general lighting of very high rooms. For the standard-compliant lighting of offices with UGR<19, select surface-mounted luminaires with particularly high visual comfort.

Pendant luminaires provide economical general lighting with a high level of visual comfort and are simultaneously a succinct detail of the architecture. If zones in rooms such as conference tables are to be highlighted by light, pendant luminaires are ideal. Depending on the application, you can choose between cylindrical or linear shapes. ERCO's linear pendant luminaires have an oval wide flood distribution that is specially tailored to large conference tables and desks arranged side by side. Human Centric Lighting concepts are made possible thanks to optional uplight with tunable white, for example in offices.

Spotlights in outdoor applications provide effective lighting. With different sizes, light distributions and a wide range of lumen classes, smaller objects can be illuminated just as impressively as monumental facades. Projectors are ideal for high-contrast accentuation without spill light. Floodlights and wallwashers achieve the uniform illumination of surfaces – even from long projection distances and under difficult installation conditions.

Vertical surfaces in the urban space contribute significantly to the spatial impression of squares, street axes and buildings. From the point of view of perception psychology and design, facade lighting is thus an important element in urban night lighting. Facade luminaires create grazing light, and optionally with uplight, which emphasises the surface structures of the facade. Facade luminaires are available with different downlight distributions: With wide distribution, facade luminaires alongside walls or buildings illuminate with high uniformity and over a large area, so that only a minimum number of luminaires is required. The narrow distribution is ideal for illuminating squares or terraces.

Successful path lighting with ERCO bollard luminaires is characterised by the fact that it fulfils design tasks as well as functional needs. In this way, the paths and open spaces of museums, office buildings or hotels extend a warm welcome to visitors and guests. Bollard luminaires with 180° and 360° distributions allow large luminaire spacings and greater design flexibility in the choice of luminaire positioning. In bollard luminaires, ERCO Dark Sky technology prevents light from escaping above the horizontal plane – the light is guided solely onto the ground – for perfect visual comfort and a dark night sky.

Atriums, cantilever roofs, passages and bridges require recessed luminaires for ceiling installation that meet the demands made on outdoor luminaires. ERCO recessed luminaires for outdoor applications are protected against dust and water jets and offer various distributions ranging from downlight and directional to wallwashing. Recessed luminaires feature corrosion-resistant aluminium housings and long-life, low-maintenance operation.

As with indoors, quite pragmatic considerations determine the use of ERCO surface-mounted luminaires in outdoor applications. The decision in favour of lighting concepts with surface-mounted luminaires considerably reduces the installation complexity, for example in the case of solid ceilings or on beams for example. Surface-mounted luminaires are ideal for use in railway stations, airports, passageways and atriums. ERCO surface-mounted luminaires for outdoor use feature the same quality of light as luminaires for indoor applications. Surface-mounted luminaires feature corrosion-resistant aluminium housings and, with IP65 protection, are completely weatherproof.

Ground-recessed luminaires enable you to achieve a particularly high level of attention in the outdoor space. Luminaires installed on the ground as well as the direction of light from bottom to top is unusual and therefore particularly striking. Illuminate landmarks such as bridges, facades and subways with ground-recessed luminaires. A choice of different distributions such as alignable ground-recessed spotlights, uplights and wallwashers means you will always find the right lighting tool for your application. ERCO ground-recessed luminaires are especially robust and suitable for harsh outdoor conditions thanks to corrosion-resistant in-ground housings. The high IP68 protection rating, possible loads of up to 20kN and longitudinally watertight connection cables enable long-life, low-maintenance operation.
