Recessed downlights – Compact

Special features of Compact
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.

Double wallwasher

The special light distribution of the double wallwashers efficiently illuminates the opposite walls of corridors. The diffuse, reflected light from the walls also illuminates the floor and ceiling.

Covered or flush mounting detail

As standard, all recessed luminaires have overlapping installation details. Flush mounting rings are available as accessories.

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.

Wide luminaire spacing with wallwashing

Efficient ERCO photometrics allow certain luminaires to be spaced unusually far apart at up to 1.5 times the distance to wall.

New possibilities arise when people break new ground. Compact is a previously unseen combination of excellent visual comfort and particularly shallow recess depth. Its different light distributions of extra wide flood and oval flood enable all-round use in offices and administrative buildings as much as in salesrooms.

Individualise Compact for your use case

With our “ERCO individual” service we offer you extensive options for the individualisation of series products as well as support in the development of sophisticated special luminaires. In order to match Compact even more efficiently to your project requirements, further variants are available on request in addition to the series configuration. These include, for example:

Anti-glare ring with cross baffle: coated matt gold, matt silver or matt champagne
Connection: 3- or 5-pole plug with connection cable (Wago or Wieland)
Mounting ring: 10,000 further colours
Ceiling channel system

Downlights

For uniform ambient lighting, the spacing (d) between two Compact 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

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.

As a rough guide for uniform illumination, the luminaire spacing (d) between two Compact downlights installed in a row may be up to 1.5 times the height (h) of the luminaire above the working plane.

Arrangement: d ≤ 1.5 x h

Application area: hallways and circulation areas.

Vertical illuminance for brightening and dividing the space.

Lens wallwashers

For uniform vertical illuminance, the distance (a) of Compact lens wallwashers from the wall should be around one third of the room height (h).

Arrangement: a = 1/3 x h

For good longitudinal uniformity, the spacing (d) of Compact lens wallwashers may be up to 1.3 times the offset from the wall (a).

Arrangement: d ≤ 1.3 x a

The optimal wall offset and luminaire spacing for each product are indicated in the wallwasher tables in the catalogue and the product data sheets.
