Zoom spotlights

A completely new range of freedom for flexible museum and shop lighting is created with zoom spotlights. The optic enables a continuously adjustable beam angle. Rotationally symmetric light distribution is available with zoom from spot to wide flood. An axially symmetric variant allows adjustment of the oval light distribution according to the room situation. This means a range of lighting tasks can be performed with just one lighting tool.

At the 50th EuroShop the ERCO booth will focus on ERCO lighting technology based on in-house developed LED photometrics, offering a cohesive toolbox of modular lighting tools for stunningly expressive concepts.
