The perfect solution for value-engineered projects, the Free End allows you to easily create a dramatic fixture by draping the Tracer Loop around a pre-existing or custom fabricated frame (not included by Luke Lamp Co.). The non-powered end terminates in a simple finishing cap, while the powered end is connected with field-adjustable pendant cord (unless you choose another mounting option) to a standard junction box.

ERCO luminaires are particularly durable and therefore also sustainable, and we’ve also applied this standard to our stand architecture. We use materials and equipment that can be recycled or reused. This started with the floor covering: because a one-way solution was out of the question, we included the hall floor in our concept. The timber frame structure can be used multiple times. The stairs and the ERCOplay gangway also consist of reusable rental scaffolding. Printed fabrics get a second life in the form of bags. Roadcases, which are on the road for ERCO product shows all over the world, are used as presentation tables to then return to the road – a statement against throwaway mentality and for longevity.

ERCO has developed optical systems for LED technology to meet various different lighting requirements efficiently and with enhanced visual comfort. This includes lens systems with ERCO’s patented Spherolit technology, enabling light to be directed precisely where it is needed using the full spectrum of light distribution options. ERCO sources the best high-power LEDs avail­able in the market, specifying the highest standards of colour deviation, lumen maintenance and forward voltage. ­Combined with excellent thermal management, this ensures optimum operating conditions and a long life of the LEDs.

Every room needs its own lighting concept, to support the users, as well as to complement the architecture and the interior. ERCO’s extensive experience in creative architectural and object ­lighting for different architectural segments links up with state-of-the-art LED technology. We have summarised the individual advantages of ERCO LED lighting tools for modern office, retail, museum, airport and façade lighting on the following pages, which also address the main issues arising in the context of architectural lighting with LED against the backdrop of our eight main application areas.

Wallwashing enhances the impression of brightness, making rooms appear more spacious. A differentiated lighting concept with a significant component of vertical illuminance holds the secret to superior efficiency and light ­quality. Combined with accent light, it reduces contrasts that cause premature eye fatigue. With the vertical planes of an environment making up around % of our visual perception, this explains why vertical illuminance plays such a crucial role in qualitative lighting design as well as for the efficiency of the lighting concept.
