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.
The ERCO range for indoor lighting includes a wide spectrum of different LED luminaires: spotlights, track and light structures, recessed downlights, surface-mounted luminaires and wall luminaires. What they have in common is the guiding principle of efficient visual comfort. ERCO indoor luminaires also feature impressive quality of light and consistently set new standards for energy-efficient lighting.
ERCO is a leading international specialist in efficient architectural lighting with LED technology. The family-owned business in Lüdenscheid in the heart of Germany operates as a global player with independent sales and partner organisations in around countries. Founded in , ERCO pioneered architectural lighting across Europe in the s. In , the company became the first established luminaire manufacturer with a portfolio based entirely on LED technology. ERCO Greenology®, the corporate strategy for sustainable lighting, combines ecological responsibility with technological expertise. Around , committed and dedicated ERCO employees worldwide ensure that LED technology does not remain just a technology, but is further developed into sustainable lighting tools.
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.
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.
