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.

The luminaires are carefully developed and manufactured with a view to the future in our Lüdenscheid light factory, and at the same time our lighting consultants support lighting designers around the globe in implementing their lighting concepts in the best possible way. We develop luminaires according to specifications that are individually tailored to the projects and requirements of our customers. With our ERCO individual service we offer extensive options for the individualisation of series products as well as support in the development of sophisticated special luminaires.

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.

ERCO Greenology as a term combines ecological responsibility with technological expertise and is our strategy for sustainable lighting. The sustainable production of durable and efficient luminaires as well as perception-oriented lighting design according to the Human Centric Lighting principle are the pillars of this strategy. Our goal is the CO neutral production of lighting tools to make light as effective and therefore as sustainable as possible in application. Lighting Durability stands for our development goal, according to which all newly developed ERCO products are designed for a service life of no less than years. This corresponds to about , operating hours with a period of illumination of about ten hours per day over days.

Our Curated Layouts have been thoughtfully designed to create a stunning visual display that works with a variety of ceiling areas and heights. If the Curated Layouts do not fit within your design parameters or you have a specific vision in mind, our expert designers will collaborate with you to create a Custom Layout. Both options come with detailed shop drawings that depict the design, dimensions and specifications of each layout.
