new mantra in lighting design : Tune the light ERCO's new catch phrase "Tune the light" is a logical development of ERCO's "Light not luminaires" approach. Digitally networked electronic controls enable multiple lighting parameters to be manipulated. Light can be manipulated even more easily, more individually and more flexibly than ever before - all this is encapsulated in "Tune the light". The interaction of control hardware and software and the addressable luminaires in the ERCO Light System DALI opens up new dimensions for scenographic design. One of the most fascinating properties of light is its ability to continually reinterpret architecture. Designing and controlling such transformations with the inclusion of the time dimension is what we refer to as "scenographic light". As an integral part of the Light System DALI lighting control installation, the ERCO Light Studio software provides operational control that allows light colours and dynamic progressions to be adjusted from vary chrome luminaries in the most convenient and simplest possible manner. ERCO Light Server 64+ can take 768 addressees12 times more then the conventional DALI system.

do you spend 10 hours of your day
in a cave?
You actually do. Cluttered ceiling, distracting bright spots, dark walls, glare on monitor, inefficient in terms of energy is what you live with in your work place. Vis-à-vis presents lighting intelligence called RT5 from Lithonia of Acuity Brand Lighting, USA.

creating a volumetric zone
A feeling of spaciousness
Quiet, please
The unique optical design of RT5 allows it to distribute light uniformly onto room and cubicle walls, from the bottom nearly to the top, eliminating the cave effect common with existing so called parabolic or typical grid ceiling fixtures. RT5 evenly illuminates the space, opens up the room and makes it feel more spacious.
With its recessed refractor, high angle control and balanced fixture-to-celing luminance ratio, the RT5 luminaries' produces quiet ceiling that is not dominated by bright openings.
Reduces Energy Consumption, friendly to natural environment
...complements any space
Engineered to meet the needs of sustainable design. Optical design optimizes the performance of the lamp and ballast consuming 33% less energy than most of the popular alternative. Exceeds stringent regulations, such as California's title 24, ASHRAE 90.1 and IECC. Rt5 with SIMPLY5 offers complete family of products partnering for energy efficient environments. SIMPLY5 intelligent ballast is available as an option to RT5 luminaries to increase energy saving potential of

The clear centre of the focal diffuser emits the part of the light vertically downwards with high brilliance allowing effective highlights to be placed on merchandise and materials
ERCO's innovative Spherolit reflectors are ideal to focus the brilliant light of metal halide lamps depending on the application. The reflector surface consists of computer calculated, spherically domed facets.
By determining the individual radii of each facet of the reflector, a wide range of beam angles light distributions can be produced within the same shape of reflector.
