{ERCO Press releases\par \par \par How light becomes more efficient, more flexible and more digital: ERCO presents the next generation of Parscan spotlights\par \par \par Lüdenscheid, January 2022. At ERCO, for almost 20 years the name Parscan has been synonymous with versatile spotlights that emit outstanding quality of light from elegant cylindrical housings. The new generation now comprises three product ranges in the form of Parscan 48V, Parscan InTrack and Parscan OnTrack ? and in every respect offers more Parscan than ever before.\par \par In order to optimally illuminate exhibits in museums and galleries, architects and lighting designers use spotlights mounted on track, as has been done for generations. But such systems are also used in modern boutique offices to set lighting accents, wallwash and emphasise functional areas in foyers via brightness contrasts. Spotlights with a basic cylindrical construction have long been an archetype ? which is all the more reason for high standards of innovative technology and superior details. ERCO responds to this demand with its new generation of the Parscan range of spotlights, further developed in all aspects.\par \par Typical features of Parscan's simple and elegant design ensure a high recognition factor: for example the angled support bracket that fits flush into the housing when the spotlight is aligned vertically downwards. Compared with its predecessors and the mass of competitors? generic products, the progress is reflected in visibly increased effectiveness and quality of light, greater flexibility in application and more digital control. In the Parscan spotlights ERCO uses re-engineered, even more precise and finely structured Spherolit lenses for controlling the light ? in no less than 12 practical light distributions that, as compact lens units, can be exchanged without tools.? \par \par Brings more light to the target area\par \par The superior quality of the Spherolit optics is inadequately expressed in only lumens per watt (lm/W) which ultimately only specifies how much light is emitted from the luminaire. Laboratory measurements by ERCO confirm the visual impression of spill light-free, exceptionally uniform and high-output light beams: Parscan spotlights are leaders in terms of illuminance on the target surface, expressed in lux per watt (lx/W). In other words: Spherolit technology provides light only where it is intended. With this level of effectiveness and precision, energy-efficient lighting concepts can be realised which conserve resources and at the same time achieve impress.\par \par ? Brings more variation to lighting concepts\par \par The broad technical platform of Parscan makes this quality of light accessible for a wide range of applications. Spotlights in sizes XS, S and M will be available for the market launch, and further sizes from L to XXL for Parscan InTrack will follow during the course of the year. This means that lumen packages are available for any size and dimension of project.ive effects. \par \par The three Parscan ranges cover different applications: Thanks to the miniaturised dimensions of its adapter combined with the Minirail 48V track Parscan 48V is particularly suitable for compact rooms, for example in boutique offices. Parscan InTrack impresses with an ultra-slim Intrack adapter for 3-circuit track, functioning as a universal system for applications where versatility and a minimalist design come to the fore ? for example in museum and gallery lighting. ?Parscan OnTrack with its classic transadapter is the ideal solution for supplementing existing dimmable lighting installations with state of the art spotlight technology.\par \par Customised in next to no time\par \par For all Parscan models ERCO offers a choice of six LED light spectra with colour temperatures from 2700K to 4000K and a colour rendering index (CRI) of up to 97 at 3000K. Those requiring even finer gradations can use the four conversion filters available as accessories ? or opt directly for Tunable White or RGBW technology for coloured lighting designs. \par \par The 12 distributions include five rotationally symmetric distributions ranging from narrow spot (5°) to extra wide flood (82°) as well as special optics: as a core expertise of ERCO, a wallwash optic provides high quality, extremely uniform and efficient vertical illumination. In addition, there are also two floodlights with oval beams, continuously adjustable zoom spotlights with spot (16°- 68°) or oval (25°x 63° - 65°x 68°) beams and two contour spotlights with different focal distances. The distributions can also be modulated with soft focus or sculpture lenses as accessories. The optics are mounted in compact lens units that are exchanged without tools ? this is ideal for building up a flexible pool of luminaires for e.g. temporary exhibitions.\par \par Wireless, dynamic and digital\par \par Parscan is just as flexible and customisable in terms of control as it is with light colours and distributions. Six control modes can be chosen from: wired with Multi Dim, DALI, Push Dim or phase dimming as well as wireless with Casambi Bluetooth or Zigbee 3.0. Three Add-on Control Units for plugging in provide even further flexibility. The type of control can be changed by exchanging these control elements on the back of the luminaire, for example from manual dimming via the rotary control on the luminaire (On-Board Dim) to Casambi Bluetooth wireless control. \par \par For the new generation of the spotlight range it can thus be said: Parscan provides architects and lighting designers with universal tools that meet the highest quality requirements ? and, thanks to their intelligent system design, luminaires that are adaptable to the lighting tasks of the future.\par \par ?\par \par More information on Parscan\par \par Technical properties of the three product ranges\par \par Parscan InTrack for track\par \par ERCO lens system:   lens optic made of optical polymer ?(Spherolit lens)\par \par Direct distributions:       Narrow spot (5°),\par \par Spot (16°),\par \par Flood (29°),\par \par Zoom spot (16° - 68°),\par \par Zoom oval (25° x 63° - 65° x 68°),\par \par Framing (crisp-edged illumination of pictures),\par \par Wide flood (46°),\par \par Extra wide flood (82°),\par \par Oval flood (15° x 63°),\par \par Oval wide flood (54° x 79°),\par \par Wallwash (uniform wallwashing)\par \par ERCO LED module:        high-power LED\par \par Light colours:  2700K CRI 92, 3000K CRI 92, 3000K CRI 97, 3500K CRI 92, 4000K CRI 92, 4000K CRI 92, tunable white (2700K - 8000K) or RGBW\par \par Housing:            aluminium, colour: white, black, silver\par \par Installation:           InTrack adapter\par \par Control gear:   switchable, On-board Dim, Multi Dim, ?Multi Dim + On-board Dim, ?Casambi Bluetooth (+ DALI via Gateway) or Zigbee 3.0\par \par Multi Dim version: DALI dimmable, Push Dim or dimming with external dimmers ?(leading edge-/trailing edge-/ universal dimmer) possible \par \par On-board Dim version: rotary control on the luminaire for brightness control\par \par \par \par Parscan OnTrack for track\par \par ERCO lens system:   lens optic made of optical polymer ?(Spherolit lens)\par \par Direct distributions:       Narrow spot (5°),\par \par Spot (16°),\par \par Flood (29°),\par \par Zoom spot (16° - 68°),\par \par Zoom oval (25° x 63° - 65° x 68°),\par \par Framing (crisp-edged illumination of pictures),\par \par Wide flood (46°),\par \par Extra wide flood (82°),\par \par Oval flood (15° x 63°),\par \par Oval wide flood (54° x 79°),\par \par Wallwash (uniform wallwashing)\par \par ERCO LED module:        high-power LED\par \par Light colours:  2700K CRI 92, 3000K CRI 92, 3000K CRI 97, 3500K CRI 92, 4000K CRI 92, 4000K CRI 92\par \par Housing:            aluminium, colour: white, black, silver\par \par Installation:           transadapter or DALI transadapter\par \par Control gear:   switchable, phase dimmable + On-board Dim, DALI dimmable\par \par Phase dimmable + On-board Dim version: Dimming with external dimmers (trailing edge) possible and rotary control for brightness control on the luminaire\par \par \par \par Parscan 48V for Minirail track 48V\par \par ERCO lens system:   lens optic made of optical polymer ?(Spherolit lens)\par \par Direct distributions:       Narrow spot (5°),\par \par Spot (16°),\par \par Flood (29°),\par \par Zoom spot (16° - 68°),\par \par Zoom oval (25° x 63° - 65° x 68°),\par \par Framing (crisp-edged illumination of pictures),\par \par Wide flood (46°),\par \par Extra wide flood (82°),\par \par Oval flood (15° x 63°),\par \par Oval wide flood (54° x 79°),\par \par Wallwash (uniform wallwashing)\par \par ERCO LED module:        high-power LED\par \par Light colours:  2700K CRI 92, 3000K CRI 92, 3000K CRI 97, 3500K CRI 92, 4000K CRI 82, 4000K CRI 92, tunable white (2700K ? 8000K) or RGBW\par \par Housing:            aluminium, colour: white, black, silver\par \par Installation:           ERCO Minirail adapter\par \par Control gear:   switchable, On-board Dim, Casambi Bluetooth (+ DALI via Gateway), Zigbee or Wireless DALI Connect\par \par On-board Dim version: rotary control on the\par \par luminaire for brightness control\par \par \par About ERCO\par \par The ERCO Light Factory in the German town of Lüdenscheid is a leading international specialist in architectural lighting using LED technology.
