{ERCO Press releases\par \par \par Zoom spotlights from ERCO ? continuous, loss-free zooming for oval and round light beams\par \par \par Lüdenscheid, February 2019. Just as painters need brushes of different widths, lighting designers need luminaires with different beam angles. The contrast between narrow, precise lighting accents and floodlighting is a central means of design with architectural and presentation lighting. Flexibility through interchangeable lens optics is good, but users often wish for even more flexibility in the form of spotlights with adjustable zoom optics. ERCO's new zoom floodlights solve such tasks with an innovative functional principle: their light beam is infinitely adjustable due to control via special lens technology, loss-free and with high efficiency. ERCO zoom spotlights are not only available as zoom spot with rotationally symmetric light distribution but also in the form of zoom oval with axially symmetric light distribution, for example for precisely illuminating sculptures - an additional advantage compared to conventional zoom spotlights.\par \par Lighting practitioners know such situations well: when commissioning and lighting an exhibition or redecorating a retail outlet, they usually climb the ladder more than once until the lighting accent "sits" precisely on an object. Even those who are in the fortunate position of having a sufficient pool of spotlights with different beam angles, or as is possible with ERCO, interchangeable lens optics, wish, by the third change at the latest, for spotlights with universal, infinitely variable zoom optics. The potential of such zoom spotlights in museums, galleries and sales areas for example is enormous: each light beam can be individually and precisely adjusted to the situation, the number of overall luminaires or interchangeable lenses is reduced and a lot of time is saved when commissioning. But to achieve this, the quality of light and efficiency of the zoom spotlights must also be on a par with fixed beam angle spotlights. ERCO developers have now achieved this with the new zoom spotlights thanks to light control via lens technology.\par \par Maximum efficiency\par \par The innovative zoom technology fits into a surprisingly compact, rotatable optical attachment at the light emission aperture of the spotlight, the length of which does not change when zooming. One turn of the ring is sufficient to adjust the beam angle as desired: with zoom spot the zoom range is from spot (15°) to wide flood (65°), and with zoom oval from 19°x71° to 60°x74°. When zooming, the lenses bundle the light beam without loss of light: this increases illuminance in the spot position by a factor of more than ten and offers ideal conditions for rich-contrast, precise accentuations. In each zoom position, the entire LED luminous flux is projected onto the target surface. ERCO zoom floodlights set the standard in this product segment in terms of both efficiency and uniformity of the light beam. \par \par The variable "sculpture lens"\par \par With its new zoom technology, ERCO provides not only rotationally symmetric distribution, but for the first time also variable axially symmetric light beams. These spotlights with zoom oval light distribution are suitable for applications where, in the past, sculpture lenses or the oval flood characteristic were used. Zoom oval makes it possible to adjust both the proportions and the position of the oval - ideal for the precise illumination of objects with elongated proportions such as sculptures, mannequins in shop windows, panorama formats and lettering. \par \par Zoom is used in many spotlight series\par \par The stringent system of the ERCO range makes it possible to offer the new zoom technology right from the start in a whole range of proven spotlight families: Optec, Pollux, Parscan as well as Oseris are available as zoom spotlights in different sizes. As with previous light distributions, zoom optics can be combined in a variety of ways with the familiar options from the ERCO luminaire system in terms of light colours, wattages and dimming variants.\par \par \par Über ERCO\par \par Die ERCO Lichtfabrik mit Sitz in Lüdenscheid ist ein führender Spezialist für Architekturbeleuchtung mit LED-Technologie. Das 1934 gegründete Familienunternehmen operiert weltweit in knapp 40 Ländern mit über 60 Tochtergesellschaften, Niederlassungen und Vertretungen. Seit 2015 basiert das Produktprogramm vollständig auf LED-Technologie. Unter dem Leitmotiv "light digital" entwickelt, gestaltet und produziert ERCO in Lüdenscheid digitale Leuchten mit den Schwerpunkten lichttechnische Optiken, Elektronik und Design. Die Lichtwerkzeuge entstehen in engem Kontakt mit Architekten, Lichtplanern und Elektroplanern und kommen primär in den folgenden Anwendungsbereichen zum Einsatz: Work und Shop, Culture und Community, Hospitality, Living, Public und Contemplation. ERCO versteht digitales Licht als die vierte Dimension der Architektur - und unterstützt Planer dabei, ihre Projekte mit hochpräzisen, effizienten Lichtlösungen in die Realität zu überführen.
