ERCO Expands Beamer Spotlight Family
ERCO has expanded its Beamer spotlight family to include new sizes and contour optics options. Two years ago, ERCO presented its new generation of Beamer projectors. They brought the perfectly diffused low brightness lens technology of high-quality museum spotlights to the outdoor space. Now the new size L has been added to the existing sizes S and M – for even more power. Their precisely focused light achieves up to 76fc from a distance of 30 foot. Also new in size L: Beamer contour projector for sharp-edged illumination of target areas without light pollution.
Since their introduction, the projectors of the new Beamer generation have proven to be both precise and adaptive lighting instruments. They enable design with light in outdoor spaces with the finest nuances and the highest precision, ensuring that illuminated surfaces and objects appear optimal while darkness remains dark. The upward expansion of the Beamer family extends the choice of output levels and lumen packages. In addition, the larger housing also offers space for contour optics, whose properties are particularly relevant in the interest of Dark Sky and the avoidance of light pollution.
The centerpiece of the new Beamer contour projectors is a projection lens with four adjustable contour sliders. It gives users the ability to evenly illuminate sharply defined rectangular areas. For example, the facade of a building, a company sign, or a mural. In contrast to conventional projectors, the light from the contour projector precisely hits the target area or object, fully in line with Dark Sky technology. The illuminated surface seems to glow magically from within. This effect is further enhanced by Beamer’s light-proof housing, as the light source remains completely inconspicuous.
Beamer contour projectors with wide framing or narrow framing characteristics are available to optimize the effect to the distance and size of the target area. In addition, the various ERCO light colors as well as tunable white and RGBW offer even more creative scope for sharp-edged outdoor illumination.
Externally, the Beamer contour projectors differ from the other Beamer projectors in size L by the longer light head that protects the projection optics. In addition, the new products share all the features that already characterize the existing Beamer projectors in sizes S and M: For example, the corrosion-free housing, exceptional light quality, adaptivity, and digital connectivity. In addition to 0-10V Dimmability, there is the option of wirelessly controlling and configuring Beamer projectors with Casambi Bluetooth. The flexible installation, which may be carried out via a mounting plate or a 1/2″ I.P.S. nipple depending on the structural situation, also remains unchanged. This means that even the large Beamer projectors can be quickly and securely mounted on the ground, on facades, or on high masts with the appropriate accessories. A dial on the swivel joint facilitates alignment.
With a diameter of 193”, the Beamer projectors in the new size L deliver luminous fluxes of up to 2,6141lm with a connected load of 35 W. This means that their light beam can also cover large distances to the target surface and create powerful accents. In size L, the selection of interchangeable low brightness optics for rotationally symmetrical light beams corresponds to the smaller siblings and ranges from narrow spot (5°) to extra wide flood (82°). Other practical light distributions such as oval flood (19° x 65°), oval wide flood (60° x 87°) or wallwash utilize the proven Spherolit lens technology developed by ERCO. There are also two continuously adjustable optics: zoom spot (17°- 66°) and zoom oval (28°x 68° – 66°x 71°). Additional lenses and filters as accessories enable further fine tuning.
With the new size L and the contour projectors, the extended Beamer family offers an even wider selection of high-precision lighting tools than previously. Thus everyone benefits: Light designers are provided with a wide range of lighting tasks. And people in urban areas enjoy the attractive effects of light that is free from glare, whilst nature and the night sky are unaffected by spill light.
