Beamer projectors are precision tools for the most demanding outdoor lighting tasks – technically on a par with the best museum spotlights. With compact and corrosion-free housings, they feature exceptional quality of light, adaptivity and digital connectivity. The light emission of their innovative darklight optics is highly uniform and without spill light. This gives the projectors maximum visual comfort and a magical appearance. The circumstances change? Interchangeable optics including zoom, framing and wallwash adapt to new requirements and filters and lenses serve as accessories for fine tuning. Options such as DALI, wireless dimming via Casambi Bluetooth, Tunable White and RGBW colours transform smart lighting scenarios into reality.
Because light needs darkness
Light only where it is needed. Darklight lenses project crisply defined beams of light onto the target surface with high precision. So darkness remains dark.
Facades, lettering or outdoor art? Illuminate with straight edges so that light is only where it should be.
Flexible till the last minute. Zoom optics allow for infinitely adjustable light distributions.
Interchangeable lenses allow for new lighting options over and over again.
Choose from two light spectra and create 8 more with filters. Or do you opt directly for Tunable white and RGBW?
Control your light with the setting of the sun or programme various light scenes.
Whether on the ground, on facades or on high masts: Beamer offers the right mounting options.

Oval flood
Beamer projectors ensure uniform floodlighting of wall surfaces or trees. The ideal angle of tilt (α) for this is approximately 30°.
Arrangement: α = 30°

Wide framing
Narrow framing
Contour spotlights allow for freely adjustable light beams to illuminate facades, logos or paintings in outdoor areas with sharp contours and without colour gradients. Select narrow framing to accurately illuminate small areas from a long distance and wide framing to accurately illuminate large areas from a short distance.

An angle of inclination (α) of approx. 30° is suitable for accent lighting with Beamer projectors. This emphasises the three-dimensions of architectural details, sculptures and trees without distorting the spatial impression with excessive shadowing.
Arrangement: α = 30°
Asymmetrical light distribution for highly uniform wallwashing.
Light source
8.1 W - 36.5 W

Wallwash
Outdoors, uniform vertical lighting defines spatial borders. The distance to the wall (a) of Beamer wallwashers should be around one third of the wall height (h) for this purpose. This results in an angle of tilt (γ) of approx. 55°.
Arrangement: a = 1/3 x h or γ = 55°
For good longitudinal uniformity, the luminaire spacing (d) of Beamer wallwashers may be up to 1.2 times the distance to the wall (a).
Arrangement: d ≤ 1.2 x a
Optimal wall distances and luminaire spacing values for individual products are specified in the wallwasher tables at www.erco.com.

Zoom spot
Zoom oval
Zoom projectors feature a continuously adjustable beam angle. With the spot to wide flood zoom range, smaller objects can be accentuated effectively at an inclination angle (α) of approximately 30°. Oval zoom is suitable for linear-shaped objects. The object is modelled without distorting the effect as a result of excessive shadowing. It also prevents shadows cast by the observer.
Arrangement: α = 30°

The darklight lens not only creates a magical impression with just a single light point. As precisely as a camera lens captures light, so too does Beamer project light with the darklight lens. ERCO thus sets standards in outdoor lighting. The interchangeable darklight lens offers lighting designers maximum flexibility and protects the environment from light pollution.
Do you want to illuminate rectangular façades, logos or paintings in outdoor areas with straight edges and without colour gradients? Beamer contour projectors produce fantastic edge-to-edge sharpness and are infinitely adjustable.
The narrow framing distribution is ideally suited for small areas and long lighting distances. Wide framing is suitable for large areas from short lighting distances.
Adjust the light spectrum ideally to the target area with tunable white. Create colourful scenographic lighting concepts with RGBW. With Casambi Bluetooth, control all of this simply by swiping on your smartphone.
Framing only has a magical effect when the light source remains almost invisible and the target area has the appearance of radiating from within. Beamer projectors have a closed, lightproof housing. This avoids distracting light reflections and the luminaires themselves remain concealed.
Is the mounting location of your luminaires not ideal for your lighting task? Zoom projectors solve this challenge because the optics allow an infinitely adjustable beam angle. This means that you always illuminate precisely, regardless of the location of the luminaire.
Rotationally symmetric light distribution is available by zooming from spot to wide flood (15° - 65°). For small to large accents in outdoor spaces. An axially symmetrical variant (approx. 20° x 70° - 75° x 60°) allows for adjustment of the oval light distribution. This means that different lighting tasks can be fulfilled with just one luminaire and the light never misses its target area.
Whether uniformly illuminating facades or accentuating sculptures with rich contrast: Beamer offers 12 different light distributions, many of which can be changed at a later date to suit any project.
Beamer offers two different light spectra with 3000K or 4000K as well as colour rendering up to CRI 92. Using conversion filters, you can create an additional 8 spectra from 3000K and 4000K for each application.
Perfect for seasonal festivities or corporate lighting: RGBW projectors allow for coloured lighting concepts with millions of colours. Thanks to white LEDs in the luminaire, lighting concepts with white light colours are also possible.

With Casambi Bluetooth, you can integrate Beamer into switchable systems without additional wiring and thus control it wirelessly. In addition, proven control methods such as DALI are also available.
Dim light simply by swiping on your smartphone or tablet. Use Casambi Bluetooth to control the brightness of individual luminaires or even several luminaire groups for illuminating architecture at night.
Light scenes allow you to adjust illuminance to the ambient brightness according to the specific time, thus saving valuable resources.
Spotlights with a G1/2” connection thread can be mounted on existing threaded holes - perfect for installation on high masts.
