In urban environments, light promotes public life at night. Create attractive places with a high quality of stay – with well thought-out planning of outdoor lighting in public spaces. In addition to the need for safety and security in outdoor areas, illumination at night also fulfills cultural and commercial purposes. Companies and institutions for example, strikingly display their facades with light. Some buildings thus establish themselves as landmarks in the nocturnal scene of towns and cities. Robust luminaires from ERCO with precise LED lighting technology ensure long-term and future-proof investments. In this way we bring the needs of people and the environment into harmony at night. We give helpful tips on how to effectively display facades, paths, trees or even bridges and railway stations with outdoor luminaires.
ERCO develops LED outdoor luminaires to specifically meet the requirements of urban environments. Corrosion-resistant materials make the luminaires extremely weatherproof. With at least an IP65 protection rating they are also dustproof and protected against jets of water from all directions.
Lighting concepts are as diverse as outdoor architecture itself. At ERCO, find the right LED outdoor luminaires with up to ten different light distributions – from accent lighting to wallwashing.
Sustainable lighting solutions and ecologically exemplary applications are important in outdoor areas. ERCO LED luminaires make a significant contribution to this thanks to precise optics and excellent glare control.
High-output Lightscan projectors illuminate the facades of Milan Cathedral with high uniformity from close up and from large distances. Lighting design: Ferrara Palladino Lightscape, Pietro Palladino. Photography: Timm Lange.
Round Tesis ground-recessed luminaires accentuate the hands with a contrasting play of light and shadow. The sculpture is thus transformed into a focal point in front of the National Museum of Qatar. Photography: Gavriil Papadiotis, London.
High lumen-output Kona, Beamer and Gecko projectors create pleasant horizontal general lighting at Bergen station. Wide light distributions provide uniform lighting and offer sufficient brightness for good orientation. Lighting design: Multiconsult: Ruth Marie Bottenheim. Photography: Johan Elm, Stockholm.
Guide passers-by with light. The very wide light beams of Castor bollard luminaires with 180° light distribution ensure large luminaire spacing along the paths at Sartorius AG, Göttingen. Architecture: Bünemann & Collegen GmbH, Hannover. Lighting design: Studio DL, Hildesheim.
Ground-recessed luminaires emphasize landmarks with wide light distribution and uniform accentuation. Simple alignment of the light beam with use of pivotable luminaires avoids spill light at the Argentine Republic National Library. Architecture: Clorindo Testa, Francisco Bullrich, Alicia Cazzaniga. Lighting design: Estudio Juan Altgelt & Asociados. Photography: Alejandro Wirth.
The Cittadella Bridge in Alessandria, Italy, spanning 185 meters, is an important landmark in the region. ERCO Lightscan and Grasshopper projectors with narrow distributions impressively illuminate the trussing of the bridge and emphasize its expressive bridge design. Architecture: Richard Meier & Partners Architects LLP. Lighting design: ENEL X. photography: Edgar Zippel, Berlin
The extremely precisely directed light of round Tesis ground-recessed luminaires not only illuminates the shape of the palm trees but also highlights the fine structures and subtle colouring of their trunks and leaves at the Palm Trees Circular Quay East in Sydney. Photography: Jackie Chan, Sydney.
