The lighting of museums – and other projects with similar requirements such as those in the luxury retail segment – places the highest demands on lighting tools. The interchangeable lens units with darklight lenses not only create a magical impression with only one light point. They also offer precise, uniform light distributions and wide flexibility in the choice of beam characteristics: ranging from miniaturised lighting in confined spaces with Minirail 48V track and wall washing in picture galleries to the display of large exhibits in halls and atria. An extensive range of accessories round off the system – and Eclipse also offers innovative connectivity solutions using wireless standards such as Casambi Bluetooth and Zigbee.
Would you like a very small luminaire on miniaturized track? Are you looking for a luminaire with an elegant Intrack adapter? Would you like to use Eclipse directly in your existing system? To be able to respond ideally to your needs, we have developed Eclipse in two different variants. With the Eclipse 48V and Eclipse versions we offer the right concept for every application.
Eclipse 48V – elegant with a small track
Small spotlight dimensions
Can be combined with Minirail
48V track
Eclipse – perfect for room heights up to 26ft
Up to 3920lm for high illuminances
Can be combined with 120V track
Extensive accessories available as well as contour spotlights and zoom spotlights
Eclipse is available in four sizes – optimized for different applications. To come even closer to our maxim of "light instead of luminaires" we have significantly miniaturized the luminaire dimensions of Eclipse size XS to a diameter of only 1 1/4’’.
Size XS
Ideal for small exhibits and shop windows as well as for private use at very short distances
Available in the following Eclipse ranges:
Size S
Perfect for sensitive exhibits and room heights up to 10ft
Available in the following Eclipse ranges:
Size M
Ideal for versatile use in museums and shops with room heights up to 16ft
Available in the following Eclipse ranges:
Size L (available from first quarter of 2021)
Ideal for impressive displays of exhibitions with room heights up to 26ft
Available in the following Eclipse ranges:
Eclipse projects light with its darklight lens as precisely as a camera lens focuses light. ERCO thus sets new standards in architectural lighting. The interchangeable darklight lens offers lighting designers maximum flexibility and observers maximum visual comfort.
In-house developed optics exploit the full potential of efficiency and quality of light. The lenses guide the light with maximum precision, precisely defined light beams and high illuminances onto the target surface. From crisp-edged accen-tuation to uniform wallwashing – the complete bandwidth with just one luminaire range.

3’0’’ at illumination distance of 9ft
4’8’’ at illumination distance of 9ft
2’8’’-11’11’’ at illumination distance of 9ft
11’0’’ x 4’4’’ - 12’2’’ x 10’10’’ at illumination distance of 9ft
7’’ at illumination distance of 9ft
8’2’’ at illumination distance of 9ft
16’6’’ at illumination distance of 9ft

The new Eclipse contour spotlight generates a very sharply defined light beam. As a result, fascinating effects can be created where crisply illuminated pictures appear to glow from within – ideal for museums and galleries.
This distinguishes our Eclipse contour spotlights
Even larger imaging area
The double projection lens produces a very small focal distance and thus an even larger projection image than previous contour spotlights.
Light-tight housing
Thanks to the closed housing, no unintentional reflections are created in the room and towards the observer.
Sharp contours
Eclipse achieves sharp contours especially with larger artwork.
Maximum efficiency
Eclipse achieves high illuminance even with small luminaire sizes. To crisply illuminate a picture with 50lx from a distance of 4m, you only need 8.2W in size S.
Simple handling
The intuitive pulling out of the framing attachment enlarges the projected area. In addition, the complete luminaire head can be rotated.
Tunable white and RGBW
With tunable white and RGBW you can even individually adjust the color temperature to match the artwork or create scenographic concepts with 16 million colors.
Also available as accessories: contour spotlights
With the contour spotlight attachment as an accessory, a spotlight can be converted into a flexible contour spotlight at any time.
ERCO has designed Eclipse wallwashers for maximum demands regarding outstanding quality of light. Also noteworthy is their new lighting design flexibility: both luminaire spacing and distance to the wall can vary – perfect for projects with challenging conditions.
Variable like never before!
With a room height of 20ft, the ideal luminaire spacing is 6 1/2ft. With Eclipse this can vary by +/- 50% and thus between 3ft and 10ft. This enables you to remain flexible in your planning. Taking into account the maximum possible spacing, you reduce your investment costs compared to normal wallwashers.
Variable wall distance
Are you confronted with challenging spatial conditions? No problem: with a room height of 20ft for example you can install Eclipse wallwashers at a distance of 5ft from the wall instead of 6 1/2ft, meaning 25% closer than before.

Lenses and filters as accessories:
Eclipse gives you the perfect combination of light colour and colour rendering. 3000K CRI 97 is the right choice for the perfect rendering of colours. Maximum energy efficiency is achieved with 4000K CRI 82. Four conversion filters create 24 additional spectra from six LED light colours.
Tunable white enables you to perfectly illuminate art and merchandise and ideally emphasise colours. Warm white light colours are suitable for materials with warm tones whilst neutral or cool white light colours are ideal for cool materials.
LED-RGBW luminaires enable selection from over 16 million colours and pastel tones. A special optic achieves completely uniform, colour shade-free mixing – ideal for the coloured display of exhibits and merchandise.
Decide for yourself: from simple switching to the wireless programming of light scenes with Casambi Bluetooth or Zigbee – Eclipse gives you the complete range of options. Multi Dim enables you to dim Eclipse with DALI, Push Dim or via phase. On-board Dim gives you the opportunity to additionally adjust the bright-ness on the spotlight yourself, for example to set illuminance to a fixed value with sensitive works of art. What do you prefer?
Change the control mode at any time with the attachable add-on control unit.
Casambi Bluetooth
Control luminaires wirelessly via Bluetooth using a smartphone or tablet without additional hard-ware. Individual switching and dimming, setting up light scenes and integrating sensors – everything is possible with Casambi Bluetooth, including control via DALI.
0-10V via bridge
Connect your Casambi controlled luminaires to your 0-10V system using the new 0-10V Casambi bridge (accessory).
Zigbee 3.0
The wireless Zigbee radio standard is ideal for integrating into building automation systems and smart home networks. Simply control luminaires via smartphone and tablet and take advantage of the extensive control functions.
On-board Dim
Dimming via rotary control on the luminaire
Eclipse 120V with modern control options
Eclipse is available in control modes Casambi Bluetooth, On-board Dim and Switchable. Other control modes are possible on request.
Whether as a tunable white solution in museums, as a miniaturised spotlight in display cases, as a spotlight mounted at a large height or for brilliant accenting in the premium retail sector – Eclipse consistently meets all the requirements placed on a modular spotlight system.
