Kona is a powerful and flexible lighting tool designed for illuminating large buildings, façades, and objects in outdoor environments. Its distinctive round, conically shaped luminaire housing not only provides a sleek architectural aesthetic but also ensures outstanding visual comfort and excellent shielding, minimizing glare. With its high luminous flux, Kona is ideally suited for applications requiring long projection distances—whether delivering sharply focused beams for distant targets, broad floodlighting for expansive surfaces, or uniform wallwashing across vertical façades.
The luminaire’s versatility is further enhanced by a range of precise optical distributions made possible through ERCO’s Spherolit lens system. Available beam patterns include narrow spot, spot, flood, wide flood, extra wide flood, oval flood, and wallwash. The oval flood lens can be freely rotated 360° within the round luminaire head to align precisely with the object or surface being illuminated. Narrow spot, spot, and flood beams feature a defined cut-off angle of 30°, offering controlled, glare-free projection. This makes Kona particularly effective for highlighting architectural features, sculptures, and landscape elements with crisp contrast and dimensionality.
Kona’s high-performance LED module uses a collimating optical polymer lens to shape the beam precisely and efficiently. LED options include warm white (3000K) and neutral white (4000K) as standard, with additional variants available on request such as 2700K, 3500K, or high-CRI versions including 3000K CRI 97 and 4000K CRI 92. These options allow designers to tailor light quality and color rendering to suit both functional and atmospheric goals. The optoelectronics are durable and maintenance-free, reducing energy consumption and operating costs while enabling long-term installation in hard-to-access locations.
The robust housing is constructed from corrosion-resistant cast aluminum with a No-Rinse surface treatment and double powder coating in a standard Graphit m finish. Designed for outdoor resilience, the surface is optimized to reduce dirt accumulation. A black-lacquered anti-glare cone and integrated safety glass help protect the optics while enhancing comfort and longevity in outdoor use. Kona is rated IP65, making it fully dust-tight and water jet-proof, and thus ideal for all-weather installation.
Mounting flexibility is a standout feature of Kona. The luminaire includes a corrosion-resistant mounting plate and hinge, allowing tilt adjustments of 90° or 120° and rotation of 300° or 360°, depending on the configuration. Internal wiring keeps the appearance clean and professional. Extensive mounting accessories enable flexible installation across a wide range of architectural and landscape scenarios. Whether pole-mounted, ground-mounted, or façade-mounted, Kona adapts seamlessly to varied conditions.
Control options are equally extensive. Kona supports multiple dimming and control protocols, including switchable operation, phase dimming with onboard brightness adjustment, DALI dimming for integration into smart systems, and Casambi Bluetooth for wireless control. The phase dimmable + onboard dim version includes both compatibility with external trailing-edge dimmers and a manual rotary dial on the fixture for localized adjustment.
Kona excels in several key outdoor lighting applications. For accent lighting, a tilt angle of around 30° is recommended to emphasize the depth and form of three-dimensional elements such as trees, columns, or textured architecture, without creating overpowering shadows. For washlighting, the same tilt angle delivers even, glare-free illumination across long surfaces or vertical features. When used for wallwashing, Kona helps define spatial boundaries and enhance architectural rhythm through consistent vertical illuminance. The ideal offset distance from the wall in this application is approximately one-third the height of the wall, resulting in a recommended tilt angle of about 55°.
Offered in various construction sizes and lumen output levels, Kona meets a wide range of design and performance needs—from subtle accentuation to powerful projection. Its ability to combine superior visual comfort, efficient optical technology, and rugged construction makes it a top-tier solution for professional outdoor architectural lighting.
