Lightscan is a powerful and versatile solution for sophisticated outdoor lighting tasks, designed to highlight architectural structures, landscapes, and vertical surfaces with precision and efficiency. Its high luminous flux enables the effective illumination of buildings, walls, and tall objects—even when mounting positions for floodlights are limited or set at a distance. Whether for accent lighting, washlighting, or uniform wallwashing, Lightscan offers tailored light distributions to direct illumination exactly where it's needed, minimizing light spill and maximizing visual impact.
With a sleek, slender silhouette and robust construction, Lightscan is built for durability and visual integration into its surroundings. Its corrosion-resistant cast aluminum housing features a No-Rinse surface treatment and is double powder-coated in a graphite finish. The smooth exterior is optimized to resist dirt accumulation, while the black powder-coated cover frame and safety glass protect the internal components. Rated IP65, Lightscan is both dust-tight and water jet-proof, making it exceptionally weather-resistant and reliable in demanding outdoor environments.
Lightscan’s optical system is built around ERCO's Spherolit lenses, available in a broad range of distributions including narrow spot, spot, flood, wide flood, extra wide flood, oval flood, and wallwash. The oval flood version features 360° rotation, allowing light to be precisely aligned with the form of the object or façade being illuminated. Combined with high-power LEDs in warm white (3000K) or neutral white (4000K), and optional variants in 2700K, 3500K, or CRI-enhanced versions, the system provides great flexibility for achieving the desired visual outcome. Collimating lenses made of optical polymer ensure a well-defined, efficient beam that supports both energy-saving performance and visual comfort.
Mounting flexibility is a key strength of Lightscan. The luminaire includes a durable mounting plate and hinge system with internal wiring, allowing a 90° tilt and up to 360° rotation depending on the model. These adjustments make it suitable for a wide variety of installations—from ground-level uplighting to façade-mounted directional lighting. Control options include switchable, phase dimmable with onboard dim, DALI dimmable, and Casambi Bluetooth, catering to both basic and intelligent lighting systems. The phase dimmable version also offers compatibility with external trailing-edge dimmers and features a built-in rotary dimmer for local brightness control.
Lightscan excels in multiple lighting applications. For accentuation, a tilt angle of approximately 30° is recommended to emphasize the three-dimensionality of architectural details, sculptures, or trees without creating harsh shadows. For washlighting, the same tilt angle ensures even illumination across columns, vertical surfaces, or tree canopies. When used for wallwashing, Lightscan projectors create a uniform vertical illuminance that defines spatial boundaries and architectural rhythm. In this case, the ideal luminaire offset from the wall should be about one-third of the room height, resulting in an optimal tilt angle of around 55°.
ERCO offers Lightscan in various construction sizes and lumen categories to meet a wide range of project requirements. Its high-output variants deliver large lumen packages capable of producing very high illuminances, allowing designers to create impactful lighting accents or provide general illumination across expansive outdoor areas. The combination of energy efficiency, durable engineering, and precision optics makes Lightscan an ideal choice for lighting professionals seeking performance, flexibility, and aesthetic harmony in exterior architectural lighting.
