ERCO’s outdoor lighting range is engineered to provide exceptional visual comfort and precise illumination for a diverse spectrum of architectural and landscape applications. Utilizing cutting-edge LED technology, these luminaires are purpose-built to deliver optimal performance across various nuanced outdoor settings—whether it's façade lighting, pathway illumination, or highlighting bridges, sculptures, and public infrastructure such as railway stations. Each fixture combines optical precision with durability and refined aesthetics, offering designers the tools to masterfully shape light and darkness in the outdoor realm.
At the forefront of this range is the Beamer series, a collection of high-performance projectors designed to meet the most demanding outdoor lighting challenges. Engineered with the same precision found in museum-quality luminaires, Beamer projectors feature advanced darklight optics that deliver highly uniform, glare-free illumination. Their innovative lenses produce light without spill, offering maximum visual comfort while creating a refined, almost magical appearance in the environment. The compact, corrosion-resistant housings are built for longevity and maintain a sleek, unobtrusive presence in architectural contexts.
Beamer projectors offer unmatched adaptability through a modular system of interchangeable optics and accessories. A wide range of lens types supports various beam shapes including narrow spot, spot, flood, wide flood, extra wide flood, oval flood, oval wide flood, wallwash, as well as continuously adjustable zoom and projection lenses. Zoom lenses enable precise control over beam angle—ideal for both circular and linear subjects—while framing projectors allow for sharp-edged rectangular light beams, perfect for logos, architectural accents, and artwork. These features make it easy to tailor the lighting effect to evolving project requirements.
Color temperature and chromatic control are central to Beamer’s versatility. With options for tunable white (2700K–7500K) and RGBW LED modules, the fixtures support scenographic lighting and dynamic color transitions. Whether used to emphasize seasonal themes or to respond to different ambient conditions, these color-capable projectors bring expressive flexibility to exterior spaces. Conversion filters and additional accessories further enhance the lighting designer’s ability to fine-tune both color and distribution, adapting luminaires precisely to specialized applications.
Construction-wise, Beamer fixtures are made for challenging environments. Their Graphit m finished housings are fabricated from corrosion-resistant cast aluminum or coated polymer with a No-Rinse surface treatment, ensuring durability and reduced dirt accumulation. The non-reflective safety glass and internal wiring maintain reliability and visual clarity over time. Each projector includes a tilt function of up to 90° and offers rotational flexibility of 330° or 360°, depending on the mounting configuration. Control options include switchable operation, DALI dimming, and Casambi Bluetooth for wireless integration, allowing smooth adaptation into smart lighting systems.
Beamer projectors are ideal for a range of outdoor lighting techniques. For accent lighting, a tilt angle of approximately 30° helps reveal the three-dimensional character of architectural elements, sculptures, and trees. The adjustable zoom function allows users to focus the light precisely on objects of varying size and shape, without distorting the spatial impression or introducing unwanted shadows from viewers. For projection applications, contour spotlights provide crisp, color-accurate edges for highlighting signage, branding, or façade textures. Narrow framing beams are suited to illuminating small details from long distances, while wide framing lenses cover large surfaces effectively from shorter throw distances.
In washlighting scenarios, Beamer projectors offer consistent and uniform coverage of vertical surfaces, trees, or landscape features. A tilt angle of around 30° typically delivers the most balanced visual result. For wallwashing, which defines the vertical spatial boundaries in exterior settings, the recommended distance from the wall should be about one-third of the wall height. This setup, paired with a 55° tilt angle, ensures even distribution of light across the entire surface, enhancing architectural rhythm and visual guidance.
ERCO’s Beamer series encapsulates the principles of professional lighting design—precision, efficiency, adaptability, and aesthetic refinement. By combining darklight technology, high-output performance, customizable optics, and intelligent control, these luminaires set a new standard for outdoor architectural lighting. Whether for heritage landmarks, urban façades, green spaces, or institutional settings, ERCO Beamer projectors deliver technically advanced and visually compelling solutions tailored to the demands of contemporary design.
