Control properties of LEDsThe optimal switching and dimming of LEDs makes them ideal for integration in electronic lighting control systems such as Light System DALI LEDs are completely switching stability and capable of hot restart, it can be infinitely dimmed from 100% to 1% – to no ill effects properties light colour and colour reproduction or life as with other lamps. Therefore, most of the ERCO LED lighting tools is also available as Light Client, i.e. With DALI-compatible control device available. The combination of individually addressable luminaires, powerful software and a variety of interfaces for switches and sensor combines with Light System DALI stenographic lighting with efficient visual comfort.DimmingThe brightness of LED lights can be adjusted continuously.
With the master dimming, the Light Changer can also regulate a selected light scene in their overall brightness. Unlike other bulbs, colour temperature and colour rendering remain constant with LEDs.Colour TemperatureLight Clients with RGBW LED module appear in Light Studio with attribute vary chrome 4-channel.
With the corresponding slider in the software enables the colour temperature over a wide range infinitely variable.Coloured lightFor DALI-compatible luminaires with varychrome technology / for step less RGB colour mixing with the Light Studio/ is provide a comfortable and familiar colour wheel control. It provides an intuitive and interactive selection of light colours and relieves the user from the tedious entry of separate levels for the individual colour components.DALI plug and playEvery Light Client, i.e. Every DALI-compatible ERCO luminaire receives a digital code at the factory in the DALI control gear. The luminaire ID contains the article and serial number for the special comfort features for commissioning, programming and operation of the Light System DALI: The Light Studio software recognizes the type of luminaire and provides the relevant information and functions.Control of varychrome ringsThe Quintessence recessed luminaires with varychrome rings are designed for convenient control over Light System DALI.
Main light and varychrome ring form in this type of lighting two lighting systems, each with its own DALI control gear. Light the lamp as a client but has a factory encoding with a unique glow-ID, allowing the Light Studio software can automatically detect the light as a unit and clearly summarized.The light colour of the colour wheel by varychrome ring can be easily adjusted in the software and make a few clicks to program dynamic characteristics. There are a wide range of LED lighting options available for a home exterior. Below are just a few of the available options.FloodlightsFloodlights with axially symmetrical light distribution are primarily used for general lighting, especially during power outages or at night.
The angle of the lights ensures are a broad visual field.Facade LightingVertical surfaces in the city contribute significantly to the formation of constricted spaces. Based on information from the psychology of perception, we know that facade lighting, mounted on the outside of buildings, plays an important role in opening up space, especially at night. Different cladding types require specific lighting concepts to highlight the qualities of the architecture. However, before adding facade lighting, it is recommended that you consult a professional to determine whether the cladding on your building can support the lighting.
For example, if you are trying to put facade lighting on your home, siding experts, including the folks at, can help you to determine whether facade lighting will work with your home’s siding.Bollard LightsWhile bollards are normally thought of within the context of building security, they are also an important lighting feature. They can simultaneously provide security and lighting for walkways and roadways. Typically, bollard lights are designed to radiate light toward the ground to illuminate roadways and pathways without generating any glare.Recessed LightingArchitectural features such as atriums, cantilevered roofs, tunnels or bridges require lights on the ceiling but may not have the space for the lighting to hang down. In this case, recessed lighting, or lighting that is built into the ceiling or wall, is the lighting option of choice.
This is more difficult than normal hanging lights, but is sometimes necessary when space is limited.Hanging LightsIf space is not a problem, then hanging lights, as opposed to recessed lights, are a good option. These are easier to install because they have only to be attached to the ceiling, whereas recessed lights require you to create space within the wall or ceiling to fit the light. Hanging lights are a good option in homes with vaulted ceilings or in gymnasiums.Floor lightsGround lighting is an excellent choice in a dark hallway, movie theater, or garden area. The key is to keep the light from radiating upward because this can create glare for whoever is nearby rather than providing illumination. Instead, you want to install lights that glow more dully or that radiate laterally. Being built in high-power LEDs, as well as with other lamps, heat by conduction.
It is on the circuit board and the coupling to a heat sink or housing largely discharged backwards. The light from the white LEDs is however free from infrared radiation, the beam of light is thus no heat to the object. Especially for museums, this aspect is relevant because for conservation reasons heat stress on the exhibits is undesirable.
The same applies for the illumination of heat-sensitive foods.Heat radiated from products with low voltage halogen lampsAs thermal radiators produce low-voltage halogen lamps light possesses a glowing filament. This allows heat generated in all directions. Compared to LEDs contains the spectrum of low-voltage halogen lamps, a large infrared percentage. For lighting art are therefore usually required additional infrared filter, but reduce the efficiency.Life of LEDsGood heat management allows use of the potential of the LED over the life at full power. The junction temperature, which is measured between the two conductive layers of the LED, is the critical parameter for the heat management represents this exceeds a critical value, the first from the service life. The maximum value is exceeded, the LED will be complete. In the calculation of the nominal life flows the possible reduction of the luminous flux at 70% and the proper function of 50% of the LEDs.
Places the thermal management of its LED lights so that a service life of 50,000 hours can be expected.Interior lights – light structuresSince the invention of the incandescent lamp, no product has revolutionized the lighting design as the current bar. The track effectively solves lighting and lamps from the constraints of rigid mounting. It forms the basis for a variable, flexible lighting design, which may be based on varying design and use of a space. Wide range of accessories allows the linear ordering of rails or the construction of rectangular structures. Light structures combine the capabilities of fixed and moveable lights.Spotlights, floodlights and wall washersSpotlights bring flexible light in the architecture: flexibility, both in terms of positioning on the track as well as in the orientation, is its most important feature, and its domain is the accent lighting. The Lights series of qualify with different power ranges and detailed solutions for their respective applications.
Each series features in unified design features with different beam lights and lamps.Recessed spotlights, recessed floodlights and recessed wall washerRecessed spotlights combine the flexibility of projectors with the peaceful image of recessed lights. Your domain is the accent lighting.
Pivot mechanisms allow aligning the lights on objects or even vertical surfaces. Recessed spotlights are inconspicuous architectural details and can be combined very well with down lights.Down lightsWith recessed ceiling lights, the light enters fully behind its lighting effect. The lights barely as an additional design element, but are fully integrated into the architecture. Room and object effects unfold only in the interplay of surfaces and light – light that can be in various forms of accent lighting cone generated to flooding wall lighting with down lights.
LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY- DEVICE TO CREATE EXPERIENCE IN ARCHITECTURAL SPACE1. DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface)Lighting control systems in the simplest ways, such as switch and dim, applied in our everyday lighting system with analogue controller 1V-10V signals. In this system, the control circuit must be planned carefully, because its position cannot be changed. The arrangement and grouping of the luminaries is determined by the position of the light controller, thus they cannot be addressed individually. It is not difficult to control and maintain lighting system in a small size area, but when it comes to a large and complex system, office building for example, it is not easy.
Today’s technology develops this simple system with digital system, known as DALI. DALI system is basically digital control protocol (integrated chip) that enables luminaires to be controlled individually, and provide user friendly light management, which make controlling complex lighting system easier.Features and BenefitsDALI main feature is, it enables individual control of fittings, so it is possible to check and maintain directly to the components of the fittings. Comparing with 1V-10V analogue control system, DALI is useful for scene selection and getting feedback regarding failure of light sources because it is equipped with bidirectional system. Bidirectional information flow makes it possible to get information about whether the light is switched on or off, the light intensity, and the ballast condition. DALI system can control several different groups of light fixtures through only one pair of control cable. This system does not necessarily need switch panel, the light can be switched off only with direct commands from the DALI system.
The DALI system provides easy arrangement of the lighting fixtures and adding new components without distraction from wiring or hardware adjustments, because it only needs changes in the programming of the system.Technical DataDALI system has a standard maximum number of devices that can be controlled from one protocol, which is 64 devices (lighting fixture), also it is limited to maximum 250 mA total supply current. It should not excess this limit, because it can cause system failure.DiagramApplicationERCO Light company develop and apply DALI control technology as integrated system, that compatible for its lighting luminaires to manage and create lighting scene. ERCO create a control panel that is called Light Server. The Light Server is a DALI controller which able to store system and scene data and provide the control functions. This control panel has compact design, flexible for its mounting and it can be connected directly to a PC through USB interface.All the light software stores inside the Light Server, this software is the one that enables all the lighting features and configurations.
The software, called Light Studio, consists of features to manage and arrange lighting scene, organize the physical light structure, and time frame for lighting scene. This technology makes it easier to solve complex configuration of lighting, and create scenographic lighting without complicated wiring and fixed control system. One of the application of DALI system in a building, shown through the design of Restaurant Guillaume at Bennelong, Sydney Opera House.The lighting system is used to create different scene of light based on the condition of outdoor lighting (daylight). Using DALI, each luminaires are addressed individually, illuminance is adjustable with just a control from a laptop, thanks to the DALI system and the software even though the high distance between the light fixtures and tables.Price:REFERENCES:2. AXIS WALKLIGHTAxis walklight is an innovative lighting system from ERCO that applies advanced LED light source, to create glare free directional lighting system.
It is basically used for lighting in stairways, or pathways that also provides attractive appearance for space design. The source of this lighting fixture is LED module, concealed inside a rectangular, lens-like cover glass. This system is maintenance free, because LED is highly efficient and has a long service life.
The LED module with RGB (red, green, blue) technology makes it possible to change light colors dynamically and continuously. The lighting control is carried out individually or as a group through a separate control gear. It is known as Varychrome Walklight. Varychrome Walklight uses LED with RGB combine with DALI system, in providing dynamic and continuous changes of color.
Each DALI compatible luminaire is pre-programmed with factory-set code of their DALI control gear. It allows the luminaires to be automatically recognized and clearly displayed by the Light Server and Light Studio software. Then, through the software, color scene is designed and modified. It is user friendly, easy installation, and digitally controlled lighting system.Technical DataDimension: 269x60x88.Weight: 0,85 kgHousing: corrosion-resistant cast aluminium.

The light to illuminate steps or paths is produced using the asymmetrical reflector-lens system. In this system, the lamp is concealed, irrespective of the observer’s position. The main concern for light in stairways is safety regarding each step edge. A Softec lens acting as safety glass projects the light all the way to the edge of the step and therefore provides an excellent illumination of the edges of steps or path.The LED module itself provides excellent light distribution to illuminate wide steps. Coverage and illuminance of the area to be lit depends on the mounting height.REFERENCES:3. TFL WALLWASHERThe idea of wallwasher light is producing a whole ambient of light in a space and uniform wall illumination.
TFL wallwasher is one of several types of wallwasher lighting fixtures, specially designed with a reflector that can provide changes of color light in a room, called TFL Varychrome wallwasher. This product is also equipped with DALI control system, which is placed inside the luminaire, to programme the color changes in TFL wallwasher individually.FeaturesTFL wallwasher’s feature is each fluorescent lamp inside it can be controlled individually in its color mixing. It uses special diffuser to make sure that the color is mixed properly. Another feature is, each luminaire has removable end panels, so it can be mounted continuously without gaps to produce uniform and continuous light.
