It began with an idea of how to preserve light quality and performance while significantly reducing the climate footprint. Now, the result of that idea is mounted in the ceiling, illuminating an office in one of Nyfosa’s properties. The installation is Lumine North’s first completed customer project.
– We are proud and delighted to carry out the first project with Nyfosa. It is a confirmation of the value we create for property owners. The performance holds up, the climate benefits are substantial, and the product contributes to improved climate reporting, says Jacqueline Hedin, CEO and co-founder of Lumine North.
– When Lumine North showed us their luminaire at the prototype stage, we immediately saw the potential. The technology was impressive, and we looked forward to replacing traditionally produced luminaires made of aluminum and sheet metal with luminaires made from cellulose. The focus on locally produced and sustainable materials fits very well with Nyfosa’s vision for the future, says Stefan Larsson, Technical Property Manager at Nyfosa.
Lumine North’s LED technology makes it possible to replace aluminum housings with a chassis made from bio-based cellulose. This material shift reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 95–99 percent. The first product is a recessed ceiling panel.
The panel weighs less than conventional solutions while maintaining high performance and an even light distribution. The panels are manufactured and produced in Värmland, using biomaterials from Swedish forests and lighting components optimized in the company’s own laboratory.
– They are much more comfortable to work with and easy to carry thanks to the low weight. The light is very pleasant, and I like the flexibility in how you can adjust the light color, says the first installer on the project.
