Millions of fluorescent luminaires are phased out – updated AllFive offers highest energy efficiency
As all conventional fluorescent tubes within the EU region are to be replaced with high-quality LEDs, one specific luminaire stands out. With an updated – and future-proof – version of AllFive, Fagerhult is launching a highly energy-efficient IP44 luminaire at just the right time.
Being one of Fagerhult's best-selling and most appreciated universal luminaires, AllFive has lit up storage rooms, corridors, and garages for decades. With long-term efficiency and quality in absolute focus, we have now put the archetypal luminaire in a new light.
“The launch comes at exactly the right time, as all fluorescent tubes are to be phased out, along with high energy costs. Replacing our previous fluorescent tube version of AllFive with an AllFive LED the energy saving is 53%. By just adding lighting control, you can save 79% energy in corridors and up to 95% in garages,” says Christer Liljegren, Product and Application Manager at Fagerhult.
Easier installation
The luminaire is thoroughly optimized and is now available in three lengths (600, 1200 and 1500 mm). Its new design also makes it exceptionally easy to install; the end-cap opens with a push, the louvre is easy to release, and the luminaire is connected in just a few simple steps. The cable entry is integrated into the molding of the end-cap and the location of the keyholes makes it easy to replace existing fluorescent lamp luminaires with similar c/c dimensions.
“We have done our utmost to make AllFive even easier to handle, from installation through possible renovations to future component replacements. That makes it a good investment both today and, in the future,” says Christer Liljegren.
Good light for everyone, always
AllFive has a carefully worked-out micro-prismatic louvre, providing a pleasant and subdued light. The luminaire is particularly suitable for spaces used less regularly or where daylight will not reach. Regardless of the application there are now even greater possibilities for using lighting controls to save energy.
“With our wireless Plug and Play system Organic Response, AllFive can be effectively controlled via the same lighting control system as any other lighting. You’ll get the right amount of light at the right place when needed.” concludes Christer Liljegren.

Lukke ringen – og forlenge armaturens livssyklus
Konseptet med å gjenoppbygge gamle armaturer for å spare materiale og energi, blir stadig mer populært. Av og til trengs det bare litt kjærlighet og teknisk kunnskap for å få en utdatert armatur til å skinne igjen. Vi møtte Emma Hallman, Mathilda Holl og Andreas Ekslätt, teamet bak ReLight hos Fagerhult, for å snakke om utfordringene med å finne løsninger som tar gamle armaturer inn i fremtiden. Hos Fagerhult preges alt arbeid av en dypt forankret innovasjonskultur. Det kan hende det skyldes grunnleggeren Bertil Svenssons fokus på å løse utfordringer med til tider begrensede midler – og nysgjerrighet og engasjement. I motsetning til i dag er det ikke sikkert at bærekraft var et kjent begrep på den tiden. Men å bruke ressursene våre på en bevisst måte og ha som mål å levere høy kvalitet har alltid kjennetegnet Fagerhult. I dag har et nytt fokus på sirkularitet fått oss til å tenke nytt og gjort oss bevisste på å finne løsninger som varer lenge. Fagerhults Bespoke Lighting Solutions-avdeling (BLS) har utviklet unike armaturer og tilpassede løsninger i mange år. Derfor er vi godt kjent med å renovere og oppdatere gamle armaturer. Men målet om å gjenbruke og gjenoppbygge gamle armaturer for å redusere klimapåvirkningen har økt over tid. I denne prosessen blir eldre design og teknologi oppdatert ved hjelp av moderne løsninger for å dekke morgendagens krav. Sitat ReLight de gamle armaturene dine For ReLight-teamet hos Fagerhult finnes det ingen uvanlige spørsmål eller umulige løsninger. Hver eneste dag håndterer de forespørsler om spesialutviklede belysningsløsninger for prosjekter fra Fagerhults markeder. Prosessen er kompleks, men over tid har de funnet ut at enkelte prosjekter er perfekte for å gjenbruke gamle armaturer i stedet for å investere i nye. «For oss er kjernen i alle ReLight-prosjekter armaturens kvaliteter når det gjelder belysningskomfort, sikkerhet og estetikk. Ved forespørsel beregner vi også for å finne ut om – og hvor mye – vi kan redusere armaturens totale klimapåvirkning gjennom livssyklusen.», sier Emma Hallman. I ReLight er det en uttalt vilje til å spare materialer og energi, og til å gjøre en innsats for miljøet ved å oppdatere armaturene. Men ikke alle gamle armaturer kan få evig liv. Noen er utdaterte og bør resirkuleres i stedet for å renoveres. Img «Hvis omstendighetene ikke oppfyller kravene våre og armaturene ikke kan gjenoppbygges, går vi ikke videre med prosjektet. Vi går aldri på akkord med armaturens belysningskomfort, kvalitet, sikkerhet eller uttrykk hvis vi ikke kan oppnå en førsteklasses løsning», sier Emma Hallman. Hos Fagerhult er sikkerhet og kvalitet de røde trådene som forbinder alle produkter. Og ReLight er intet unntak. Gjennom hele prosessen er CE-merking og testing avgjørende faktorer. «For å sikre den totale kvaliteten er den oppdaterte armaturen CE-merket i sin helhet før levering. Vi ønsker også å gjøre installasjonen på stedet både smidig og rask, og det nye settet er så nær en komplett armatur som mulig», sier Andreas Ekslätt, Design Engineer.
New technology and intelligent control pave the way for tomorrow's outdoor lighting
All electric light is produced by - and for - humans. Research is now focusing on some important questions: Is our lighting of outdoor environments at the expense of other species? And how can we create a safe environment in balance with the ecosystem and with minimal light pollution? Outdoor lighting prolongs the day and is needed to provide a sense of safety and security, and to create attractive environments even when it is dark. However, light that is improperly directed, used at the wrong time of day, or lacks purpose can be considered light pollution. In addition, it is a waste of energy, and can negatively affect human well-being and animal habitats. “We are in the midst of a rapid development, where biodiversity is threatened,” says Henrik Sandqvist, Product and Application Manager Outdoor Lighting, at Fagerhult. “This happens largely because of humans, and lighting is a contributing factor. Some animals are attracted to the light and others avoid it, which can create an imbalance in the ecosystem.” HENRIK SANDQVIST, PRODUCT AND APPLICATION MANAGER OUTDOOR LIGHTING AT FAGERHULT Today, however, there are limited standards stipulating which lighting should be used where and when. Bioinclusive Lighting involves providing light that is good for people’s well-being and urban development – with as little impact on biodiversity as possible. “As a luminaire manufacturer, we are aware that we contribute to the increase in the amount of light. That is why we can also be part of the solution. We follow the research and guiding standards, and we listen to those who know more than we do. We want to stay ahead, and we always have Bioinclusive Lighting in mind in our product development. Our luminaire Evolume 1 has also been used in a joint study run by the University of Gävle and RISE, and we are happy to collaborate with others to find tomorrow’s solutions.” A darker light environment Around 80 percent of the world’s population cannot see a starry night sky. The reason is ‘skyglow’, which is caused by artificial light shining into the sky. The phenomenon is difficult to measure, but like other light pollution, it can have negative effects on humans, animals, and the environment. “Just as we turn off the lights when we leave a room, outdoor lighting should also be turned off or dimmed when people are no longer in the vicinity. Here it becomes very clear that the right light, in the right place, and at the right time plays an important role.” Henrik Sandqvist sitat Since lighting can affect species’ habitats, the ecosystem needs greater consideration in lighting design. When replacing or installing new lighting, it is important to ask: What is the purpose of the lighting? How does it affect the environment, people, animals and nature? “Our basic idea is that all lighting must have a purpose, and the right character and strength. The amount of light must be commensurate, and it must only directed where it is needed. Since the nature of light is governed by its spectral distribution, we want to avoid light in the lower wavelengths. The general recommendation is therefore to use as warm a light as possible. ANNIKA JÄGERBRAND (UNIVERSITY OF GÄVLE), MARIA NILSSON TENGELIN (RISE) AND HENRIK SANDQVIST (FAGERHULT). Adaptive lighting can also adjust the light intensity and spectral distribution, and time control and presence control enable lighting precisely when needed. “This is nothing new, and nothing we will solve today. But a good place to start is to use a lighting designer with good knowledge of outdoor lighting and who considers the whole when devising a solution. We will continue to focus on finding an inclusive approach to create light for people that is in balance with the ecosystem,” concludes Henrik Sandqvist. Product in focus: Evolume The Evolume luminaire series has good light comfort, and is now available with more options and colour temperatures: 2700K, 2200K and PC Amber as well as adaptive light. This allows the intensity, wavelength distribution, and light distribution to be adapted based on need, time, and presence, and with more consideration for animals and nature.
