Yesterday we celebrated the spring solstice in the best way. International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) and Women in Lighting hooked up and together to arrange the Stockholm edition of the event #chasethedark. We had the honor of hosting the event and it turned into a great evening filled with passion for lighting. The task of the evening was to make candle holders from upcykled materials and this was a task that got us all going. Years of experience in lighting came to good use, you can see some great examples of creations in the photos. Thanks everyone who joined and especially to Beata Denton and Iris Molendijk for the initiative.

At the Ljusexpo, you will find us alongside all of Sweden's leading lighting providers. Welcome to discuss lighting and light control and browse through our latest news. The exhibition is open to the public on September 6th from 10am to 1:30pm, and thereafter for those who participate in the annual industry event, Ljusdagen. Entrance to Mälarsalen is located at Söder Mälarstrand 29, 7th floor, in Stockholm.

They say time flies when you are having fun and in our partnership with Lumenpulse that is true. Since our first project in 2012 we have sold over ten thousends of Lumenbeams, Lumenfacades, Lumencoves och Lumendomes. They are installed in everything fro railwaystations to pieces of art and  in almost all projects we have worked with a Lightingdesigner with a strong vision. This has given us a lot of experience and many great project pictures that we would like to share. We are looking forward to 10 new years with these great productfamilies that never stops evolving.

Varberg stad  med Energibolaget Varberg Energi har satsat på ett ljusevenemang,  "Mys och Rys", för att ge Varbergsborna en anledning att ge sig ut under de mörka novemberkvällarna. På bilden ses Varbergs Sparbank upplyst av 8 st Lumenbeam Grande RGB och styrda via en Pharos LPC1. Evenemanget pågår under hela vecka 44 så ta chansen om du befinner dig i närheten.

The workshop in Aligsås is over and we are all invited to share the result. Here is a sample of what there is to experience, site 2 with Rodrigo Muro as Lighting designer and products from Lumenpulse. If you like Lighting it is well worth a detour.

Designer Alexander Lervik and artist Eva Dahlgren invites you to a universe with new design and music. Exhibition at "designgalleriet" in Stockholm opens 7th february and is open until 1st march. Stockholm Lighting sponsors lighting and controls. 

The designers of the festival are  looking for site-specific outdoor installations, that deal with Tartu city, its forgotten spaces, its history, its citizens. We are looking forward to see new solutions for old places – direct light to non-places. Stockholm Lighting sponsors the lights for the ruins of the old cathedral.

Thank You for a fantastic night!

Friday, December 5th is a day we will never forget in Stockholm Lighting Company. Dr. Shuji Nakamura, the 2014 Nobel Laureate in Physics, visited us in the office and talked about his research on Gan-on Gan diodes and the birth of the blue diode. We thank Dr. Nakamura for giving us this opportunity and, above all, for all the work he put in to enable that diodes can now be used as energy-efficient light sources. We promise to continue to spread the knowledge of LED lights in our part of the world.

This years "lighting day" became a  great industry party with creative meetings with colleagues, customers and parteners. The highlight was like always the distribution of this year's Light Price. We had obviously hoped that Sölvesborg bridge would win as  we delivered fixtures, controllers and a lot of wonderful programming hours. But this year it was not our year and instead we saw Stockholm Library as a very worthy winner. Congratulations Ljusarkitektur 

November and December are light festivals time. Most recently it was the Norway celebrating light in Slemmestad outside Oslo. Lighting Award 2013 was presented by Lyskultur Norway's best projects.  SLC lys Norway did with light designers Gard Gitlestad and Josefine Walle Nergård a light installation at the old concrete factory from the last century that has become the subject of cultural initiatives. We are delighted to be a part of this development and, together with Lumenpulse and EcoSense illuminate these historic sites. Luminaires used is Lumenbeam RGBW, Lumenfacade RGBW and EcoSense Bullet.

The lighting of the fairytale Thumbelina - a tiny girl born from a magic grain of wheat, and the sometimes nasty adventure begins one night when she was abducted by a toad - has become an exciting light room which occupies a big part of the block Färgaregatan. Lighting designer is Johan Moritz employed as ljusdeisgner the City of Malmö. Johan also holds lectures at universities, creates events and workshop leader. He collaborates with architects, landscape architects and artists, and his motto as a lighting designer is: to share with others gives more in return than can be imagined. Fixtures: Lumenfacade. Controls: Pharos LPC 1, Programming: Jimmie Lundström

 A llittle girl walks out barefoot on new years eve to sell matches, but not a single person has the time or need to buy some of her.

Fixtures: Lumenbeam and Lumenfacade by Lumenpulse. Controlsystem: Pharos LPC1. Programming: Fredrik Winqvist

A study of light phenomena, An experiment with how light refracts and light temperatures. The result is a prototype. ONE DAY a fictitious window that generates light of a day. It is an ongoing project where we record a days light temperatures through photography. A project where we try to mimic nature.Photographer : Pontus Lindvall
