Tylö
Sauna Lighting
Tylö AB is the leading manufactor of sauna cabins in Europe, but there is a lackof a sauna lightning produced by Tylö. The project of developing a new saunalightning series was assigned two students at the developmentengineeringprogram at Halmstad University. The main problem with lightning in the saunais the heat and security aspect. The selection fell on LED technology as thelightning source, thanks to its small measures and low heat emission.The work of constructing of a lightning armature which the capability of coolingdown the LED lightning was carried out during autumn ?06 and spring ?07. Theproject resulted in a brand new concept of sauna lightning, the usage of LEDtechnology in the sauna have opened up new possibilities for designed saunalightning. The lightning concept replaces an ordinary wooden panel in thesealing, the only visible part is the glass cover. By using a smart deign combinedwith extrusion of aluminum a profile only 12 millimeters thick that`s suitablefor mounting in the sauna sealing was constructed. The constructionguarantees an efficient cooling and sufficient lightning.The project resulted in a patented and design patented product. The projecthas further more resulted in a employment at Tylö AB for the project members.The purpose with the employment is to take the product from a concept stateto a market introduction in end of 2007.
