Tylö
Sauna Lighting
Tylö AB is the leading manufactor of sauna cabins in Europe, but there is a lack
of a sauna lightning produced by Tylö. The project of developing a new sauna
lightning series was assigned two students at the developmentengineering
program at Halmstad University. The main problem with lightning in the sauna
is the heat and security aspect. The selection fell on LED technology as the
lightning source, thanks to its small measures and low heat emission.
The work of constructing of a lightning armature which the capability of cooling
down the LED lightning was carried out during autumn ?06 and spring ?07. The
project resulted in a brand new concept of sauna lightning, the usage of LED
technology in the sauna have opened up new possibilities for designed sauna
lightning. The lightning concept replaces an ordinary wooden panel in the
sealing, the only visible part is the glass cover. By using a smart deign combined
with extrusion of aluminum a profile only 12 millimeters thick that`s suitable
for mounting in the sauna sealing was constructed. The construction
guarantees an efficient cooling and sufficient lightning.
The project resulted in a patented and design patented product. The project
has 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 state
to a market introduction in end of 2007.
