Sammanfattning

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.
