BELID LIGHTING GROUP- Supporting Ågrenska in the Transitioning to Sustainable Lighting
Since last year, mercury-containing light sources have been banned in the EU, leading to a transition towards more efficient and energy-saving alternatives across the country. As part of this transition, we have initiated a charity project in collaboration with Ågrenska, a national competence center for individuals with special health conditions and disabilities. The project aims to support Ågrenska in replacing or renewing nearly 1,000 fixtures with more sustainable alternatives.

Tobias Laarmå - New Product Development Manager
For a couple of months, Tobias Laarmå has been the new product development manager at Belid Lighting Group. Tobias has solid experience in the industry and most recently comes from Global Lighting Consulting where he worked with product development and before that as product manager at Ateljé Lyktan. We asked three quick questions to hear Tobias' view on trends and what's going on both in the industry and at Belid Lighting Group.
What trends do you see in the lighting industry in general?
Trends come and go, but above all we have a shift in both technology and awareness of environmental issues where recycled materials and a circular approach to product development are here to stay. Ever since LED came out over ten years ago, the design of lamps has changed in parallel. With a smaller light source, the luminaires also became slimmer - but now I think I see a backlash to this with ever larger screens and shapes. Offices are increasingly being furnished like a living room, it should be cozy - without losing good function. We also increasingly see renewable materials such as wood and recycled aluminium.
What's up at Belid Lighting Group?
There is a lot going on in Varberg now. This autumn, we launched a collaboration with Thomas Sandell, who developed a new series of outdoor lighting for Belid. We are also growing in the so-called professional market, with lighting for public environments. In November we have e.g. delivered lighting to the new hotel Jacy'z in Gothenburg. This is a segment where we have fantastic conditions with factory and production only a stone's throw from the office. We can produce customized lighting, completely according to need and minimize the risk of overproduction.
What attracted you most about the new service?
I probably have to say the manufacturing at home - with a factory only a few meters from the office in Varberg. This creates both opportunities and is just right in time, from the perspective of sustainability and the logistics aspect in mind. It is truly a privilege to be able to look into the factory and follow the products from idea to finished fixture at such close range.
