SIMRISHAMN

During 2017 and 2018, the municipality of Simrishamn made a major overlook of their outdoor environment. Three different areas of the municipality are now in new, energy sufficient light.

Tobisviken

The area was originally built in the 50's and was very poorly lit. Few walking paths had lighting, and large areas with parking and mini golf were not illuminated at all, which led to the area not being used after dark. The solution was a complete review of all lighting in the area. The aim was to increase the area's attractiveness even more and to offer a leisure area that feels safe and safe to stay in. We chose a well-balanced mix between low-key lighting on bollards and facades for high posts with good light for road users and cyclists who cross the area.

The port

Thanks to its location at the end of Storgatan, the harbor is a natural part of the city and draws a lot of tourists and visitors. The lack of good lighting made the harbor area, with all the activities, a somewhat difficult place to stay after dark. We chose to replace all luminaires in connection with the Port to Vialume luminaires. Because of the activities in the Port (with lorrys, trucks and other machines) we chose to keep posts at heights from 6 meters upwards. This needed a well-balanced light, without dazzling machine operators or people on foot, who have the harbor as their workplace. 

Bath path

In connection with the implementation of the detailed development plan Tobisvik, we chose to prepare the walking path called Badstigen (Bath path). Badstigen is an 800-meter-long bicycle and walking path, and a part of a national joints. The Bath path was equipped with new lighting and new poles along the entire stretch. We chose Verda without a hat to get a light spread upwards, and to give the distance a greater spatiality. Badstigen is now a well-run path and is available in a completely different way to what it was before. It can now be used as a safe way to travel, by bike or on foot, during all hours of the day, all year around.
