Taking inspiration from the beautiful Nordic light, we created Vialume 1 – Fagerhult’s first self-manufactured post top luminaire for city streets, smaller roads and car parks. After being very well received, the family is now being expanded with several variations on the Nordic classic. 

The Vialume post top luminaire is characterised by a soft, organic shape with simple lines, which link it to Nordic design tradition. The timeless, stylish design enhances the area during the daytime and provides brilliant lighting in the dark of night. Vialume is, quite simply, a luminaire which is equally well-suited to classic surroundings as it is to modern city environments.

Here at Fagerhult, visual comfort means that light should be a positive experience – both for those seeing the light from a distance and those in the light. Using Fagerhult’s specially developed AGC (Advanced Glare Control) lenses, we have succeeded in minimising glare and ensuring good uniformity.

The lenses are extra-large and are tightly placed in a single luminous cluster – a design which optimises visual comfort. Furthermore, the lenses are recessed into the luminaire to minimise glare, and the light cluster illuminates the inner edge of the light aperture – an elegant effect which makes the luminaire visible from a distance and provides a visual guidance. 

In lighting technology terms, Vialume is optimised in line with the latest lighting standard requirements, and you can choose from several different lenses with various light distribution. They are adapted for different areas of application – from roads, streets, parking lots, footpaths and bicycle paths.

Some of the primary parameters for which our AGC (Advanced Glare Control) lenses are optimised include maximum post distance, maximum light within a work area, maximum luminosity, and maximum glare reduction – for given road conditions.

The luminous flux in LEDs reduces over time. A new diode emits more light than a diode that has been in use for a while. And that is why CLO (Constant Light Output) is used in Vialume. This means the driver is programmed to supply less power at the beginning of the service lifetime and more at the end of the service lifetime. The luminous flux remains constant, providing huge potential for energy savings.

Using night-time dimming, major energy savings can be made without switching off the light. Vialume offers various versions of night-time dimming, which means that the light level is adjusted down to 50 per cent for a certain number of predetermined hours before then returning to full level. This gives an energy saving of up to 25 per cent without sacrificing the sense of security or visual comfort.

Different projects have different requirements. Therefore, the various Vialume post top luminaires can easily be customised as regards to luminous flux, colour temperature, cables and other factors that could have a significant effect on the functionality of an installation. Or why not choose a unique luminaire colour?

Fagerhult's extensive knowledge of lighting means we can make project customisations suited to your needs – with delivery assurance of the highest degree.
