New, energy-efficient luminaire assortment for grocery stores
Energy efficiency is one of the most important requirements of grocery stores, since facilities are often quite large and opening hours are typically long. But in addition to that, there is a desire for features that enhance the appearance of foods and create a pleasant atmosphere for customers.
“We’ve been striving for quite some time to offer a complete solution, which meets all the unique requirements of grocery stores. During the development process, we’ve given special consideration to flexibility and lighting control, for example. My hope is that we will exceed our customers’ expectations, by offering them precisely the solution they desire for their grocery stores,” says Monica Weinizt, Managing Director at Fagerhult Retail.
With iTrack, Fagerhult’s flexible track lighting system, you can control the lighting in a variety of ways, e.g. with sensors or by setting the time span when you want a particular luminaire to be on. You can also combine general lighting and accent lighting with DALI, emergency lighting and loudspeakers, all in the same track lighting system. Together with iTrack Line LED, the latest addition to the iTrack product line, it is now possible to control the entire store and achieve major energy savings. iTrack Line LED is a linear luminaire, without any separate adaptors, resulting in a sleek, modern design.
The right lighting solution for food products is particularly important, since it can alter perception and make items look even more appetizing. Fagerhult has spotlights (Marathon Rich, Glow, Zone Evo Rich and Glow) that have been specially designed to intensify the vivid colours of fruits, vegetables and other fresh foods. Rich luminaires are equipped with an LED module that specifically boosts reds and blues. This makes them optimal for deli and seafood, since the red shades in meat, salmon and shellfish are enhanced, as well as the silvery-blue shades in other types of fish, giving them a very fresh appearance. Glow luminaires are strong in the warm coloured spectrum, making them particularly suitable for breads, cheeses, fruits and vegetables. These are available as both recessed and track mounted spotlights. They can also be installed together with spotlights that have conventional LED modules.
Multilume Function LED provides comfortable, general lighting that is energy-efficient, with minimal glare. Beta reflector louvre ensures that light is directed specifically at the products on the shelves, rather than the floor. These luminaires are designed for easy installation in functional ceilings or on a track.
“iTrack Line LED and Multilume Function LED expand our offering to grocery stores. We’ve designed luminaires that provide optimal, energy-efficient lighting in grocery stores, while enhancing the appearance of products. With these products, along with our pendant luminaires and new assortment of spotlights, we are able to offer our customers a complete solution that meets all of their needs. In addition, we can now reduce the energy use in stores by up to 50%,” says Andreas Bernet, Product and Application Manager at Fagerhult Retail.

Fagerhult’s medical supply units approved under the Medical Device Regulation
Fagerhult’s medical supply units are now approved under the new Medical Device Regulation (MDR). ”We see the benefit of offering our customers products that are already tailored to meet future requirements,” says Lars Handberg, Technical Product Manager for medical supply units. The former Medical Device Directive (MDD) has been replaced by the new Medical Device Regulation (MDR). Suppliers must complete the transition by 31 December 2028 at the latest. Fagerhult is already delivering its medical supply units in full compliance with MDR. ”Fagerhult began early to ensure our documentation and processes were aligned with the new regulation MDR. As a result, Fagerhult’s units already meet the requirements of MDR 2017/745, Article 22,” says Lars Handberg. Img As a consequence of this, the classic CE marking is removed. The reason is that according to the regulation, if you choose to follow Article 22, modular products - the ward panels should not be provided with an additional CE mark, (Article 22, Section 5) beacuse the included components are already CE marked. ”This doesn’t impact the functionality or safety of our products. It is simply a result of the legal framework. Our medical supply units comply with product standards and remain just as safe as before. However, it’s worth noting this in case anyone wonders why the CE marking is no longer present on the new products being delivered”, Lars Handberg explains.
Closing the loop – and extending the lifecycle of luminaires
The concept of rebuilding old luminaires to save material and energy is growing. Sometimes, all an outdated luminaire needs to shine bright again is some tender love and engineering skills. We met Emma Hallman, Mathilda Holl and Andreas Ekslätt, the team behind ReLight at Fagerhult, to discuss the challenges of finding solutions that will take old luminaires into the future. At Fagerhult, a deeply rooted innovation culture influences all aspects of work. Possibly, it springs from the founder Bertil Svensson's mindset of solving problems with sometimes small means – and curiosity and dedication. Unlike today, sustainability may not have been a buzzword back then. However, using our resources consciously and striving for high quality have always been cornerstones for Fagerhult. Today, a new focus on circularity has urged us to challenge our thinking and makes us conscious of finding long-lasting solutions. Fagerhult's Bespoke Lighting Solutions (BLS) department has developed unique luminaires and adapted solutions for many years. So, refurbishing and updating old luminaires is something familiar to us. However, the ambition to reuse and rebuild old luminaires to lower climate impact has increased over time. In this process, yesterday's design and technology are brought up to speed by today's advances to meet the requirements of tomorrow. Quote ReLight your old luminaires To the ReLight team at Fagerhult, there are no unusual questions or impossible solutions. Daily, they manage inquiries regarding specially developed lighting solutions for projects from Fagerhult's markets. It's a complex process, but over time, they have learnt that some projects are ideal for reusing old luminaires instead of investing in new ones. "To us, the luminaire's qualities in lighting comfort, safety and aesthetics are at the core of every ReLight project. When requested, we also calculate if – and how much – we can reduce the luminaire's total climate impact through its lifecycle." says Emma Hallman. Within ReLight, there is an outspoken will to save materials and energy – and make an environmental effort by updating the luminaires. However, not all old luminaires can live forever; some are outdated and better recycled than refurbished. Img "If the circumstances don't meet our requirements and it doesn't work to rebuild the luminaire, we will not take the project further. We would never compromise on light comfort, quality, safety or the expression of the luminaire if it does not result in a first-class end solution", says Emma Hallman. At Fagerhult, safety and quality are the red threads that combine all products. And ReLight is no exception. Throughout the process, CE-marking and testing are crucial factors. "To ensure the overall quality, the updated luminaire is CE-marked in full before delivery. We also want to make the installation on site both smooth and quick, and the new kit is as close to a complete luminaire as possible," says Andreas Ekslätt, Design Engineer.
