Doing better and more – with less energy. Streamer Mini leads the way to future retail solutions
Streamer Mini is another step in Fagerhult’s journey towards a more sustainable future. Reducing embodied carbon, increasing the operational efficiencies, enhancing the lit effect, and future-proofing the lighting design — the launch of Streamer Mini includes the complete package.
Minimising consumption without compromising on quality or performance is the guiding principle throughout the development of the spotlight Streamer Mini.
“With Streamer Mini, we challenged ourselves to take each technical part to the next level. The result is refinement in every aspect,” says Peter Robertsson, Product and Application Manager at Fagerhult.
Compared to earlier versions of LED technology (of 100llm/w or 120llm/w), Streamer Mini will generate the same illumination levels but use up to 50 % less energy to achieve it.
“Efficient energy usage is a crucial aspect of sustainable design, both environmentally and economically. In this regard Streamer Mini is truly peerless, delivering efficiencies more than 150llm/w,” says Peter Robertsson.
Higher flexibility, more possibilities
Streamer Mini utilises the latest CRI 90, 3000K BBBL LED chips and will perfectly render colours across the entire spectrum, adapted specifically to bring a crispness to whites. This ensures colour authenticity to both the interior and merchandise while still providing market leading efficiency.
“Accurately reflecting colours with lighting has traditionally required compromise. High colour rending was at the expense of efficiency and warm colour temperatures often made whites appear dull,” Peter Robertsson continues.
At the same time Streamer Mini now takes the concept of spotlight flexibility to the next level. With a unique 4-step dip switch the output is adaptable from 1300 up to 2469 lm simply by flicking a switch on the driver.
“The dip switch allows you to change the ambience by adapting the balance between contrast and uniformity or reduce the output to minimise energy consumption. This means you can keep your Streamer Mini with you when changing your store design, tenant or moving location,” says Peter Robertsson.

Fagerhult explores circular process in aluminium recycling pilot project
In a pilot project, Fagerhult and Hydro Extrusion Sweden have explored circular processes for the reuse of aluminium – focusing on efficiency and preserved material properties. With the goal of reusing high-quality, extruded aluminium from end-of-life luminaires in the future, Fagerhult, together with Hydro, has explored the possibility of circular models in a pilot project.“Many of our luminaires have an aluminium body, and we want to ensure that they can be optimally recycled without losing the quality or properties of the material. In collaboration with Hydro Extrusion Sweden, we are now exploring how we can close the loop,” says Niclas Thulin, Head of Sustainability at Fagerhult.Recycling in a new lightThe pilot project was initiated in connection with Norwegian Property's ambition to achieve more efficient energy use at Snarøyveien 30 in Oslo. Fagerhult then saw an opportunity to reclaim a large number of Notor luminaires, and the possibilities of recycling and circular processes were explored.“Reuse was not possible, but since there were a larger number of luminaires, we wanted to make the best use of the material,” explains Niclas Thulin. “When extruded aluminium luminaires are recycled, it is common for the material’s properties to undergo downgrading, and then be used in die casting, for example. In this project, we wanted to close the loop and ensure the qualities of the material by allowing the original producer to process the material again. The pilot project resulted in the aluminium being melted down and reshaped, Niclas Thulin continues. Throughout the pilot project, the focus has been on circular processes and sustainable innovations. The goal has been to take new steps beyond the norm and the expected – and to overcome the major challenge of recycling used extruded aluminium – while preserving material properties.“Aluminium is a uniquely durable metal that can be recycled almost endlessly, but like all materials, it needs to be handled responsibly,” says Kristian Frisk, Account Manager at Hydro Extrusion Sweden. “Together, we were now able to recycle the equivalent of 1,300 kg of aluminium in the pilot project, but the big gain is the insights we will take to future projects.”Long-term solutionsWith a long-term perspective and an aspiration to contribute to sustainable development, Fagerhult has pushed the boundaries of what was previously possible and taken a major step towards meeting the demand for new circular solutions.“Together with Hydro Extrusion Sweden, we have closed the chain and demonstrated that it is possible to create new circular processes where all our aluminium luminaires can be handled circularly in the future,” concludes Thulin.![Sim Sala BIM!
