Fagerhult x Nobel Week Lights – a partnership highlighting innovation and a brighter future
Ahead of this year’s edition of Nobel Week Lights, Fagerhult becomes Principal Partner of the Nobel Prize Museum’s growing light festival. The collaboration extends over three years and is initiated during Nobel Week, December 2–10, in Stockholm.
Nobel Week Lights is presented by the Nobel Prize Museum and is a tribute through the art of light to the Nobel Prize laureates and their contributions to the greatest benefit to humankind. This year’s light festival takes place at seventeen locations around central Stockholm and is open to the public.
“We look forward to a close collaboration with a focus on light, knowledge, and innovations where people and a sustainable future are in absolute focus,” says Frida Almqvist, Managing Director at Fagerhult Sweden.
A solid shared passion for light and innovation links the partnership between Nobel Week Lights and Fagerhult. The light festival’s creative connection to outstanding research – where people can experience light together – aligns with Fagerhult’s vision of creating light for better living.
“I am delighted we are collaborating with Fagerhult on Nobel Week Lights. They have a great commitment and knowledge about how light affects people's well-being in various environments,” says Erika Lanner, Museum Director at the Nobel Prize Museum.
During the light festival, Swedish and international artists illuminate the December darkness with innovative light installations where unique interpretations convey Nobel Prize laureates and their research. Among this year's artists is Miguel Chevalier, a pioneer within virtual and digital art and one of the world's most prominent artists within lighting design. His work creates a unique experience of light, and he is one of the most significant artists on the contemporary scene.
“Being part of Nobel Week Lights is truly a great honor. We want to establish strong, international networks where we can collaborate around how to create a more sustainable future,” says Frida Almqvist, Managing Director at Fagerhult Sweden.
Nobel Week Lights is open to the public and attracts a large international audience. It offers 60 guided tours to experience large-scale public light art around Stockholm.
“The light festival is a fantastic opportunity to participate in science and culture when Stockholm is at its darkest,” says Erika Lanner, Museum Director at the Nobel Prize Museum.

Fagerhult secures connected lighting under new cybersecurity law – becomes part of CE marking
Cybersecurity is an important and highly relevant issue today Starting August 1, 2025, a new requirement for connected products will take effect. Fagerhult now secures all products – and implements the requirement in CE marking. Daniel Järpehult is Technical Laboratory Manager, and responsible for CE marking of Fagerhult products: “Today, disruptions and intrusions are part of everyday life and we need to collectively take action to increase the cybersecurity of connected products and societal functions. “For Fagerhult, it involves preventing lighting control systems from being subjected to overload attacks or unauthorised individuals taking over the product’s functions.” New directives in progress The European Commission has developed a new and comprehensive framework on cybersecurity. However, a changing global situation and an increased risk of cyberattacks have accelerated the process. Requirements for connected products have therefore been added to the current Radio Equipment Directive (RED). Quote block - Daniel For Fagerhult, the new directives entail active and ongoing work on cybersecurity and that the new standard is implemented in the products’ CE marking. The regulatory framework coming into force in August 2025 falls under RED and is temporary, which means that it does not cover all aspects of cybersecurity. In December 2027, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) — a framework introducing more comprehensive cybersecurity requirements — will come into effect. It will be broader in scope and include mandatory reporting obligations for disruptions, intrusions, or vulnerabilities, as well as the possibility of administrative fines for non-compliance. “Cybersecurity will be extremely important in the future, for society and for us. We are working on the basis of the rules coming into force this year, and are following developments to ensure that our products have a high and adequate level of security.” What will apply from August 1, 2025? All Fagerhult products that are subject to cybersecurity requirements must meet the new RED requirements. The CE marking ensures that the components used meet these requirements. Organic Response and City Grid are used for Fagerhult’s smart systems. Their components and systems are subject to and must meet EU cybersecurity requirements. Fagerhult’s products will be CE marked according to these requirements from August 1, 2025.
