Belysningspunkt

Belysningspunkt is a term used in Swedish electrical planning to describe a point in an installation from which a luminaire is supplied. It designates both the physical location where a light fixture is mounted and the electrical connection that feeds it. A belysningspunkt can refer to a single luminaire or a location where multiple luminaires share a common supply point.

In planning and documentation, belysningspunkter are marked on floor plans and electrical drawings. Each point is typically labeled with a unique identifier, the intended fixture type, the circuit, and any switches or control devices that operate it. The concept helps determine required cable routing, voltage supply, control strategies, and maintenance responsibilities.

Technically, a belysningspunkt comprises the luminaire, the connecting wiring, and usually a switch or control element; it may also include a junction box or a small control gear. In practice, lighting points in a circuit are wired in parallel to ensure consistent voltage across fixtures, and the belysningsspunkt is the reference for installation, testing, and commissioning.

Outdoor belysningspunkter require weatherproofing and appropriate protection ratings, while indoor points focus on accessibility, safety, and alignment with interior lighting goals. The term is used across building services, including architecture, electrical engineering, and facility management, and is essential for accurate planning, budgeting, and compliance with applicable standards and regulations.
