CHURCH LIGHTING IS ABOUT MORE THAN LIGHT

The Church as a Modern Space

Today, churches are not only used for worship but also for concerts, lectures, and community gatherings. This calls for lighting solutions that are functional, atmospheric, and respectful of the architecture.

Light in Dialogue with Architecture

At Okholm Lighting, we always start with the geometry of the space and the reflective properties of the materials. Lighting calculations and dimmable systems ensure that the light can be adapted – whether it is day or night, summer or winter. Daylight is treated as a dynamic part of the overall concept.

Experience Makes the Difference

Church lighting requires special expertise. You cannot simply add wiring to historic walls, and in some cases approval from the National Museum is required. With more than 1,700 church projects, we combine technical know-how with a refined sense of aesthetics to create solutions that balance function and history.

Tailor-Made Solutions

No two churches are the same. Each project is designed to suit the space, its use, and its history:

Faaborg Church – colour-controlled lighting in niches to support concerts and choir performances.
Enghave Church – a flexible solution for diverse activities.
Løgumkloster Church – focus on accurate colour rendering in a historic interior.
Garnisonskirken, Copenhagen – a practical challenge turned into an aesthetic solution.

Lighting That Lasts

We work with high colour rendering and warm colour temperatures between 2700K and 3000K, combined with dimmable systems. The result is lighting that is functional, comfortable, and atmospheric – designed to last for decades.
