Power, lighting and temporary electrical installations

Consider which electrical appliances and equipment will be used, e.g. lights, sound equipment, screens and computers.

If you are in doubt about whether a room/area has sufficient power capacity, Technical Services can help calculate your requirements and ensure that adequate power is available.

Send an email to 8888@sdu.dk and specify the event name, which equipment is expected to require power, the room/area and the period during which the power will be needed.

At SDU, there are many different types of lighting control in the various rooms. In some rooms, you can turn lights on/off using regular switches. In others, the brightness can be turned up and down, and some have automatic control based on daylight entering the room. Make sure to check the facilities well in advance of your event if you need to be able to adjust the lighting during your event.

Please note that in some areas, the lighting changes outside normal working hours, usually after 18:00. In such cases, the lights may automatically switch off, dim or be motion-activated.

If you are in doubt or have specific requirements for lighting control, contact Technical Services to discuss your options. Send an email to 8888@sdu.dk and specify the event name, the venue/area, the required lighting control and the period during which the lighting control will be needed.

If your event requires temporary electrical installations, Technical Services can establish these. This includes setting up additional outlets, extension cables and power distribution devices.

Making temporary electrical installations is a resource-intensive task, so make sure to assess whether they are needed in the first place. For example, if you need to set up stands for your event, consider whether the duration of the event and the type of electronic equipment used on the stand require a fixed power supply. Most computers and tablets today can run for many hours on battery power if they are fully charged from the start.

If you are in doubt, Technical Services can help assess the scope and possibilities. Send an email to 8888@sdu.dk and specify the event name, which equipment is expected to require power, the room/area and the period during which the power will be needed.
