As a part of the new internal lighting system at Nidaros domkirke [Nidaros Cathedral], moveable floodlights will be procured for the main room of the cathedral, for lighting of different types of events in the cathedral.
The Nidaros Cathedral is registered as an automatically listed cultural heritage. Due to the building's listing status and its cultural monument and symbolic values, there are very restricted requirements for the measures and visual changes that are allowed on the building. This result in restricted mounting opportunities for the lighting system, in addition to a requirement for hiding as much as possible of the lighting fittings from the Cathedral's main room. Stringent demands are made for the size, the brightness and the stability of the mounting devices and the design of fittings, as a lot of the equipment must be placed in great heights above the audience.

The current lighting in the Nidaros cathedral no longer meets functional requirements and is characterized by lack of functionality. There is a lack of lighting that highlights the architecture that also can be used in connection with various concerts and events.
This applies particularly to TV transmissions. Rigging for lighting these transmissions are very expensive and time consuming as the current lighting is in general of very poor quality. This rigging also results in considerable wear to the building's interior.
Fear of damages and accidents related to temporary lighting systems outside the Nidaros Cathedral's control is currently great.
