Since autumn is already here and Christmas is waiting around the corner, Campus Service draws attention to the rules for the use of light at the university. This year there are no restrictions on the use of light chains on Christmas trees and the like, but on the other hand, it is not allowed to use candles.

To make the use of lights and light chains as energy-friendly as possible, you can use LED lights with a low wattage, and it is also important to pay attention to when and how often the lights are switched on. Read more good advice for energy-friendly Christmas lighting here (in Danish).
