NORKA

Work pits, maintenance workshops, platforms, stations and access routes: The requirements for luminaires for rail and bus operations are many and varied. Depending on the area, lighting is exposed to brake dust, lubricating oils, water or even to destructive behaviour. In addition, there are voltage peaks, strict glare values and other technical challenges and specifications to take into account. Robust and long lasting – both inside and out – is the motto.

LED lighting for platforms and bus stops

Überseequartier underground station features modern, uniform and glare-free LED lighting; the platform is brightly lit to ensure safe navigation and a pleasant environment for passengers. — High-tech and well designed: In underground stations, luminaires have to withstand harsh conditions while providing passengers with pleasant lighting.

Uniform, pleasant lighting for waiting passengers and a high level of glare-free lighting for train drivers: In addition to numerous technical challenges, these are the two key requirements for platform and station illumination. In these areas, good light control and lighting quality ensure optimal results.

In less frequented areas and at times when there is a higher risk of vandalism, impact-resistant luminaires provide safety for both passengers and operators. Special luminaires, known as vandalism-proof luminaires at NORKA, can even withstand a violent attack with a baseball bat. But many standard models also feature a robust design.

High-quality components, a high protection rating and resistant materials mean no repairs or replacements are necessary. They ensure a long service life and long maintenance cycles.

Requirements behind the scenes – factory and maintenance areas

In maintenance areas, illumination also plays a major role. It often gets dirty in work pits. Oil, lubricants or diesel accompany the work processes. To save maintenance costs, very robust luminaires are advisable in these areas. Along with increased resistance to oil and fuel, easy cleaning is also an advantage. Furthermore, good, uniform light is immensely important for any technician, because the slightest damage to vehicles can sometimes have devastating repercussions. A high degree of uniformity also facilitates maintenance work on the sides or roof levels and helps to identify damage.

Lighting control for extra savings

In addition to the energy savings that come just from switching from fluorescent lamps to LED lighting, a lighting control system can help to maximise the savings potential. There is a solution for every size of system, be it individual work pits or the entire hall lighting.

For more convenience

Lighting control is particularly advantageous for large systems. A central control point as well as energy monitoring provide you with a concise overview of the entire lighting system. In the event of a fault, the system can automatically inform you by e-mail. A daylight-dependent control system ensures that only as much energy is consumed as necessary.

Providing illumination expertise for rail transport since 1953

For more than 65 years, we have been producing lighting for all aspects of rail transport. You can count on our decades of experience in the railway sector.

Luminaires: DB version

Originally luminaires “DB version“ have been developed for the use of the Deutsche Bahn (German Railway company), in short “DB”. Therefore these luminaires meet a wide range of European standards required in the railway sector.
