Stadler Rail Valencia lighting of the new TRAM of line 9 in Alicante

TRAM lighting

DOOR lights with Green / red / white modes

Bimodal trains, capable of operating as a train and as a tram, with electricity or fuel depending on the section, and adapted to the standards applied by Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat (FGV) in the current 4100 series convoys. These are the new trains -Tram that the multinational Stadler is going to start manufacturing at its plant in Albuixech, in Valencia, so that they will run from 2019 on Line 9 of the Alicante Tram, which connects Benidorm with Dénia.

The challenge was to design luminaires that were flexible in their installation, that provided high illuminance and reduced maintenance costs.

All this taking into account all railway regulations and the use of high quality materials approved for the passenger transport sector.

Numerous lighting studies were carried out in the preliminary project, to take into account that the luminaires could be seen without glare, and that they offered a high level of comfort. Especially the "door lights" installed on the door frames and that are distinguished by the fact that they offer visual information to passengers.

Through a system of colors and light bursts, it is warned that the door is opening (green colour), closing (red colour)... or in the event of circulation, it starts to act like the rest of the luminaires.

All details have been taken into account, carrying out studies of different passenger heights and UGR levels. “Stadler has taken special care in both the exterior and interior design of the vehicle , adapting it to the needs of the customer and the environment in which it will circulate. Other important aspects of the design are safety and a high level of comfort for both passengers and driver.”

The holders of the luminaires, MAIN LIGHT and DOOR LIGHT, allow them to be moved in the vertical and horizontal axes, and thus remain perfectly flush with the ceiling. Being discreetly fixed to the roof of the TRAM Alicante, and with their rounded shapes they give a very modern look to the interior space of the cars.

In the driver's cabin it has been decided to use the GOTA spot. It is a spot that incorporates our patented focusable technology, and that allows the adaptation of the light beam, managing to illuminate exactly the pilot's control panels. Together with its rotability, it is a spot that offers us high versatility.
