Interior Lighting

Interior Lighting for Trains, Trams and Metros

When Teknoware delivers interior lighting, we are delivering a promise that passengers will be able to see clearly and feel at ease in their surroundings. Areas with dim or inadequate lighting on a train may make passengers feel unsafe—but when sufficient light is available throughout the whole train, a journey will feel safer and more comfortable.

Teknoware has an extensive track record of providing high quality interior lighting solutions for trains, trams, and other rolling stock. Our luminaires, spotlights, LED strips, and other lighting products can be found on high speed trains, light railways and metro trains around the world.

Our wide array of LED lighting solutions come in all types and sizes and can be selected in ways that suit direct or indirect systems, or a combination of the two. When we are planning the lighting for a new train project, we design the best solution together with our customer. Our design process for interior train lights is supported by efficient 3D modelling, light-level simulations, rapid 3D-printed prototypes and full-scale train mock-ups.

Intelligent lighting control

Lighting can be adjusted to the amount and tone of natural light, providing neutral white lighting in the morning, colder tones during the day, and a warmer tone of white in the evening. Additionally, energy can be saved by automatically adjusting the luminous efficiency to a lower output in sunny weather than on a cloudy day, for instance. That way, passengers are sure to enjoy their travelling experience. 

Furthermore, Teknoware’s intelligent lighting control provides untold possibilities, enabling train operators to improve the passenger experience through optimised lighting. Illumination can not only be brighter during the daytime and dimmer on overnight journeys—it can even be utilised to prevent congestion, or adjusted for special occasions, for example, by matching the colours of designated sports teams or special holidays.

Active and intelligent lighting control is not just about wowing passengers: There are very real economic benefits, enabling train operators to reduce their lighting energy consumption by up to 50%.
