General circulation spaces should have uniform lighting. Lighting leading to retail or refreshment areas must be warm and welcoming to aid wayfinding and increase footfall.
Illumination in directly adjacent areas, such as refreshment kiosks with outside seating, should be taken into account to create comfortable areas to relax and ensure easy transition between spaces.
In take away kiosks facing directly onto a circulation space, the counter and work area must be well illuminated. This ensures staff can work effectively and that items on display for purchase appears inviting to the customer.
Technical Support
The style of lighting will depend on the type of architecture in general circulation areas. RIS-7702-INS Issue 1 (Rail Industry Standard for Lighting at Stations), lighting levels for concourse and circulation areas shall be consistent with the requirements of the latest edition of BS EN12464- 1:2021. Accordingly, concourse and general circulation areas shall be illuminated to a maintained illuminance of 200 lux.
