Ticket Area / Booking Hall Lighting

Lighting should be welcoming and with good uniformity in booking halls. Illumination in directly adjacent areas should be taken into account to create comfortable transitions between spaces. Higher levels of vertical illuminance are particularly useful to ensure that signage, self-service ticket booths, barriers, exits and displays are easy to recognise and use.

High ceiling halls may benefit from some uplight. Highly compact LED luminaires can provide light on the upper structure, which helps to lighten and open up the visual impression of the space, although positions and visibility of display screens should be taken into account.

Where spaces have access to daylight, this should be maximised where possible, and lighting controls should be used to ensure that the lighting is energised only as required.

Designplan luminaires are fit for use in tough environments. They also incorporate the latest optical designs for highest efficiency and optimum visual comfort. This is very important in areas like a booking hall where passengers may spend some considerable time.

Designplan have produced a comprehensive overview of potential lighting applications for Network Rail Category B, C, D, E, F. Applications include everything from platforms, forecourts, subways through to public toilets.

RIS-7702-INS Iss1 Rail Industry Standard for Lighting at Stations refers to EN12464-1:2011 with ticket halls and concourse areas at 200 lux and ticket and luggage offices at 300 lux.

For more traditional high ceiling halls, in our experience, it is desirable to provide an element of uplight to the structure. Especially where traditional globe type products are replaced by LED based luminaires – which may provide more downward directional lighting.

Light on the upper structure helps to lighten and open up the visual impression of the space. In the past, this type of desirable feature highlighting may have been excluded due to energy efficiency concerns. However, modern, highly compact LED sources can be used to light these surfaces from close offset distances which can increase efficiency significantly.

We have attained an enviable reputation as the supplier of choice in rail applications, having completed many successful projects for both overground and underground facilities.

Designplan Lighting have built a reputation for products engineered to stand the test of time.

Our luminaires incorporate metal bodies and specially designed diffusers which can resist up to 250 joules of force – 12.5 times more than an IK10 fitting (20 joules). High ingress protection and corrosion resistant paint are other key components of our “robust and durable” ethos.
