Rechargeable Lighting for Rail and Transport

Rechargeable Lighting for Highway and Rail Transit Tunnel Inspection 

           

Highway Tunnels

Rechargeable lighting systems are used in tunnels to enable a safe working environment eliminating the need of noisy generators, fumes and trailing cables, Samalite head torches and portable lighting units are used in various combinations as part of this system.

Rechargeable Lighting UnitSamalite Head Lamps and Area Lighting Units are among the toughest and longest lasting available with maintenance free LEDs and lightweight batteries giving them a long life cycle as required by the US Department of Transportation.

Highway tunnels can be short or long and have varying amounts of daylight entering, however as it is most likely that light will be needed due to night time or deep tunnel work, reliable lights are essential.

Highway tunnels may be supplied with some lighting the length of the tunnel but this is usually insufficient for welding and tunnel inspection. Professional rechargeable lighting like the Samalite head lamps and area lighting units can provide a white light as efficient as daylight.

 

Rail Transit Tunnels

Rail transit tunnels should provide sufficient light for train operators to properly adjust from the bright portal or station conditions to the darker conditions of the tunnel. Therefore, a certain length of brighter lights is necessary at the entrances to the tunnels. The individual tunnel owners usually stipulate the required level of lighting within the tunnel.

The US Department of Transportation requires that inspectors or workers at track level should be able to clearly see the track elements without using flashlights.  This is not always possible deep in the tunnels where there is less light so using professional rechargeable lighting such as Samalite head lamps or portable lighting units are ideal to create the correct light levels for rail inspection and general use in rail transit tunnels as they provide safe hands free white light.

UK manufacturer  SMP Electronics have been supplying Samalite  portable lighting products to the Railways, Highway and Transport divisions since 1995 with many of the original products still in service today.
