Targeted lighting along the railway track

Railspot

Railspot provides targeted railway lighting in areas that require extra visibility. The luminaire is mounted on handrails, fences and steel structures along the railway track, providing targeted lighting for the working area. The asymmetrical light beam and compact housing provide focused lighting without a wide distribution. This ensures visibility of pathways, crossings and working areas, leaving the surrounding area in darkness.

With a luminous flux of 119 lumen and a power consumption of 2W, the lighting remains controlled and targeted. It illuminates the working area without unnecessarily impacting the surroundings.

Railspot is mounted on handrails, fences and steel structures along the railway track. The luminaire is securely fastened to the structure using a stainless steel cable tie, ensuring that the lighting is positioned directly in the right spot along the walkway.

This type of installation provides targeted railway lighting in areas where luminaires cannot be used in the rail. Examples include stairways, crossings, platforms or technical installations alongside the railway track.

Railspot connects to the same 36V DC system as Railpuck and can be easily incorporated into an existing line. The result is additional working lighting along the railway track in areas where extra visibility is required, without having to redesign the system.

Railspot is equipped with a Cree XP-G3 LED with a luminous flux of 119 lumen and a colour temperature of 3000K. The asymmetrical optics target the light along pathways and working areas, thereby providing local railway lighting in areas requiring extra visibility.

The luminaire runs on 36V DC with a power consumption of 2W. With an IP66/68 and IK10 rating, the housing is suitable for use at temperatures ranging from −40°C to +70°C.

Railspot has been designed for use as part of the Railpuck system and can be connected directly to the same power supply line.

How Railspot works

Railspot provides targeted railway lighting in areas along the railway track that require extra visibility. The lighting is used in specific locations, without illuminating the entire area. This ensures a clear view of working areas and crossings, with minimal light nuisance for the surrounding area.

Light exactly where it is needed

Light exactly where it is needed

Not every spot along the railway track requires the same lighting. Railspot provides targeted railway lighting in specific areas that require extra visibility, such as steps, crossings, platforms and technical installations.

By mounting the luminaire on handrails or structures, localised lighting is created exactly where people look and move. The light highlights working areas and pathways without illuminating the entire railway track area.

As a result, lighting along the railway track remains controlled and functional. Extra visibility is provided only in areas where work is being carried out or where people are walking.

Mounting on existing structures

Mounting on existing structures

Railspot is mounted on existing handrails, fences and steel structures along the railway track. The luminaire is mounted directly onto the structure, ensuring that the lighting is positioned exactly where it is needed along the pathway.

This provides targeted work lighting along the track in areas that require light, without the need to redesign the site. Existing structures simply become part of the lighting system.

That way, installation is practical and flexible. Light is directed exactly where it’s needed, with no impact on the trackside environment.

Complement to Railpuck

Complement to Railpuck

Railspot supplements Railpuck’s lighting in areas that Railpuck cannot reach. Whilst Railpuck provides grazing light along pathways, Railspot provides additional railway lighting along stairs, crossings and working areas alongside the railway track.
It creates a lighting system that adapts to different situations along the railway tracks. Pathways remain clearly visible at all times, whilst specific areas benefit from additional lighting where needed.

Railspot connects to the same 36V system as Railpuck and can easily be incorporated into an existing line. Thus, railway lighting adapts to conditions as they arise.
