Edgware Road Station - London Underground

The London Underground is perhaps the most onerous environment for any lighting solution. 
It has been operating since 1863 and currently carries three million passengers everyday to 
275 stations over 408km of railway. In the Ticket halls of Edgware road station, one of the
oldest station of the tube, the general lighting exists of heritage luminaires. Transport for 
London (TfL), the main agency for transport services in London, was looking for a reliable 
light source that could replace the 70W SON-E lamps. 

Before retrofitting - 70W SON-E


 


 











After:
Only products that have passed through the LUL approval can be used for the London 
Underground. After approval, the heritage luminaires were retrofitted from 70W SON-E 
to QL 55W induction lighting. Besides the savings on energy and maintenance, the new 
lighting solution also improved the quality of light significantly.


After retrofitting - QL 55W
