Stations mix platforms, concourses, subways, footbridges and depots, all needing safe, even light that never dazzles drivers or obscures signals. Our weatherproof floodlights, IK-rated bulkheads, canopy fittings and depot high bays cut energy costs by up to 80% against older fittings.

Why choose us
With years of experience supplying and designing external and industrial lighting across the UK, we help train stations get the lighting right first time. Stations have specific demands: clear platform edges for passenger safety, glare kept away from the track and signals, and vandal-resistant fittings in public areas, so we specify robust, proven products and plan them with full lux and layout calculations to EN 12464 and Network Rail guidance. From platforms and concourses to subways, car parks and depots, we design safe, welcoming, efficient lighting across the whole station.
Lighting standards
The table below shows recommended lighting levels for the main areas of a train station, based on BS EN 12464-2 for outdoor areas, BS EN 12464-1 for indoor areas, and Network Rail guidance. Our lighting designers use these values when producing your free photometric design.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about LED lighting for your train station led lights.
The best railway lighting is durable, weatherproof LED fittings designed for the environment and controlled to avoid dazzling train drivers or obscuring signals. Platforms need bright, even light with clear edges, subways and footbridges need vandal-resistant IK-rated fittings, and car parks and access areas need robust floodlighting. All should be IP-rated for outdoor use and support emergency lighting requirements. Glare control toward the track is essential. The right specification depends on the area and any Network Rail requirements, which we factor into the design.
Yes. We supply and design lighting for the full range of railway settings, indoor and outdoor. Outdoor areas such as open platforms, car parks, footbridges and access routes need weatherproof, robust fittings, while indoor areas such as ticket halls, concourses, waiting rooms and offices need comfortable, low-glare lighting. Subways and underpasses sit in between, needing sealed, vandal-resistant fittings. We match the right fitting to each area and design the whole station or facility as one scheme.
Railway depots and maintenance sheds need bright, even, high-quality light for safe and accurate work on rolling stock, so LED high bays and linear high bays are the usual choice, delivering high output with good colour rendering for inspection. Sealed and impact-rated fittings suit the environment, and floodlights cover yards and stabling areas outside. We design depot lighting to the levels maintenance work demands, with the same free lighting design and lux calculations as any other project.
