MASTERIS can help you bring your railway rolling stock into compliance.

The rail industry is continuing its transition to safer, more sustainable solutions. Lighting, an essential element for passenger safety and comfort, is one of the areas undergoing major change. LED lights, which are mandatory under the TSI for traffic operation and management, are now the norm, and offer clear advantages over more conventional lights.

LED lights: a challenge for rail safety

Train exterior lighting plays a central role in traffic safety, with flags, marker lights and brake lights ensuring that trains can be seen and detected from a distance. Thanks to their luminous intensity, LEDs ensure better visual perception in all conditions (night, fog, bad weather).
➡️ This performance contributes directly to reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing the safety of rolling stock in operation.

Energy and environmental benefits

LEDs consume up to 80% less energy than halogen or incandescent technologies. For operators, this means :

• Reduced power consumption by rolling stock.
• A lower environmental impact, in line with the rail sector's energy transition objectives.

Cumulative energy savings on the scale of an entire rail fleet are significant, and contribute to more responsible operations!

Longer life and less maintenance

Another major advantage is the longevity of LEDs: between 30,000 and 50,000 hours of use, far more than for traditional lights.
Direct consequences:

• Fewer replacements.
• Less train downtime.
• Reduced maintenance costs.

For operators, it's a reliable, long-term solution, adapted to the constraints of the rail industry.

A legal obligation

Over and above the technical, economic and environmental benefits, it is important to remember that the integration of LED lights is now a regulatory requirement.
👉 Operators must therefore ensure that their rolling stock complies with current standards, in particular the TSI for traffic operation and management.
