SBB Rail Technology Center
Where Switzerland maintains its railway — new light for 8'370 m² of workshop hall
A refurbishment without any intervention in the existing installation: 432 light-line inserts, integrated into the existing DALI control, installed within the given time window.
At the SBB Rail Technology Center in Hägendorf we renewed the lighting of the entire hall without touching the existing infrastructure — the 432 new light-line inserts slot into the existing DALI control as if they had always been there. The lighting design to SN EN 12464 and the energy verification to SIA 387/4 were calculated in our own house, the luminaires then assembled exactly as the electrical contractor needed them, with a project-specific parts list enclosed for every axis. Delivered pre-palletised and in project packaging, the whole hall stood in new light within the given time window — with little packaging waste and no searching on site. Because we sized quantity and output consistently to the actual demand, the energy demand falls by 130 MWh, with 21 % fewer light points. And because every light-line insert stays repairable and can be freed of dust without effort, the installation remains serviceable across its entire service life.
