Infrastructure solution
The Brussels Congres railway station is located in the heart of our capital, just between Brussels-North and Brussels-Central. It consists of 4 platforms, each with a length of approximately 200 meters.

Since BB Lightpipes have no annoying glare effect on both train drivers and passengers, they have been chosen to replace the dated TL-luminaires. In addition, high light uniformity, low maintenance costs, long life and high vandalism resistance played a decisive role.

The BB Lightpipe EVO, with a length of 4 and 6 meters, were used to create an aesthetic and visually continuous line above the platform and to maximize passenger comfort.
In addition, half of the luminaires are equipped with integrated emergency batteries, eliminating the need for additional emergency lights. In the event of an emergency, these batteries take over the power supply and thus increase safety by illuminating an evacuation path on the platform.

The BB Lightpipe EVO

This lightpipe comprises a continuous, optical and modular lighting system consisting of polycarbonate tubes in an aluminum support. A LED module consisting of 18 LEDs emits the light in an impact-resistant polycarbonate tube, in which an optical foil is applied. This foil ensures a constant, uniform and glare-free light distribution.

The soothing 180 ° light emission enhances comfort and guarantees a sense of security in large spaces, such as tunnels, canopies on platforms, car parks, ...

The BB Lightpipe EVO offers the possibility to dim by means of DALI or a motion detector in order to achieve the highest possible energy savings.
Integration of evacuation audio and emergency lighting is also perfectly possible.

IK10 +, extreme resistance

The BB Lightpipe ECO has an IK10 + and IP66 degree of protection and is therefore impact-resistant and splash-proof.

Quick installation

The luminaire can be installed very quickly with specially designed brackets for direct attachment to the rails of the grease pits. The luminaires are delivered completely assembled and installed according to the plug-and-play principle.

DEKRA certified

All LED modules of the BB Lightpipes are certified with the DEKRA "LED Performance Mark" certificate. This certification relates to both performance (life expectancy and color stability) and electrical safety (KEMA-KEUR) of tested products. The LED Performance Mark is based on DEKRA's extensive experience in this field and is awarded after extensive product testing (performance and safety) and factory audits.

Approved by Synergrid

Thanks to the Synergrid inspection (lump sum for public lighting), the BB Lightpipes can also be used at remote locations directly connected to the public grid ('for the meter'), such as bicycle shelters, underpasses and shelters.
