Metro lighting standards were established back in the 1950s and remained in effect until 2003. Nowadays, metro lighting serves not only a functional but also a decorative function, turning each station of the Moscow or St. Petersburg metro into a small architectural monument. The desired effect is achieved only with proper lighting organization. FOSSA ELECTRIC will develop and install a metro lighting project in Moscow and other cities in Russia at affordable prices. We have our own production of LED lamps and spotlights in China, which allows us to create any lighting design.

Architectural lighting of the metro
When designing LED lighting for the metro, the principle of uniformity is observed, the architectural features of the object and the decor are taken into account. The lighting itself can be open or behind the cornice, depending on the layout of a particular station. Usually a combined option is used.
Proper lighting of metro stations helps to eliminate the feeling of a closed space, visually expanding the boundaries of the subway. At the same time, glare and blinding effects that interfere with the work of surveillance cameras and train drivers are eliminated.
Lighting of metro stations and metrotram (underground trams) solves several problems at once:
- Creates a safe and comfortable environment for passengers;
- Emphasises the overall architectural concept;
- Provides stations with emergency and evacuation lighting;
- Forms a single system of internal lighting, accessible for maintenance and operation.
