12.1 General Lighting shall be by means of an approved arrangement of incandescent and fluorescent lighting fixtures. The lighting shall operate from the 120 Vac and 32 Vdc power supplies. The lighting shall be as uniform as practical throughout the car. All fluorescent lamps shall be the same color. The vehicle lighting shall include the following: a. Passenger area fluorescent fixtures b. End-of-car vestibule fixtures c. Emergency lights (both battery-powered and self-contained) d. Destination signs. The lighting system design and illumination requirements shall meet the Federal Regulations (49 CFR 27, 37, 38, 238, and 239) and APTA Standards and Recommended Practices (APTA SS-E013-99 and APTA RP-E-012-99) for car lighting. Where a conflict exists, the most restrictive condition shall apply. The lighting system shall neither produce an objectionable glare nor deteriorate rapidly in effectiveness due to the collection of dirt on fixtures. Fixtures shall permit easy cleaning and renewal of lamps and shall be free of rattles and not generate noise during normal operation. Cleaning, maintenance, and parts replacement shall be accomplished without disassembly of interior panels. Indirect lighting shall be provided for the passenger seating areas. Light fixtures shall be integrated into the car interior to provide the light at the reading plane, to the specified intensity, while also illuminating adjacent ceiling panels to assist in diffusing the light and in increasing the overall brightness level of the interior of the car. The details of the lighting design, arrangement, and installation shall be submitted to VRE for review and approval. [CDRL 1201] 12.2 Interior Lighting

12.2.1 Intensity The intensity of illumination at an elevation of 33-in. above all floor levels and on the upper surface of a transverse 45 degree plane at the front edge of each passenger seat, shall be no less than 20 foot candles at rated voltage. It shall be uniform throughout the reading plane in the passenger seating area of the car and shall provide adequate illumination of surfaces such as aisles, doors and advertising cards. The lighting intensity in the aisles, one (1) inch above the floor, shall be no less than five (5) foot candles. The illumination shall comply with the minimum performance requirements of APTA RP-E-012-99 latest issue. The illumination shall be directed downward, so that there shall be a minimum of glare.

The light fluorescent fixtures installed in the vestibule shall be service proven for railway service and powered from the 120 Vac and 32 Vdc circuits. b. The fixtures shall be appropriately arranged and located to illuminate the steps and the vestibule floor area. c. The minimum performance requirements of APTA-RP-E-012-99 shall be met at the side passenger doorway. 12.2.6 Stairway Lighting a. Compact fluorescent fixtures shall be recessed in the stairway walls and directed downward to illuminate the stair tread. b. The fixtures shall be powered from the 120Vac supply for normal function and from the 32Vdc supply for emergency function to provide the required illumination. c. The fixtures shall be service proven for railway service. Page 12-4 of 8
