A common worldwide system of linear lamps for lighting the edge of the platform acquired an unusual interpretation of the station Haselhorst in Berlin. Due to the inclined slits in the sides of the modular system of the lighting has made a bizarre pattern on the ceiling.

At the station, Paracelsus-Bad lamps are an integral part of the design. They emphasize the general plan of the architect: clear rectangular shape, the contrast of light and dark.

This station is one of the youngest in the world - it only opened in 1972. But such a riot of imagination, a subtle sense of style and color is not, perhaps, nowhere else in the world.

The perfect combination of urban and classical trends in design. And perhaps nowhere in the world is no longer such a diversity in the solution of lighting systems.

The main design element Station Westfriedhof - great lighting. Inside they are painted in different colors: only three - red, blue, yellow, creating the illusion of "the colored" light. On rack mounted fixtures have two emitter. It should be noted that the rest of the decoration of the station consists only of pointers to the concrete walls. Thus, the unique design of the station is entirely in the original light.

At the station Am Hart again we see the interior, "is" solely by a competent and creative lighting. Linear fluorescent lamps in combination with a series of repetitive curved parts are "extended lamp with protective grating," which provides adequate lighting, good uniformity, good efficiency and elimination of glare.

A variety of lighting in the Munich subway is simply amazing.
