Capacitive Storage –

With over 2000 Railcars and Locomotives in service or on order this APTA-compliant emergency lighting system uses capacitive power storage technology. It adapts easily to new builds or to existing rolling stock retrofits regardless of age.

We supply:

• Independent Capacitive Power Storage units which are able to power high-performance LED spotlights for up to 4 hours
• Ability to achieve full charge after a 15-minute charge period
• 50,000 – 500,000 mechanical charge cycles (depending on model)
• Superior replacement technology for traditional NiCad batteries
• Capacitors rated for 5 – 10 years of functional discharge service life (depending on Model & Environment)
• Single voltage 28.5, 37.5, 74, 110 vdc, or 120 / 240 vac versions available
• More than twice the light levels required by APTA throughout the 90-minute emergency interval
• An emergency lighting task load completely removed from existing car batteries
• Low-profile spotlights which are available in fixed or fully adjustable versions
• LED spotlight capability for simpler installation in existing or new fixture lenses
• Reverse polarity and transient spike protection
• 200,000-hr minimum continuous operation for an LED system due to purposefully under-driving high-efficiency LEDs
• 24-month warranty on LED fixtures
