SCHURTER TrenoLux is the market leader of advanced LED lighting solutions for railway vehicles, combining engineering excellence with deep industry expertise. As part of the SCHURTER Group, TrenoLux focuses on the development and production of high-performance exterior and interior lighting systems that enhance safety, reliability, and passenger comfort across modern rolling stock.
With a strong emphasis on innovation, modular design, and compliance with international railway standards, SCHURTER TrenoLux supports OEMs and operators worldwide in delivering future-proof mobility solutions. From concept to lifecycle support, the company offers both standardized and fully customized subsystems tailored to the specific needs of each project.
Exterior Lighting Systems
SCHURTER TrenoLux develops high-performance LED exterior lighting systems for mainline rail vehicles, metros and tramways/LRVs, fully compliant with EN 15153 and/or UN-ECE as well as FRA requirements. These systems are designed as modular platforms, enabling seamless integration into new vehicle designs as well as retrofit applications. Features such as heated front glass prevent fogging and icing, while advanced communication interfaces (e.g. CANopen and Ethernet TRDP) ensure compatibility with modern vehicle architectures.
Interior Lighting Systems
SCHURTER TrenoLux delivers intelligent interior lighting solutions that combine passenger comfort, efficiency, and system reliability. Built on a modular platform, our systems enable both standardized and fully customized designs, perfectly adapted to modern rolling stock and retrofit applications. The solutions are compliant with EN13272 or APTA/FRA.
Our approach integrates lighting design, simulation, validation, and certification into one seamless process. From early-stage 3D visualization to in-house light measurements and vehicle type testing support, we ensure that every solution meets precise performance and regulatory requirements.
The portfolio includes linear lighting systems, complemented by spot lighting and flexible optical concepts. This allows OEMs to create tailored lighting environments—from functional illumination to premium passenger experiences—while maintaining a robust and scalable system architecture.
With a strong focus on digitalization, TrenoLux interior lighting forms part of a smart ecosystem, supporting both CAN-based networks and DALI interfaces between our LCU and the luminaires. Features such as dimming, tuneable-white, ambient light control, real-time diagnostics, and firmware updates enable dynamic control and increased operational efficiency.
Intuitive, web-based configuration tools and advanced diagnostics ensure full transparency and easy integration into modern train control systems—supporting operators throughout the entire lifecycle.
Proven in international projects, SCHURTER TrenoLux lighting solutions deliver reliability, flexibility, and a superior passenger experience.
Modular Lighting Platforms and Smart Functions
At the core of all solutions lies the SCHURTER TrenoLux modular platform, enabling scalability and rapid customization. Integrated features such as active protection, load monitoring, and real-time condition data support predictive maintenance strategies and increase overall system availability.
