LIGHTING ON THE ET 403 HIGH SPEED ELECTRIC RAILCAR

BELEUCHTUNG IM ELEKTRISCHEN SCHNELLTRIEBZUG ET 403

12 V/55 W incandescent halogen lamps are used for the locomotive's head lights and for signals. The driver's cab has two 25 W incandescent lamps fitted in the middle of its ceiling. A small spotlight is installed to the right of the working schedule to light it up. Lighting in compartments and saloon coaches is virtually the same as on TEE trains. The dining car has diffused light with strip lighting. One innovation is the table lamp which gives the required light by means of reflection from within a rectangular perspex shade.
