For Tunnels: • LEDline® Can Be Used for traffic guidance; • for Completely Waterproof Tunnel lighting; • to improve tunnel safety in the event of fire and smoke; • to control traffic speeds In Tunnels.
since 2009, LEDline® has been Used for traffic safety guidance lighting at the Bjørvika Tunnel in Oslo, Norway
- In 2009, LEDline® safety guidance lighting was installed in the ceiling of the Bjørvika Tunnel in Oslo, Norway. It is still functioning today. Each yellow LEDline® unit was installed next to the standard white tunnel lights, along with the entire spare tunnel ceiling. Its brightness outside and within the tunnel demonstrates LEDline®'s safety guidance lighting ability to provide functional lighting levels in tunnels.
- Used as ceiling guidance, when the usual tunnel is blocked, sequencing lit LEDline® safety guidance units are used to guide traffic to an alternate tunnel. Therefore, as an emergency safety guidance lighting for drivers and vehicles, if there is an accident or other blockage of the tunnel and there is a requirement to change to another clear tunnel, the LEDline® safety guidance lighting, would illustrate this by leading the traffic from the blocked tunnel to the open alternate tunnel next door.
- Every LEDline® safety guidance unit has 12 x LEDs, is VDC powered by HIL-Tech's VDC power supply, and is individually computer-controlled with HIL-Tech's "Dynamic Effects Package".
- The units are controllable as to; the dimming of any individual unit to any level of brightness; having all units on, or some units on and others off; and being able to sequence the LEDline® safety guidance units in any direction with any number or combination of LEDline® guidance units.
Visible in daylight, yellow, 12 x LED LEDline® units, were installed next to Bjørvika Tunnel standard tunnel lighting.
(Note: As demonstrated below in the video, even though the white tunnel lighting is left on, the yellow LEDline® guidance lighting is brighter and shows up better in the tunnel).
Below is a Video of the LEDline® Ceiling safety Traffic Guidance System in the Bjørvika Tunnel.
With HIL-Tech's "Dynamic Effects Package", each LEDline® guidance unit is independently computer controllable as; to dimming; to the number of lit units on at any one time; and to the sequencing direction of the lit units, so when the main tunnel is blocked, operators can remotely sequence the LEDline® safety guidance units, leading drivers safely away towards the available alternate tunnel.

LEDline® could be used in Tunnels; • for tunnel lighting; • in the event of a fire with difficult Visibility and smoke, sequencing LEDline® could improve tunnel safety by leading people/drivers away from the fire and smoke towards an exit; • to control tunnel speeding: LEDline® could be sequenced. Those either passing, or not keeping pace with the remotely set speed of the sequencing could then be Automatically ticketed.
How and why LEDline® could be used for tunnel lighting.
- A Single LEDline® Safety Guidance Unit with 12 x 150 lumen LEDs, Produces Some 1800 Lumens of Fully Useable Directed White Light, (Normally 6500K unless otherwise specified). In addition, an LEDline® Lamp, Including Its Mounting Plate, is only 28.5mm (1.1") high, therefore; in older tunnels, it could be easily fitted onto the tunnel the roof or at the sides of the tunnel; and spaced together, and could provide any required lighting levels;
- --- being solid, so hermetically sealed, the LEDline® lighting system can be rapidly cleaned with very high-pressure water, saving both
- cleaning and tunnel downtime. (Whilst driving through a tunnel, pressure washing and cleaning the lighting fixtures, the higher
- the water pressure, the faster the lighting units can be cleaned, reducing any necessary tunnel lane closure times.
- --- if the LEDline® was powered via the completely sealed induction power supply system, this would again eliminate any concerns
- about the water pressure cleaning, causing electrical corrosion;
- --- if additional capabilities for the LEDline® were desired, HIL-Tech’s VDC-powered system and its "Dynamic Effects Package" could be
- used to power the LEDline®, and remote computer control of each LEDline® unit for dimming and/or sequencing could be used to; • sequence LEDline® units, leading pedestrians and walking drivers safely, away from any fire and smoke;
- • control sequencing lights as to their speed, those overtaking the ceiling lights, could be automatically ticketed; • guide, and sheepherding people towards tunnel escape areas; • outline any escape exits with green LEDline®.
