With cities seeking to optimize traffic flow,

improve infrastructure, enhance logistics
and free up valuable space, tunnels are
becoming essential. Tunnels, however, need
excellent lighting that is safe, functional,
and sustainable in the long-term. In addition,
tunnel lighting needs to offer a favorable
Return on Investment. Philips Lighting
understands these needs and has created
TubePoint, a versatile and high perfomance
family of LED-based luminaires that is both
flexible and long-lasting, and can be easily
integrated into a complete tunnel lighting

Installation
and maintenance
TubePoint is quick and efficient to install thanks to its low weight,
the use of quick mounting brackets, and plug and play connectivity
(through wiring).

Mounting options include: cable tray mounting (with quick release

brackets in different dimensions); adjustable wall mounting; and
ceiling mounting. All mounting brackets are stainless steel and have
galvanic separation from the luminaire and the mounting structure.

Easy maintenance
Even though TubePoint is built to last a lifetime, it is designed to make
maintenance easy. In only a couple of minutes, service engineers can
access the most critical components on site using only a screwdriver.

For other maintenance activities, TubePoint can be completely

disassembled, because no glue is used; everything is fixed with
screws. The driver and LED unit are fully repairable off-site, and
spare parts are readily available.

in control
By adding controls to your tunnel lighting, you
optimize the total installation and ensure that you
get the greatest value from your TubePoint investment.
One of the advantages offered by lighting controls is that they continuously
adapt the lighting to the changing brightness outside the tunnel, so that the
driver experiences a smooth transition when entering, passing through and
exiting the tunnel. In addition, lighting controls provide valuable status and
health information about the tunnel lighting installation.
