10.5 PASSENGER SECTION LIGHTING
The passenger section of coach is lit by two
types of fluorescent tube lamps installed on the
parcel racks. The aisle or indirect lights are
located on front of parcel racks, and provide
soft, indirect cabin lighting and parcel rack
interior lighting. More powerful lighting for
general and in-station applications is provided
by fluorescent tubes located under the parcel
racks, close to the windows. A dual power
system is available for this lighting either from
the 24 volt vehicle power supply or from a 110
volt outlet supply. In order to save batteries
during extended periods of in-station lighting, no
current is drawn from the batteries as soon as
the 110 volt circuit is connected.
Moreover, adjustable reading lamps are
installed under the parcel racks for passenger
accommodation.
