Led lighting and energy efficiency of Russian Railways facilities

This article examines the role of LED lighting in improving the energy efficiency of railway infrastructure facilities. The issues of the introduction of LED technologies, which contribute not only to reducing energy consumption, but also to improving working conditions and safety on the railway, were touched upon. The article partially covers the state of lighting at railway facilities, and highlights the high operating costs of traditional lighting systems such as incandescent lamps and fluorescent light sources. The advantages of LED lighting are analyzed, including a longer service life, lower energy consumption and high reliability. Using the example of a station with traditional lighting, the economic benefits obtained from the transition to modern lighting technologies are calculated. The environmental aspects of LED lighting with environmental impacts have been studied in comparison with traditional light sources, as a result of which it has been revealed that LEDs are the preferred choice not only from an economic point of view, but also from the point of view of sustainable development and environmental protection. Thus, it has been determined that LED lighting is an integral part of the strategy for improving energy efficiency in railway infrastructure, allowing not only to reduce costs, but also to improve overall operating conditions.
