U4 Hamburg

Memorable light for passengers

Characteristic lines shape the identity of the three stops “Horner Rennbahn”, “Stoltenstraße” and “Dannerallee” and clearly mark the respective platform area.
LED light profiles with a pleasant surface luminance, rimless and flush-mounted in the ceiling and wall, form a uniform rhythm that divides the room with a high recognition value and at the same time provides the necessary functional lighting. On the floor, a coating with high light-reflecting properties takes up the graphic line motif and completes the perspective-looking space brackets.

The architecturally formulated contrast of raw track area and high-quality developed platform is strengthened with a homogeneous monochromatic track area lighting:
Linear LED profile lights, extremely wide beam with individually adjustable colored light (RGB technology) stage and customize the raw concrete surfaces.
Station-specific motifs, selected with reference to the urban localization of the stop, are projected onto the track space walls using white light and gobo technology, creating further differentiation and memorable moments of light for the passengers! Both static and moving image projection are conceivable here.
