Infrastructure

Train stations and airports are high-traffic environments with significant safety demands. They also serve as architectural landmarks, reflecting each city’s identity. Aware of these dual challenges, we provide tailor-made architectural emergency lighting solutions for these spaces.

“Béhar’s strength lies in their project flexibility. In addition to their catalog, they are able to follow a project through to completion, propose dedicated solutions and adapt to an architect’s request.”

A wide range of lighting solutions for each infrastructure type

Our products are adaptable to all layouts, offering multiple installation options regardless of structural constraints (e.g. high ceilings, no ceiling). The Eclat² and Cylindrik models provide high impact resistance (IK09 or IK10) and strong protection against water and dust (IP65), making them ideal for parking areas.

Thanks to the variety in our product ranges, we ensure harmonious integration into any architectural concept, with screen-printed pictograms that guarantee optimal evacuation route visibility, as seen in the Lyon Metro.

We offer customisable, design-led solutions for public areas, along with technical alternatives suited for parking zones and service rooms. All our products are durable and repairable, with spare parts available even for models over 20 years old.

According to the June 25, 1980 decree, train stations, airports, and other transport infrastructures fall under ERP type GA. These public buildings handle high and continuous foot traffic, requiring strict compliance with safety standards related to evacuation, accessibility, and emergency lighting, including specific demands for autonomy and robustness.

ERP type GA facilities must be equipped with evacuation emergency units or central-source systems providing a minimum of one hour of autonomy. In PRM (Persons with Reduced Mobility) evacuation areas, it is recommended to install DBR units in addition to standard luminaires to facilitate safe evacuation.

For large infrastructures like train stations or airports, we recommend robust, discreet, and large-area compatible luminaires. The S-KAPE collection is particularly suited for stations, thanks to its flexible configuration. CYLINDRIK and ÉCLAT models are ideal for their IP65-rated waterproofing. For maximum impact resistance, ÉCLAT2, COMPACT TRIANGULAIRE, and CYLINDRIK TECHNIQUE offer up to IK10 protection, especially with optional protective grilles.

Lighting distribution depends on volumes, functions, and passenger flow. Priority must be given to continuous signage along circulation paths, platforms, stairways, and halls, with consistent coverage in areas lacking natural light. Units must remain visible at all times, even from a distance or in the presence of smoke.
