tvega961 Posted March 3, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 3, 2011 Probably nothing special, but when i saw the set of the 5 cars of R160A on the Q, the lights were more of a very Dark Blue then the other 5 cars towards the front. I don't know if you can tell...but you can witness it when you happen to find the set...again probably nothing interestin, but i wanted to share it :cool: here it is And also a Video (Might not be able to see it) EDIT: I think i put it in the wrong thread...>.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted March 3, 2011 Share #4 Posted March 3, 2011 What The Fu*k. Tell the fu*king to install fu*king regular lights right now in those cars. Even looking at the video it hurts my eyes, and I wear glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadway Local Posted March 3, 2011 Share #5 Posted March 3, 2011 These happen to SOME R160As but not R160Bs. The blue lights are too bright! Regular Lights are better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted March 3, 2011 Share #6 Posted March 3, 2011 I seen and ridden in this set quite a few times, Love it! All the new MTA vehicles should these lights IMO, it would be cool to see em on the IRT techs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainFanatic Posted March 3, 2011 Share #7 Posted March 3, 2011 I remember catching a few five car sets with the bluish lighting. It doesn't make the interiors look as blue as it does in the photo. Of course, there has to be a good reason behind this. Also, lets be real. If the lighting really hurts your eyes then get 'em checked. The lighting really isn't bad at all.

Queens Surface Posted March 3, 2011 Share #8 Posted March 3, 2011 Yeah, that is the LED Lighting test set out of CI. Who knows maybe all future subway cars may come in with LEDs. Since all new MTA buses have LEDs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexington Av Local Posted March 4, 2011 Share #9 Posted March 4, 2011 Actually, i think i rode on an R142 on the this week that had Blue LED lights. The train was pretty empty and i looked through the window and the other car had blueish lights, exactly like the R160 in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman1455 Posted March 4, 2011 Share #10 Posted March 4, 2011 What The Fu*k. Tell the fu*king to install fu*king regular lights right now in those cars.

Fresh Pond Posted March 4, 2011 Share #11 Posted March 4, 2011 Wirelessly posted via (BlackBerry8520/5.0.0.900 Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100) LED lights are cheaper in the long run since they can last longer before being replaced unlike the standard ones Another cost-cutting measure by the lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbluefoxie Posted March 4, 2011 Share #12 Posted March 4, 2011 does everything look all blue and stuff inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvega961 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share #13 Posted March 4, 2011 does everything look all blue and stuff inside? Yea even the people lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonanza123d Posted March 4, 2011 Share #14 Posted March 4, 2011 Well... I think they should use a "softer" version of the LEDs. I think it would be somewhat better if it was not blue. How about a softer blue and more white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted March 4, 2011 Share #15 Posted March 4, 2011 i once rode this set and a MTA conductor on the tells me its ''3D lights'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted March 4, 2011 Share #18 Posted March 4, 2011 Ive seen this. When i stand inside the car, the lights actually appear purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova RTS 9147 Posted March 4, 2011 Share #19 Posted March 4, 2011 Nice catch, been wanting to find that set. Lol, I see it all the time. But because I take the , I don't get the chance to ride it. These lights really arent harsh. Its almost as soothing as the R143 lights that reflect off the light gray walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Posted March 4, 2011 Share #22 Posted March 4, 2011 I have caught it once ( I don't ride on Q often.) It just looked weird to me. Fortunately that ride only took me from 34th st to 14th st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted March 4, 2011 Share #23 Posted March 4, 2011 And I thought it was an unusually clean set. I've seen it a few times before. Quite a contrast with other sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
