lighting sources - adjustability

[RailDreamer]

IS the lighting in the Acela the same as NER?

Which uses fluorescent bulbs vs incandesant?

Which are adjustable per car, at the discretion of the conductor?

I'm not sure what kind of bulbs are used on the AE, but it is much more brighter then on a Regional. And because the AE is used mainly for business travelers, and does not run overnight - or very late at night - the light are not dimmed! (At least that I have seen.)

Thanks - this is helpful. I've been in the Quiet car a few times, during the day, where the conductor dimmed the lights. Then some people asked them to be brighter. He would adjust them within in minutes.
