Why Has LED Mining Light Become the ‘Lumos Maximus’ of the Mines?

Today’s mining industry has embraced a new illuminated world with the help of LED mining light. This industry now emphasises safety, environmental sustainability, and productivity. The limited resources of this volatile industry can be maximized by using eco-friendly and green technologies like LED lights. 

Along with an advantage of being eco-friendly, this mining light has thrown its light on many other benefits. The advantages it offers are solutions to many problems previously faced by miners. 

A light, which would be beneficial for their visibility and portability, is mandatory for their list of requirements:

Issue 1: Battery cost

The longevity and reduced maintenance cost of these lamps is definitely a plus point considering the limited resources available. LED is powered with DC or AC and its battery can be charged with solar panels and has a longer backup too. 

Issue 2: Safety

The explosion-proof performance of LED mining light is one of the best features that it brings with it. Due to its solid-state technology, the fears of fragile filaments or breakable glass components vulnerable to constant vibrations of mining area are practically inexistent.  

A safe and secure environment for miners is highly desirable, and hence, a number of companies previously reputed for their excellent quality of equipments like rebar bending tools, crimping tools, and wire-stripping equipments have now upped their stocks with this gear as well.

Issue 3: Resources

The LED lights are energy efficient, and a 100W LED lamp can easily replace a 250W traditional mining lamp. 

On account of certain mining regulations, there are certain applications which require to be illuminated 24*7. 

The lifetime of traditional mining lights is 2k-20k hours in perfect condition, whereas, that of a LED lamp is approximately 50k hours. Hence, the involved cost is also reduced.

Issue 4: Temperature

The normal traditional LED lamps had 1 major drawback – the issue of a rise in temperature. This shortcoming when placed under the backdrop of occasional toxic underground mining conditions, may lead to hazardous situations. 

Now, the popular LED itself is a cold light source. This guarantees that there is no rising concern about amplified temperature level underground. 

Issue 5: Glare

Now, workers don’t need to switch the lamps on and go out to sip a cup of coffee, while waiting for those to reach their full illumination. 

The LED mining lamps reach their full illumination instantly. There are no occasional power disruptions, which may otherwise lead to accidental situations in the dark undergrounds. 

The customizable feature of the cool LED technology guarantees that you can control its diode through lensing. This can eliminate light spill, glare, and light pollution. The light pollution and energy waste can be decreased by up to 50% and 70% respectively. 

Issue 6: Corrosion

The LED mining light has been an ideal portable light source because miners need to have it attached to their hard helmets. Its body is made of light alloy materials with special surface coating treatment and sealing so that the humidity to which it has regular exposure to, is unable to cause corrosion. 

The features and advantages so described are majorly the view of the horizon. The LED technology is showing a promising future in this industry complete with its cost-effective nature, lightweight, consistency, and durability. You can always order LED lamps online from company sites, which also sell crimping tools, pipe pressing equipments, etc.
