MINE LIGHTING developments , to provide a separate wiring harness or circuit for each worklight or group of worklights that need to be controlled individually . This significantly simplifies the architecture .
The retrofit version of the RokLUME 280N SMART will be controlled via a HELLA keypad . The OEM version is coming with a CAN interface to control the RokLUME 280N SMART via existing customer Human Machine Interface ( HMI ).
“ In practice , this means a considerable increase in occupational safety when using mining vehicles , as well as significantly more comfort for the vehicle operator and a reduction of downtime .”
In flexible strip LED lighting , FlexaTec from HELLA for industrial applications is available in different section lengths and can be combined to a length of up to 80 or 100 m depending on the country . It is available as both 110 and 230VAC versions and is made of a non-flammable material ( PVC flammability class V0 ). Installation is easy , thanks to the specially designed clips .
Therefore , it says FlexaTec can be used , for example , in underground mining applications and conveyor belt systems .
" The light ensures homogenous illumination of the working environment . With a colour temperature of 5,000 Kelvin , the
FlexaTec light is also very similar to daylight . This means that colours can be distinguished more clearly in the dark , thus making sensory
perception significantly easier for the human eye . In turn , this prevents workers ' eyes from tiring quickly during work in dark environments , such as in underground mining . Other light colours are available on request .”
Improving fixed light performance
Dialight , a global leader in hazardous and industrial LED lighting innovation , recently announced the launch of the Vigilant Bulkhead , a new addition to the already successful bulkhead line for the APAC and EMEA markets . The new CE Bulkhead it says offers significant improvements to product performance whilst maintaining all the features that have made the DuroSite ® Bulkhead popular .
Engineered from the ground up , the new Vigilant ® Bulkhead is IP66 / 67 , has an impact rating of IK10 and an ambient temperature range of -40 ° C to + 65 ° C , “ ensuring dependable and worry-free performance , even in the most challenging environments .”
“ Constructed of marine-grade aluminium alloy , the compact and rugged Vigilant Bulkhead has several mounting options , two optical patterns and battery backup variants making it incredibly
The RokLUME 280N SMART from HELLA offers multiple functions within one work lamp
versatile and suitable for retrofit and green field projects . Also incredibly efficient , delivering up to 150 lumens per watt , the bulkhead can offer a two for one replacement for traditional fixtures to increase the overall savings for the lighting installation .”
The new luminaire houses Dialight ’ s latest power supply technology , offering inbuilt 6kV / 3kA surge protection and thermal management system ensuring optimal reliability and longevity of critical components . “ Boasting extended operational hours – greater than 150,000 hours at + 65 ° C ambient – virtually eliminating costly maintenance and minimising the total cost of ownership , the luminaire now also comes complete with Dialight ’ s industry leading 10 year warranty .”
