MINE LIGHTING to assist in significantly reducing energy consumption and the rate of incidents in underground and hazardous environments . When a safety event occurs , the em-Controller receives the information and triggers the em-Lighting LED strip to emit a pre-programmed colour , direction and pulse sequence , effectively communicating critical safety advice in real-time , to warn and inform people what to do or where to go next .”
Mineglow says the system is the only emergency LED strip lighting system on the market that is fully configurable , giving mine sites greater flexibility for different applications and the type of safety warning needed . In addition , the em-Controller unit has been designed to be network-ready and is available in multiple communication modes including Ethernet , WiFi or Bluetooth , ensuring it can work with any underground mining conditions . One control unit can control up to 500 m of LED strip lighting , significantly reducing lighting infrastructure set up costs . Designed and engineered by MineGlow for harsh industrial conditions , the IP65-rated , shock-proof em- Controller integrates with third-party systems used in hazardous and industrial applications such as traffic management , zone identification , vehicle awareness and seismic activity .
Mineglow adds : “ LED strip lighting has continued to grow in demand due to floor-toceiling illumination , which eliminates hazardous dark spots and creates full daylight conditions underground , helping to improve the health and safety of workers . The sector has also been quick to adopt LED strip lights for their quick installations , flexibility , efficiency and reliability .” em-Control is currently deployed in a gold mine in Ghana , and underground copper mines in
Mineglow ' s em-Control uses multi directional light pulses and colours to direct underground workers to safety
South Australia and Mongolia , where the systems provide directional pulses of light in the direction of the closest refugee chamber or escape way .
