NLT lights things up

CAP lamp maker Northern Light Technologies has increased the Lux levels of four of its models to help brighten up the work and safety of the industry.

The company’s Eclipse now has a minimum of Lux 3700 and a typical use of Lux 5000, and the popular Polaris/Genesis now has a Lux 4000 and 5500 minimum and typical power, respectively.

On the NLT Rebel, low-beam minimum is now Lux 3000 and typical is 4000. High-beam minimum Lux is 11,000 and typical is now 14,000.

The company said that increased Lux levels equalled safer work for miners who used the lamps, along with reduced injuries and incidents.

“Poor lighting is a safety hazard – misjudgment of the position, shape or speed of an object can lead to accidents and injury,” NLT said.

“Poor lighting can also affect overall productivity and the quality of work -specifically in mining applications, where precision is necessary.”

NLT also noted that single-cell lithium-ion battery technology have allowed its line of lamps to be maintenance-fee, providing mines with lower expenses and increased productivity.

“The increased performance of our cap lamps can improve payback in terms of longevity, compared to the previous generation of cap lamps - and is just another reason to replace your legacy lighting technologies,” the company said.

Canadian-based NLT’s cap lamps carry a two-year warranty.
