Our Popular LED Work Lights Solutions for Mining
x-Glo Standard Range (SR)
Our most popular LED strip light series for mining, installed where there is sufficient access to power.
Each LED strip light can be powered from both ends to maximise distance and reduce the amount of power infrastructure required to power the lights.
It also provides redundancy if the LED strip is accidentally cut or damaged.
- Available in run lengths from 42 meters to 90 meters, in 24 or 36v
- All strips can be cut to size at 10-15cm intervals and reconnected, on-site, to suit your length requirements
- Available in PVC or Silicon
- C-Mask™ – Dust and dirt retardant technology is standard across the range
em-Control Emergency Lighting Solutions
Guiding workers to safety at light speed.
Fast, effective emergency lighting is critical to ensuring the safety of your workers in confined underground spaces.
When visibility or hearing is compromised, our colour-coded pulse LED emergency lighting systems maintain visual communication with your workers directing them to the nearest escape way, refuge chamber or exit in the case of an emergency – keeping them safe and connected at all times.
- Available in RGA and RGB
- Customise directional pulse and speed to suit your specific requirements
- Runs of up to 100m per power source
- Easy to integrate with any 3rd party emergency system using our API kit.
SafeGlo Range
*** The worlds first IECEx and ATEX Certified Explosion-Proof LED Strip Lighting ***
Our SafeGlo range is the first IECEx and ATEX certified explosion-proof LED strip lighting, designed for environments with airborne gases, vapors, or dust that could create an explosion hazard. This range isolates and contains sparks to prevent explosions from escaping into a explosive atmosphere, making it the only IECEx certified LED strip light available today.
- Custom Lengths: Available from 50cm up to 30 meters.
- Customizable: Select the voltage (24v or 48v), level of illumination, and color for your specific application and work zone.
- Versatile Installation: Can be installed on any fixed or mobile surface, including hard-to-reach curved and uneven surfaces and corners.

FAQs
What is the best lighting solution for underground mining?
LED strip lighting is one of the most effective solutions for underground mining.
It provides continuous, uniform illumination across long distances, improving visibility while reducing the need for multiple light sources and complex infrastructure.
Mineglow’s LED systems are specifically engineered for mining environments, delivering reliable performance in areas with limited power access and no natural light.
How does LED lighting improve safety in mining operations?
LED lighting improves mining safety by eliminating dark spots and providing consistent visibility.
Continuous illumination helps workers identify hazards earlier, reduces shadow zones, identifies trip hazards and creating safer working conditions in underground environments.
Mineglow systems are designed to deliver glare-free, daylight-like (6500k) lighting that supports safer and more efficient operations.
Can LED strip lighting be used in harsh mining environments?
Yes, LED strip lighting is designed to perform in harsh mining conditions.
Mineglow lighting systems are built to withstand dust, moisture, vibration, and temperature fluctuations commonly found in underground operations.
This ensures consistent performance and reduces the risk of lighting failure in critical work zones.
How long do LED strip lights last in mining applications?
Our LED Strip Lights are designed to operate 24/7 for 10+ years with a 5 year warranty
Engineered to maintain optimal performance with minimal maintenance required throughout their lifespan.
Their long operational lifespan reduces the need for frequent replacements, making them a reliable solution for continuous underground use.
Mineglow lighting is engineered for durability and long-term performance in demanding environments.
How does LED lighting reduce maintenance in mining?
LED lighting reduces maintenance by eliminating frequent replacements and minimising failures.
Unlike traditional lighting systems, LED strips are designed for long-term operation, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Mineglow’s low-maintenance design allows mining teams to focus on operations rather than lighting upkeep.
Is LED lighting more energy efficient for mining sites?
Yes, LED lighting is significantly more energy efficient than traditional mining lighting systems.
It consumes less power while delivering high illumination output, helping reduce operational costs and energy demand.
This is especially valuable in underground environments where power availability is limited.
Is Mineglow lighting suitable for hazardous or explosive mining areas?
Yes, Mineglow offers lighting solutions suitable for hazardous and explosive environments.
IECEx and ATEX certified for Zone 1/21 and 2/22 to operate safely reduce ignition risks in high-risk mining zones.
They are suitable for use in areas where safety compliance is critical.
How easy is it to install LED strip lighting in mining tunnels?
LED strip lighting is easy to install and customise, for any length in mining environments. We offer the longest continuous strips in the market.
It can be quickly mounted, extended, or relocated using catenary wire and cable ties, as operations progress, reducing installation time and labour requirements.
Mineglow systems simplify deployment and take up to 70% less time to install compared to traditional fixed lighting setups.
Where can LED lighting be used in mining operations?
LED lighting can be used across multiple mining applications.
This includes underground roadways, drifts, tunnels, stores, workshops, culverts, conveyor systems, dump points, interseftions, crosscuts, walkways, drill areas, parking lots, underground offices, magazines, both as temporary and permanent installations.
Mineglow lighting is adaptable to different layouts and operational requirements.
What are the cost benefits of switching to LED mining lighting?
LED mining lighting reduces costs through lower energy use, minimal maintenance, and longer lifespan.
Unlike traditional tunnel lighting, which typically requires individual light fixtures and power connections every 2–5 metres, LED strip lighting generally consists of just two main components: the LED strip and the power supply.
This translates to fewer replacements, reduced infrastructure, and improved efficiency contribute to a strong return on investment.
Mineglow solutions are designed to help mining operations lower total lighting costs over time.
