ULTRA LONG TUNNEL RANGE - 48v
The x-Glo Ultra Long LED Lighting Tunnel Range is our latest product release. This range was developed to meet the specific needs of our customers for an LED strip light requiring less power supplies per installation. The Ultra Long LED Tunnel Light strip can provide up to 400 metres of continuous light between power supplies, the longest available on the market.
Each 5, 10 or 20-metre length is pre-fitted with IP 67 quick connectors on each end, facilitating easy connection or decoupling of the LED light strips as required. This feature is particularly advantageous in tunnel construction environments, allowing for progressive installation of the LED light strip as the tunnel construction progresses.
The LED light strip is IP67 rated and encased into a solid silicon extrusion with C-Mask™ dust and dirt retardant technology to keep these LED lights consistently bright in the harshest environments.

Explosion Proof Lighting Range
Our explosion proof EXM LED light strip is the ONLY IECEx and ATEX certified LED strip light available.
Our explosion proof LED light strip has been specifically developed hazardous areas such as oil & gas, refineries, chemical and fuel storage, aviation, coal mines, explosive magazines and hazardous industrial areas, such as paint manufacturing, tanks and high dust zones.
Being an explosion proof product each LED strip is ordered and manufactured to the required length. Each explosion proof light strip can only span a maximum of 30m between power supplies and can be powered with 24, 36, 48v AC or DC IECEx approved power supplies that we can design to your specifications on request.

FAQ
Explosion Proof LED Strip Light For Hazardous Areas
What is hazardous area LED strip lighting?
Hazardous areas are where combustible gases and/or dust are present that potentially cause an explosion from a spark.
Our MineGlow EXM range is an explosion proof strip light, specifically designed and certified under IECEx and ATEX for zone 1/21 and 2/22 areas.
Making it the world’s first explosion proof LED strip light that can be installed and used in a hazardous area safely.
What makes our LED strip light explosion proof?
The MineGlow explosion proof LED strip lights are double encapsulated using a food grade silicon material.
The double extrusion is IP67 rated and has an injection moulded steel braided power cable to prevent any potential spark within the LED light strip from causing an ignition.
In addition it is designed to operate in extreme temperatures from as low as -40 degrees to as high as 80 degrees.
What certification do the MineGlow explosion proof strip lights have?
Where have the MineGlow explosion proof LED Strip Lights been installed?
Over the past 5 years MineGlow has been installing its SafeGlo (O&G) and x-Glo EXM (coal mining) Lighting safely into the following areas to provide shadow and glare free explosion proof lighting:
- Coal Mining Operations
- Oil and gas facilities
- Chemical plants
- storage tanks
- Granaries
- Water treatment facilities
- Chemical & gas processing facilities
- Aircraft storage and maintenance areas
- Offshore oil rigs
- Oil & Gas Floating Production Ships (FPSOs)
How many metres do they come in?
MineGlow explosion proof LED Strip Lighting start at 50cm in length up to 30m depending on the lumen output required.
Can I order a specific length?
Yes, you can order our explosion proof LED light strip in any length you want in 50cm increments up to a maximum of 30m.
How do I power up these explosion proof strip lights?
The strip light is powered from one end using a standard non EX rated power supply in an explosion proof enclosure.
Or it needs to be energised by an explosion proof IECEx or ATEX rated power supply.
We have both portable and mountable explosion proof power supplies available.
Contact the MineGlow sales team to discuss your specific requirements.
Can I run two explosion proof LED strip lights in parallel off one power supply?
Yes, it is possible if you have a large enough power supply to power up two EX rated LED light strips off one PSU.
For example the minimum wattage required to power up the brightest explosion proof strip light is 240 watts. You would require a 240W or higher power supply in an enclosure with enough space for heat dissipation and containment.
The enclosure will differ in that there will be two flame proof cable glands with IECEX certified female connectors installed to allow for a ‘plug and play’ solution to the IECEx male connectors which are installed on the strip lights.
Can I hardwire the explosion proof lights directly to the power supply without having connectors attached?
Is the MineGlow explosion proof light waterproof?
Our explosion proof lights are IP67 rated. This allows them to effectively be used in outdoor areas too.
The connectors are injection moulded onto the strip light and the stainless-steel braided cable comes with a DryWire mechanism to prevent water from entering the strip through capillary action.
How long is the explosion proof cable attached to the strip light?
Can the MineGlow explosion proof lights overheat?
An integrated Current Control IC circuit is installed into the EXM light body. This component maintains a constant current level despite temperature fluctuations, thereby preventing overheating and protecting the internal PCB from damage or causing a potential ignition. Provided that temperatures remain within the specified ambient range, there is no need to be concerned about overheating.
What happens if a part of an explosion proof strip light is faulty or damaged, will the whole strip be affected?
If a segment of the strip light is faulty, the entire strip will not be affected. The light strip will continue to function normally, as the damage to one circuit board does not result in any short circuiting or causing the total strip to fail.
In the rare instance that the extrusion encapsulating the LED strip light is damaged, then the entire strip will be compromised and will need other be replaced, as it will no longer be safe to use.
What is the average lifespan of the MineGlow explosion proof lights?
All of the MineGlow explosion proof lights have a specified lifespan of 50,000 hours and designed to operate 24/7.
On average our lighting in general has been lasting 5-9 years before requiring replacement.
What warranty do the explosion proof LED strip lights come with?
Both our SafeGlo and x-Glo explosion proof lighting ranges come with 5-year warranty.
Our lights do have an excellent track record with a less than 1% MTBF failure rate.
What makes your explosion proof strip lights different from other IECEx approved lights on the market?
• With safety being our number one priority, this light is manufactured with only the best available high-quality LED’s that provide optimum white light within the 6500 light spectrum.
• Efficacy and efficiency. The built is LED light source boasts a luminous efficiency of up to 83 lumens per watt allowing significant energy cost savings.

How do I install explosion proof LED strip lighting?
We suggest using our stainless-steel mounting channel. It was designed especially to fit our EXM strip light and is easily mounted to any surface and built to withstand high levels of vibration. The lights can also be neatly recessed or suspended. To view our installation video please click on the link https://vimeo.com/644705059.
Can the explosion proof lighting be used as temporary lighting for maintenance work?
Yes. The MineGlow explosion proof lights are highly portable and designed to be hung vertically into a tank, silo or storage unit to illuminate the work area quickly and safely.
The LED strip light is lightweight (<20kg) and can be carried and installed by one person.
The key advantage is it will provide shadow free lighting, eliminate dark spots and reduce eye strain for up to 30 meters.
Many of our oil and gas customers with both offshore platforms and onshore plants using them specifically to provide temporary lighting for maintenance work. See our galley of some examples of our light being used for maintenance work. https://mineglow.com.au/industries/led-strip-lights-for-oil-gas-industry/
When will I get the explosion proof lighting after placing an order?
All MineGlow’s explosion proof lights are made to order, with both the lead power cable and the LED Light strip fully customisable to the length you require up to a maximum of 30m per light strip.
These lights are generally available for shipping 3-5 weeks from order.
