LED strips for mining tunnels
15W high voltage 220V LED strip, 1850 lm, 6000K white light model: 15W-L10-230V-W
Iluminatronics 15W IP68 waterproof LED strips deliver 180-200 lux at 4m height for underground mining tunnels. Made with food-grade silicone and halogen-free materials, these 230V direct-line LED strips provide continuous illumination in 10m modular segments, improving safety and productivity in gold, silver, copper, and diamond mines.
LED strip white light in underground mines is subject to international safety standards to prevent accidents inside tunnels.
The labor departments of some countries have their own standards and establish that the mining tunnel must be illuminated at least at 50 lux at ground level only for free pedestrian and vehicular traffic, or 120 lux at ground level for temporary mechanical activities.
Our high voltage 220V LED strip 15W, 1850 lm, 6000K white light, model: 15W-L10-230V-W exceeds the safety standard for tunnel lighting.
A typical mining tunnel has dimensions 5m wide by 5m high with capacity for a single truck, we will only need to install one LED strip at 4m height on one side of the tunnel to achieve an illuminance or luminous efficiency of 180 to 200 lux.
Our LED strips can be easily installed on power distribution cables, cable trays or on 1/8 steel cable catenaries, where they can be relocated for other mining tasks.
It is a 10m modular LED strip for easy maintenance, which means that if a segment is damaged it can be replaced quickly, saving on maintenance costs.
Each 10m segment of LED strip has an isolation fuse that is recommended by international standards to prevent the fire from spreading to the next 10m LED strip due to a short circuit caused by a truck impact.
That is why we do not recommend long segments of single-piece LED strips of 50m or 100m. It is preferable that these be modular, measuring 10m, to prevent fires from spreading to other areas of the tunnel.
Each set of LED strip comes in a 10m roll that includes its respective mounting accessories, which are 20 clips and 20 plastic straps, for easy installation by holding it every 0.5m on power distribution cables, cable trays, or 1/8 steel cable catenaries.
LED strips are rugged, resistant to compression, dust, moisture and acid water with an IP68 penetration rating because you can submerge them in water.
They are extruded with food grade silicone, a transparent fire-retardant material, halogen-free because when burned it does not generate toxic gases.
When we power the LED strip under the American standard at 220VAC we do it using two 110V live wires without the neutral, the polarity of the cables does not matter.
When we do it under the European standard at 230VAC, we do it respecting the polarity by connecting the brown to live wire and the blue to the neutral wire.
It is worth mentioning that 99% of the high voltage LED strips 220VAC have a tolerance range of 200 to 230VAC but the American standard has live wires of 110V, 115V, 120V and 127V and when you exceed 230V when you have two live wires of 127V or 254V, LED strips burn out. At Iluminatronics, we guarantee that our overvoltage protectors will prevent them from burning out in this scenario.
Each box of 100m of high voltage LED strip 220V includes 10 sets that come in 10m rolls with their mounting accessories.
Cardboard boxes are a biodegradable and environmentally friendly material. However, couriers often leave these cardboard boxes exposed to rain and moisture, the cardboard disintegrates and the goods are lost during transport.
Our company Iluminatronics seals the cardboard boxes with adhesive nylon to prevent them from being destroyed by moisture during transport.
