Red LED strip light for tunnels

15W high voltage LED strip 220V, Red light model: 15W-L10-230V-R

Red IP68 waterproof LED strips for danger zone signaling and low-glare guidance in mining and service tunnels. Red LED lighting marks restricted areas, hazard zones, and extraction routes while minimizing visual interference with equipment operators.

Red is a very intense and emotional primary color that is associated with passion, energy and danger.

Color plays an important role in accident prevention and the purpose of color in signage is to eliminate confusion and provoke an immediate, almost reflexive reaction.

In industrial safety, it means danger, which is why the mining industry uses red LED strips as traffic lights to indicate that you have to come to a complete stop at intersections.

They are also used to restrict access to certain unsafe areas when explosions are near during mining operations.

Our LED strips can be easily installed on 1/8 steel cable catenaries, power distribution cables, cable trays, etc., 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.

LED strip set with mounting accessories

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.

LED strip electrical connection detail

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.

Iluminatronics LED strip packaging sealed with adhesive nylon

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.
