LED lights are used in the mining industry on heavy machinery and equipment such as draglines, electric rope shovels, wheel loaders, DC blasthole drills, dozers, hydraulic excavators and hauling trucks. They are used as brighter, more efficient, lighter-weight options for area, floodlights and danger lights. For wet locations, LEDs can replace traditional incandescent lights as they can be built to withstand moisture and can better endure accidental impact.
The mining industry also employs LED lights for mining infrastructure lighting such as wash bays, crushing sites and in processing plants. LED floodlights and area lights create a safer and more comfortable working environment for mining industry laborers. LEDs are also well-suited to hard hat and safety vest lighting.
