FINANCIAL COMPARISON

HALO saves you money

From conceptual design to full production, HALO LED strip lighting is the only lighting system worldwide which is proven to save considerable CAPEX and OPEX by its implementation and is known by its clients as the most cost effective underground lighting solution available.

HALO has a long-range functionality able to easily illuminate 100 meter runs which require only one electrical connection at the beginning of the length which is all that is needed to energize the entire 100-meter run; this unique feature means that electrical cabling and infrastructure usually required to be fitted throughout underground tunnels are no longer necessary saving massive amounts of monies in equipment & manpower. This feature can be doubled up in tunnels of 200 meters whereas only one power point on either end is required and HALO can light up the entire tunnel with both ends meeting in the middle.

Because HALO is a zero-maintenance long warranty product, there are a no costs whatsoever required to maintain its functionality and when compared to actual data obtained from various mines maintenance costs, the implementation of HALO has an average return on investment of only one year, thereafter converting those original maintenance costs into massive savings, it is by far the most educated choice for forward thinkers as a cost-effective lighting solution for the mining sector.

MAINTENANCE COMPARISON

HALO LASTS LONGER

HALO is truly a zero-maintenance lighting solution & known affectionately by its users as “the install & forget” lighting system & unlike most conventional lighting and other LED alternatives, HALO is specifically and purposefully designed to function optimally in the demanding and harsh conditions of the mining sector. HALO thrives in areas where most other lighting cannot, & easily overcomes the highly destructive operational parameters in underground mining such as high ambient temperatures (often exceeding 40 degrees Celsius) in almost aquatic conditions, & having to function efficiently without switching off but fully operational 24/7 & 365 days; these conditions cause most other lighting including LED lighting to self-destruct very quickly incurring massive financial maintenance drains, and the dismal poorly lit conditions affecting morale & efficiency considerably.

Every design facet of HALO is carefully & meticulously considered & engineered, to create an ultra-reliable lighting platform with an estimated lifespan of up to 10 years.  It has a low profile of only 4mm and very robust design, which makes it almost impervious to external mechanical damage unlike most other bulky lighting systems. HALO is designed to last and continues to provide outstanding performance year after year, saving massive amounts of OPEX and considerably improving underground conditions in ways never thought possible.

ERGONOMICS COMPARISON

HALO LOOKS BETTER

All professional miners know and understand that the most crucial factor that has a major impact on the improvement or decline of safety, morale & productivity is lighting; a lack of it can cause a significant deterioration in these fundamental cornerstones, however, a well illuminated area with consistent & stable lighting parameters, has shown to improve significantly in these crucial areas.

Typically mines incorporate an underground lighting design that consists of light fixtures fitted evenly apart usually spaced by 5 or 10 meters. Studies have shown that this inconsistent illumination platform, with continuous variables of high bright and low light areas throughout a tunnel is not conducive to an optimally safe and productive environment, but has a strong negative affect on the workers causing glare, confusion, poor morale and lack of focus inevitably leading to compromised safety.

HALO provides a complete flood of lighting, illuminating floors, walls and even ceilings without any shadows or dark spots whatsoever. Where in the past potential dangers may have been hidden through conventional lighting systems, they are now exposed by this unique feature of HALO. Its specialised design and selective components provide the assurance of minimal lighting degradation with a projected 15% over 4 years unlike most other lighting which experience accelerated degradation of up to 50% within 5 months in the harsh underground conditions.
