Miners Headlamp Case Study Peru 2023

Time:

March – August 2023

Location:

Cerro de Pasco Mining Region, Peru

Project Background:

A leading Peruvian mining company operating in high-altitude underground conditions needed reliable and long-lasting miners headlamps. Their existing headlamps were experiencing frequent battery failures and inadequate brightness in foggy and dusty tunnel environments. Worker complaints about visibility and safety risks were rising.

Project Requirements & Challenges:

Strong illumination (over 10,000 lux)
Long battery runtime (12+ hours)
Durable and water/dust resistant design
Comfortable for extended wear with helmets
Certification for safety compliance (ATEX/IECEx)

Green Lighting’s Solution:

We provided a tailored version of our GL5-C miners headlamp, featuring:

11,000 lux high-power LED with three lighting modes
6,600mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery, lasting up to 15 hours
IP68 water/dustproof casing, impact-resistant shell
Adjustable head strap compatible with local helmet designs
Intrinsically safe certification for hazardous work zones
