Safety you can see
Inadequate lighting poses major safety risk to the mining, tunneling, and oil and gas operations. Poor illumination is a leading cause of workplace accidents, significantly impacting worker fatigue, attention, reaction ability, and hand-eye coordination. This is common in underground mining environments where poorly lit conditions also increase the risk of physical hazards such as slips, trips, and falls.
Canadian Based industrial lighting pioneer x-Glo North America Inc. is helped numerous mining, tunnelling and oil and gas companies overcome these challenges.

What’s neW
x-Glo North Americas most recent development is the Visual Alert Control system (V.A.C.s). The V.A.C.s allows our clients to integrate the x-Glo LED strip lights with their system, allowing them access to change colours, creating a visual alert in an emergency. It can also be used for traffic management, giving employees a visual alert that heavy equipment is being operated in the area.
mORe abOut the v.a.c.s
by the end user, so if a client wants to use “red chasing” for fire and “blue chasing” for other emergencies, that would be possible, in addition the speed and direction of the system lights is also customizable by the enduser. When you combine the V.A.C.S with the x-Glo-56-24vDC-RGB-C, you can achieve a total distance of 60 metres on both sides of the V.A.C.S (120 metres total) with a V.A.C.s repeater placed every 20 metres. using the x-Glo-L-28-24vDC-RGB-C, you can run three lengths of 80 metres on both sides for an overall length of 480 metres. V.A.C.s repeaters must be placed at the end and beginning of each run for the system to function properly.
With a five-year warranty and 10-year life expectancy, you can simply “set it and forget it.” For more information, visit our website at x-glo.ca or call us at (705) 698-0441.
