Northern Light Technologies (NLT) has revised documentation detailing the light output on four of its cap lamps, including the award-winning Polaris. “NLT is committed to helping mines and other industries lower their lighting energy costs and maintenance expenses,” said Heidi Levitt, President of Northern Light Technologies. “The increased performance of our cap lamps can improve payback in terms of longevity, compared to the previous generation of cap lamps and strengthens the argument to replace antiquated lighting technologies.”

Known for its continued adoption and innovation within battery, optics and LED technology, NLT has adjusted LUX levels to the following, with measurements taken at 1 m:

• Eclipse minimum LUX 3700, typical LUX 5000
• Polaris/Genesis minimum LUX 4000, typical LUX 5500
• Rebel: low-beam minimum LUX 3000, high-beam minimum LUX 11,000

NLT brings over 25 years of innovation and experience to the industry – the first dry cell battery pack with smart-charging technology, the first to incorporate NiMH technology, the first two-way text messaging in a cap lamp, and the first MSHA and CSA approved all-in-one, the Polaris.
