Dialight, a global leader in LED lighting technology, has announced that it has secured an order for almost 2,000 LED lighting fixtures to be supplied for a new underground conveyor system for an unnamed Indonesian copper and gold mine. The customer, described as “a recognised leader in international mining operations”, chose Dialight’s LED fixtures for their longevity and reliability in harsh environments, according to the company. Dialight’s fixtures are resistant to the shock and vibration encountered in mining applications, and ultimately improve safety for the mine workers with reliable and enhanced illumination.

The project consists of a combination of DuroSite LED High Bays, SafeSite Class I, Div 2 Area Lights and associated mounting bracket accessories. Dialight will begin to deliver product in September 2012, with shipments continuing through the end of the year. Also in Asia, the company has just announced the establishment of Dialight Asia Pte Ltd, a joint venture with Lumina Holdings Systems based in Singapore. Dialight Asia will be responsible for the promotion and sale of Dialight industrial white lighting products in South East Asia. The new company will be largely supplied from Dialight’s new facility in Penang, Malaysia.
