Coal Mine
Reliable, energy-efficient lighting tailored to meet every operational requirement across the mine.
We have provided the lighting solution for a Coal Mine in Mpumalanga, South Africa.
For this project, Womsebenzi, the project’s EC&I contractor, partnered with us to ensure a robust and energy-efficient lighting solution across various operational areas. Our locally designed and manufactured luminaires were selected to meet the project’s technical specifications, ensuring optimal performance and the best lumen-per-watt efficiency for each application.

Conveyors
Robust LEDNOVA-MINI industrial luminaires have been installed to illuminate the conveyor systems. Designed for optimal photometric performance and long-term reliability, the LEDNOVA range significantly reduces energy consumption and maintenance requirements across a wide range of demanding environments. Suitable for use in outdoor mining areas, oil and gas refineries, food and beverage plants, manufacturing facilities, and other heavy-duty applications, the LEDNOVA ensures high-quality illumination with reduced disability glare, improving overall visual comfort and safety. In addition, certain models in the LEDNOVA range are available for use in hazardous locations requiring Zone 1, 2 or 21/22-rated luminaires.
The LEDLUME 3 streetlights provide illumination for the roads running alongside the conveyors. Available in four sizes, the LEDLUME range delivers superior photometric performance and a low total cost of ownership. It is the ideal choice for applications seeking reduced energy use, improved lighting levels, and minimal maintenance. With a wide selection of high-efficiency optics, it offers tailored light distributions to suit specific project requirements, ensuring maximum energy savings and performance.
Transfer Towers and Structures
LEDNOVA-MIDI LED bulkhead luminaires have been installed along the staircases of the transfer towers, ensuring effective and uniform illumination for safe movement.
LEDFLOOD floodlights provide general area lighting. Their marine-grade, high-pressure die-cast aluminium housing makes them exceptionally durable and well-suited for harsh environmental conditions.
Inside the transfer towers, a combination of BEKA VAPOURLINE industrial LED luminaires and LEDNOVA-MINI bulkheads ensures reliable illumination.
The BEKA VAPOURLINE is a robust and efficient LED alternative to traditional T5/T8 fluorescent fixtures. Engineered for long-term performance in demanding industrial environments, it features a strong mechanical design that resists shock and vibration. With its high IP rating, the BEKA VAPOURLINE is ideal for dusty and wet locations. In addition to durability, it delivers excellent visual comfort with low glare and a high colour rendering index, creating safe and productive working conditions.
Together, these luminaires ensure well-lit and safe transfer structures, improving visibility and operational efficiency.
Underground Tunnels and Haulages
The BEKA VAPOURLINE and ROUGHGUARD vandal-resistant linear LED luminaires have been installed to illuminate the underground tunnels and haulages of the mine.
Engineered for industrial, corrosive and harsh environments, the ROUGHGUARD is specifically designed to withstand challenging conditions while delivering reliable and efficient lighting performance. Its durable construction ensures long-term resistance to corrosion and impact, providing consistent illumination exactly where it is needed most.
Substations & Roads
The interiors of the substations are illuminated with BEKA VAPOURLINE luminaires, while the exteriors are equipped with BEKABULK bulkhead luminaires. Designed for industrial and public lighting applications, the BEKABULK combines efficiency, vandal resistance, and mechanical reliability. It is certified for use in Zone 2 and 21/22 applications, making it the ideal solution for potentially explosive environments and underground mining routes.
For the roads surrounding the mine, the LEDLUME 1 luminaires were selected to provide reliable, energy-efficient roadway lighting.
Conclusion
With the successful implementation of our locally designed and manufactured luminaires across all key areas of the Mine, the end user has benefited from a durable, energy-efficient and sustainable lighting solution. Each luminaire was carefully selected to meet the demanding environmental and operational requirements of a modern mining facility, ensuring safety, reliability and performance throughout the site.
We take pride in supporting South Africa’s mining sector with innovative lighting solutions that enhance productivity, reduce energy costs, and contribute to safer, more sustainable operations.
