Airglo AirLight | Underground Mining Lighting

Light Where Power Can’t

A compressed-air-powered underground lighting solution engineered for harsh South African mining environments. Reliable illumination without electrical infrastructure.

Purpose-Built Illumination for the Underground RSA Mining Environment

The Airglo Light is a robust, compressed-air-powered lighting solution engineered specifically for the harsh and confined conditions of South African underground mines. Designed to integrate seamlessly with existing underground air infrastructure, it enables rapid deployment of reliable illumination without the need for electrical power sources or specialised installation skills. By simply connecting the unit to a central compressed-air supply, multiple working areas can be illuminated efficiently and safely.

EASY INSTALLATION

The Air Glo Light is designed to be utilized with the existing air infrastructure underground, By connecting the Air Glo Lights to a central air supply, it is possible to provide illumination to multiple work areas throughout the mine.

ADVANTAGES

  • No special skills are needed to install the Air Glo Light.
  • The unit can be used on it’s own  or in series and is built for durability.
  • It is suitable for Refuge Bays, Stopes, Haulages, and Medical Stations.
  • Air Glo Light promotes injury-free areas by identifying unsafe conditions in stoping environments, enabling immediate corrective action for enhanced safety.

Designed to perform reliably in dusty, humid, vibration-heavy environments.

How It Enhances Underground Operations

Underground environments in RSA mining operations frequently struggle with inadequate lighting, electrical infrastructure limitations, and safety risks arising from low visibility. The Air Glo Light directly addresses these challenges by providing:

1. Safe, Non-Electrical Illumination
Its air-driven generator eliminates reliance on underground electrical networks, reducing risks associated with electrical faults, cable damage, or power interruptions. This is especially valuable in temporary, high-risk, or remote mining sections.

2. Rapid, Skill-Free Deployment
The fully enclosed, high-rev air motor and compact design allow the unit to be installed quickly, individually or in series, without specialist training. This supports fast operational readiness in dynamic mining areas such as stopes, haulages, refuge bays, and medical stations.

3. Improved Visibility and Hazard Detection
With a 1600-lumen LED output, the Air Glo Light enhances visibility in critical work zones, enabling teams to identify unsafe conditions and take immediate corrective action. This directly contributes to creating safer, injury-free working environments in stoping and development sections.

4. Durability for Harsh Conditions
The unit’s rugged construction and fully enclosed design ensure reliable performance in dusty, humid, and vibration-intensive underground environments. Its low air consumption (3 CFM) and compact size (270 mm length, 70 mm diameter) make it practical for widespread deployment across the mine.
