Engineered for the Demands of South African Underground Mining

The Schaulicht SmartLite LFP 12Ah Caplamp is purpose-built to address the harsh, high-risk conditions of South Africa’s underground mining operations. Combining robust design, high-intensity illumination, and advanced safety technologies, it provides miners with a reliable lighting solution that enhances visibility, situational awareness, and overall occupational safety.

Powered by a compact and durable 12Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, the SmartLite delivers more than 24 hours of primary LED illumination and over 100 hours on auxiliary mode, ensuring dependable performance throughout extended shifts. The LFP chemistry offers exceptional thermal stability and a 4-year / 1000-cycle battery life, reducing maintenance costs and lowering total cost of ownership.

The Caplamp incorporates intelligent battery and lamp status indicators, including multi-colour LEDs for battery level, charge status, and fault detection. These real-time alerts help prevent unexpected power loss and assist in proactive maintenance. Built within a rugged polycarbonate housing and equipped with an effective cable management system, the SmartLite is designed to withstand the mechanical and environmental stresses of underground work.

Beyond lighting, the Schaulicht SmartLite LFP Caplamp supports integration with modern underground safety systems. Its tri-colour LED signalling aligns with TMM, winch, and locomotive communication protocols, while optional upgrades enable collision avoidance, personnel tracking, trapped miner location, and early-warning gas detection.
