When it comes to lighting solutions for mining and industrial environments, durability and safety are paramount. Among the options available, x-Glo’s Standard LED lights and Exm LED lights stand out as popular choices. While both are robust and well-suited for harsh conditions, their differences make them suitable for distinct applications. Here, we explore the characteristics, certifications, and uses of these two types of LEDs to help you make an informed decision.

At x-Glo, we take pride in our global network of distributors who play a vital role in delivering our innovative LED strip lights to mines, tunnels, and oil and gas facilities worldwide. With installations in 74 countries and over 500 mines, our lighting solutions are trusted to enhance safety, efficiency, and productivity in some of the toughest environments.

In September, the x-Glo Global team travelled from South Africa to Las Vegas, USA, to attend the largest mining show in the world: MINExpo International.

The oil and gas industry is one of the most dangerous sectors in the world. From the possibility of vehicle collisions and falls to fires and explosions, there are a host of dangers that workers need to grapple with. It's essential that oil and gas facilities are equipped with durable lighting systems to enhance safety and support their work.

An important part of mining safety is not just adequate lighting, but also lighting that is certified to be safe for underground use and use in tough conditions. This includes lighting systems that aren’t flammable or contain harmful substances.
