Features

Dual-Beam Features

LightSync is an intelligent lighting-based alert system built to improve awareness and response in mining and other demanding industrial environments. Using programmable RGBW lighting and high-visibility alert patterns, it helps communicate hazards, emergency conditions, evacuation states and operating status in places where audible alerts may be missed.Consisting of a network of addressable light fixtures (pucks), LightSync can be installed throughout tunnels or industrial areas. The fixtures can be grouped by zone and activated individually or across an entire site to deliver clear, immediate visual messaging.

The system runs on an Ethernet-based control infrastructure. A PoE-powered controller manages each fixture string, while a browser-based application gives operators a central point for status monitoring, alert activation and lighting control. The platform can also tie into existing emergency or mass notification systems so preset lighting behaviors can launch automatically when outside alarms are triggered.

Key Benefits
  • Improves situational awareness
    Delivers bright, color-coded visual cues that support faster recognition of hazards, emergencies and changing site conditions in loud or low-visibility environments.
  • Networked and scalable
    Supports controller-based deployment with centralized software, making it possible to manage local zones or wider facility responses from one interface.
  • Flexible alert behavior
    Supports RGBW output and multiple programmable lighting effects, including steady illumination, flashing sequences and dynamic chase patterns that can align with site-specific protocols.
  • Built for harsh conditions
    Fixtures use rugged IP67-rated construction suited for underground and industrial use, and daisy-chain installation helps simplify field deployment.

Warranty

SEPT 6, 2024

Northern Light Technologies (NLT) guarantees that Eclipse, Polaris and Rebel cap lamps (including Plus versions), and related charging systems, will be free of material and workmanship defects for a period of 24 months from the serialized date on the product.

Genesis, Eagle and Falcon (including plus versions) and Aries cap lamps and related charging systems and the NLT Automated Cap Lamp Output Tester will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 12 months from the serialized date on the product.

For lamps with third-party electronics installed, such as tags, the warranty is based on the third-party product and excluded from this policy.

Excluded from the warranty are items or components that are prone to high wear such as: rubber components, cables, strain reliefs, covers, lenses and clips.

This warranty does not apply to NLT product performance due to the installation or integration of non-approved third-party components or solutions, such as, but not limited to tracking tags.

This warranty is conditional upon the proper use, maintenance, operation, charging, and protection according to instructions within NLT User Guides.

Northern Light Technologies’ responsibility for any loss or damages, regardless of cause, shall not exceed, under any circumstances, the original purchase price of the product to the original purchaser.

Shipping of warranty products to NLT is the responsibility of the distributor / customer. NLT will ship repaired or replaced products back at no charge.

NON-WARRANTY REPAIRS POLICY
Northern Light Technologies will repair any product that is outside the Warranty Policy under the following conditions:

  • All returns must be approved by an NLT customer service representative in advance through the issuance of a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number. Equipment returned without an RGA number will be subject to an administration surcharge of $50.00,
  • Equipment returned to NLT with no fault found will be subject to a minimum troubleshooting charge of $10.00 per piece of equipment, plus shipping and handling,
    Refused estimates or units that are uneconomical to repair are subject to a minimum troubleshooting charge of $10.00 per unit,
  • Troubleshooting charges may be applied as a discount to replacement purchases if made within 30 days,
  • Shipping in both directions for non-warranty products is the responsibility of the customer,
  • Repaired or replaced components are further warranted for 1 year from the repair date excluding high wear components as detailed above.
