  • CONTROLLED AREA LIGHTING FOR USE IN MINING ENVIRONMENTS
    Publication number: 20130285573
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling lighting in a mining environment. One system includes at least one light emitting diode and a controller. The controller is configured to communicate with the at least one light emitting diode and change the light emitting diode from a first operating mode to a second operating mode. In the first operating mode, the at least one light emitting diode provides area lighting, and, in the second operating mode, the at least one light emitting diode conveys information to personnel located in the mining environment. The controller changes the light emitting diode from the first operating mode to the second operating mode based on status information received from at least one device included in the mining environment.
