Features
Wi-Fi or RFID tracking tag enabled
Tags are primarily used for location tracking of personnel and access control. A key benefit is pinpointing the location of miners during an emergency.
Tag is powered by the lamp
Once installed into the NLT lamp, there is never a need to change the tag battery. The Eagle lamp provides optimum power for the tag.
Integrated
By having the tag integrated into the cap lamp, the tag will not get left behind. This is a very important safety consideration.
Proximity tag enabled
tags developed in partnership with proximity detection solution suppliers use various cap lamp functions to alert miners of danger zones.
Programmable colored status lights
2 colored LED lights in the cap lamp can be pre-programmed by 3rd-party software (proximity-enabled model only) and are often used to differentiate proximity zones near equipment by color (e.g., yellow=caution; red=danger) or can be programmed to send messages in multiple standard sequences.
Bi-directional communication
the headpiece has 2 additional side push buttons to support bi-directional communication. The push buttons are used for a variety of functions, including, but not limited to, emergency assistance (man-down) requests, acknowledging a signal/warning or triggering a warning/alarm.
Programmable cap lamp lights
The fully programmable cap lamp status lights can be used for a variety of notifications, including safety or operational alerts, e.g., for a man-down or evacuation signal by flashing a pre-programmed sequence. It can also be used to signal shift change or report-to-surface instructions.
Flashing blue LED “Taillight”
To enhance user visibility, the taillight on the battery pack faces away from the hard hat to alert others making a rear approach.
Online/Offline indicator
Alerts user to operational status on applicable models.

In many jurisdictions, mines are required regularly to test the light output of their lamps to ensure a minimum Lux. This manual task and corresponding documentation can be time-consuming and arduous for mine personnel. To help expedite the process, NLT has created an automated cap lamp output tester that can test and log a lamp’s light output in less than 10 seconds.
Completely customizable to work with diverse lamps/systems and logging requirements, the NLT Automated Cap Lamp Output Tester provides a seamless process that logs information and provides results in Table format which can be easily output into a report. The software has been designed so that it is simple for an administrator to set up the basic parameters and for an employee to use with little-to-no training.
Check with NLT or your authorized NLT distributor to learn more.
Note: To use system without an RFID tag, the lamp’s serial number needs to be entered each time prior to testing.
- Operator scans the part of the lamp containing the passive RFID tag.
- The first time the tag is read, the software will prompt the operator to input the unique serial number engraved on the side of the lamp. Thereafter the program will automatically recognize the lamp when the RFID tag is scanned.
- Operator turns the light to its highest setting, placing the lamp on the glass front of the light box and shining the light on the light meter located at the back of the box.
- If the light output of the lamp exceeds the easily adjustable pre-set limit set up in the software, the screen will show a green banner indicating a pass and log the lamp’s ID, Date, Time and Lux Reading.
- The program automatically resets ready for the next lamp.
