Smart 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 Falcon lamp provides optimum power for the tag.

Integrated
By having the tag integrated into the cap lamp, the tag will not get left behind. Having the tag always on the miner 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.

Flashing blue LED “Taillight”
To enhance user visibility, the flashing taillight on the lamp cord is designed to alert those approaching from the rear.

Bidirectional communication
The headpiece has 2 additional side push buttons to support bidirectional 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.

Programmable, coloured status lights
Two 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.

Online/Offline indicator
Alerts user to operational status on applicable models.

More About the Falcon

After the successful launch of the Eagle cap lamp, we developed the Falcon as the corded cap lamp to accommodate both tracking and proximity tags. The Falcon provides all the advantages of the Eagle, including being proximity ready and tracking enabled, and offers multiple safety features. Like the Eagle, it has programmable functionality, including two additional buttons to support bidirectional communication and safety options. The Falcon also features the taillight built into the lamp cord to allow others to see the miner ahead. The lamp’s battery pack is worn at the hip.

NLT has engineered the Falcon to be “future-proof,” that is, to take advantage of today’s technology while providing the flexibility to accommodate emerging safety and communications technologies.

The battery and all components of the Falcon are serviceable, increasing the life of the lamp, lowering the total cost of ownership and ultimately reducing waste. Check with your authorized NLT distributor or NLT for service or training.

NEW! Introducing the NLT Automated Cap Lamp Output Tester for cap lamps and flashlights.

Test and log your lamp’s output in less than 10 seconds.
