X-Glo North America’s LED rope lighting enhancing safety across the North
SUDBURY — In nearly two decades in mining supply sales, Don Bertrand has visited plenty of underground operations where the lighting was OK at best.
“We say you ‘set it and forget it,’” said Bertrand, general manager of the Sudbury-based company. “You basically install it, it’s up, and you walk away.” The colour and intensity of illumination is equivalent to noon-hour sunlight, and the light strips won't cast shadows. So it was fitting when he was approached about a collaboration by FiComm Technologies, a Sudbury-area tech company that makes a number of products for the industry.
One of the first customers to purchase a system was Thyssen Mining, which is currently undertaking excavation work on the Fermilab project in South Dakota, a neutrino research facility similar to the SNOLAB in Sudbury.
