12/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH research indicates that LEDs can enhance safety by improving a miner’s ability to see hazards and by reducing glare. This paper considers whether LEDs can also reduce miner exposure to hazards during maintenance and operation of LED lighting.
-
9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the performance of LED and INC sources in cap lamps in terms of correlated color temperature, color rendering, light output, electric power, ambient temperature and air flow, and light source aging.
-
8/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe purpose of this study was to perfect a method of gathering information on work positions and Visual Attention Locations needed by operators during the cutting phase and while the continuous miner trams to a new location.
-
6/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses NIOSH mine illumination research to determine if light-emitting diode (LED) cap lamps can improve safety by reducing glare.
-
6/1/2020 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA report on the NIOSH-developed Saturn LED area light's ability to reduce glare that has typically been an issue for roof bolter operators.
-
3/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article detailing a study that compared different lighting types and ceiling tag colors to differentiate what works best in a smoke-filled environment.
-
9/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe objective was to determine if there were visual performance improvements in an underground mining environment when using solid-state cap lamps with LEDs as compared to incandescent light bulbs commonly used in miner cap lamps.
-
11/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe main objective was to determine if there were visual performance improvements for the detection of moving objects in the peripheral field of view when using cool-white LED cap lamps as compared to incandescent cap lamps.
-
10/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe objective of the research described in this paper was to determine if light-emitting diodes (LEDs) improve visual performance as compared to traditional incandescent (INC) cap lamps.
