“Went the other day to inspect the original light you provided as a sample to us to test and after 6 years the light is still burning, this is the reason we are making the change over to the Minilite.
Thank you.”

“After many discussions with the DMR over low light levels, the Minilite has come to our rescue and become a standard with us. We have many of them underground. Some are over five years old and still performing like they did when we first installed them.”
Exxaro Mine – Matla shaft
A few years ago, after vigorous testing of three underground lighting solutions, we settled on the Minilite solution as a replacement for our existing, underperforming LED strip light installation. As the years have progressed, our decision has proven to be correct. The Minilite Solution is a high quality solution which is not only easy to install but out performs and outlasts all competition, illuminating our travel and work areas effectively and without any decline in the light levels over time. We continue to extend the solution across all areas of the mine as it extends underground.”

“The Minilite system has become a standard in many of our underground areas. We have Minilites that far outlast their expected lifespan with very little to no drop in their effectiveness in illuminating the area they were installed in.”

“Exxaro has been using the Ezesafe flameproof light for many years as a standard stock item. Over the years the product has undergone many improvements which is testament to their ongoing R&D. Illumination of our sections is good and with the more recent introduction of their maintenance light, the NZO, we now have illumination during power outages for the safe completion of tasks such as belt extensions, etc.”

“The Minilite solution has been in use at our mine for over 8 years and has been a great solution for us. During that time, as with most mines, we occasionally had budgetary constraints, due to the robust nature of the Minilite and their reliability, we have been able to reclaim rather than buy new pre-wired cables and minilites. This has saved us significant budget. The Minilites continue to outlast all other lighting we have tried in the past.”

“Illumination around our main cage on surface, has been poor for quite sometime. After consultation with Ramika Projects, we decided to replace the four 1000W HPS lights with their four of their latest NMF 145W LED Floodlight. The results have been more than pleasing, with the area being significantly more illuminated than ever previously.”
Sasol Twistdraai, Thubelisha, Secunda
“We have installed the pre-wired Minilite solution on all of our underground conveyor belt drives. Our belt drives have been visited by many from upper management to foreman from other Sasol mining BU’s, all have been very impressed with the light levels achieved and the system as a whole. The Minilite has become the go to solution for us on most of our underground as well as some surface applications, it is that versatile.”
Sasol Syferfontein, Secunda
“Ramika Projects listened to the problem we were experiencing with regards to our overland conveyor belt lighting and worked with their R&D department to provide a solution. The original bulkheads were old and contained old HPS lighting components. To replace all of these with new housings etc would not only have taken extremely long and would have involved a lot of down time on the belts as well as labour, instead they developed an LED gear tray that could be easily installed into the existing housings. Not only would this save money on retrofitting the old ineffective solution to a new defective solution but it took the electrical usage down by over 60%. This constitutes a significant operational saving over the 3000 plus fittings. The innovation has proved to be significant and is currently being rolled out to all similar bulkheads.”
