Before the order, know why mine site lighting fails.
Four failure modes decide whether an LED fitting survives on an Australian mine site. Our free guide shows what to look for in a specification, from any supplier.

The fitting is the smallest number in the equation.
On most sites, the labour and access cost of replacing one failed fitting is higher than the fitting itself, often several times over. A failure costs you:
Access equipment
Elevated work platform hire to reach the failed fitting.
Isolation and labour
An electrician, an isolation and an access window, all lined up in an operating area.
Safety exposure
A dark walkway or conveyor gantry while you wait for all three.
Where does it run? That decides how it fails.
The guide works through each one: the site problem, the design decisions that engineer against it, and what to ask for in a specification.

Specifying LED Lighting for Mine Sites was written for maintenance engineers, reliability engineers and electrical supervisors. Thirteen pages, applicable to any luminaire from any supplier.
- Four failure modes. The site problem, the engineering answer and the cost angle for each.
- What to look for. Specification points at the close of every section.
- Total cost of ownership. Commodity versus engineered fittings, factor by factor.
- Specification checklist. Ten questions in one place, for any product.
Ten questions to put to any supplier.
A fitting that can't answer them on paper will answer them on site, at your cost.
- 1Surge immunity documented to IEC 61000‑4‑5?
- 2Wide input voltage range with headroom?
- 3Purpose-built LED housing, or a retrofit design?
- 4–10Lifetime, ingress rating, gaskets, serviceability, lens contamination and local support. In the guide.

Questions to ask before you specify.
Straight answers on scope, lifetime, maintenance and cost. For the full specification standard, download the guide.
Have a site-specific question?
Tell us where the fitting runs. Our lighting team will come back with the right fitting and a cost comparison using your site figures.
Is WARRIOR suitable for hazardous areas?
No. WARRIOR is designed for general industrial and mine site areas such as processing plants, conveyors and walkways. For Zone 1 and Zone 2 locations, Raytec's SPARTAN range shares the same housing architecture with hazardous area certification. View hazardous area lighting
How long will a WARRIOR fitting last?
WARRIOR is designed for an L70B10 lifetime beyond 100,000 hours. That means after 100,000 hours, at least 90% of fittings still deliver 70% or more of their original light output. Ask any supplier for the same figure and the test basis behind it.
Can the lens be replaced on site?
Yes. The lens is a stocked spare part, so a contaminated fitting can be restored without being removed or sent back to the manufacturer. WARRIOR Linear also takes a peel-off lens film that restores light output in seconds, with no tools or cleaning chemicals.
Is WARRIOR more expensive than other fittings?
Not necessarily. WARRIOR is competitively priced, so you don't have to trade reliability for budget. And because access, isolation and labour cost the same for any failed fitting, fewer failures mean a lower total cost over its life. Ask us for a quote or download the guide for the full cost of ownership comparison.
Can you help with a lighting design?
Yes. We offer a complimentary lighting design for mine site applications. Send us the application to get started.
Do you hold WARRIOR stock in Australia?
Yes. We hold WARRIOR stock in our Perth and Sydney branches. Our lighting team supports you from enquiry to installation.
