# Iluminatronics — Complete Site Content > Iluminatronics manufactures IP68-rated waterproof LED strip lighting for mining tunnels, metro systems, conveyor belts, and industrial infrastructure. Based in Laredo, Texas, USA. ## About Iluminatronics Our company, Iluminatronics, specializes in the design and manufacture of LED strips and LED hoses for tunnels, for harsh environments of rough use, waterproof IP68 to illuminate mining tunnels, trains, subways, hydroelectric tunnels, or any type of service tunnel like fiber optic ducts or electrical wiring, etc. LED strips have a wide application in mining tunnels to provide higher quality lighting that increases the productivity and safety of solid rock mines, for example gold, silver, platinum, copper, precious gems and diamond mining tunnels, etc. Iluminatronics LED strips are made with the highest quality and safety materials such as food-grade silicone, a halogen-free fire-retardant material that does not produce toxic gases when burned, to prevent accidents or deaths due to inhalation of toxic gases inside mining tunnels or any confined area. The constant innovation of our products, the experiences acquired over more than two decades are reflected in the quality of our products. We would be pleased to serve you. We have our main office located in Texas, USA, a marketing company located in Monterrey, Mexico, from where we serve all Latin America, as well as various distributors all over the world to be closer to you. ## Products ### 15W-L10-230V-W 15W white IP68 waterproof LED strip, 230V direct line voltage, 10-meter segments for mining tunnel illumination. ### 6W-L10-48V 6W white IP68 waterproof LED strip, 48V low-voltage with external driver, 10-meter segments for safer maintenance-friendly tunnel runs. ### 10W-L10-230V-A 10W amber IP68 waterproof LED strip, 230V, DS43-certified dark-sky-friendly for conveyor belt and outdoor mining areas. ### 15W-L10-230V-G 15W green IP68 waterproof LED strip, 230V, for tunnel route marking, signal contrast, and emergency guidance. ### 15W-L10-230V-R 15W red IP68 waterproof LED strip, 230V, for danger zone signaling and low-glare guidance in service tunnels. ### 15W-L10-230V-B 15W blue IP68 waterproof LED strip, 230V, for tunnel identification, process areas, and infrastructure route differentiation. ### EPS50 Emergency power supply unit for LED strip backup lighting, providing battery-powered evacuation route illumination during power outages. ### LED strip splitters IP68 waterproof Y-splitter connectors for branching LED strip runs at tunnel junctions and intersections. ## Solutions ### 220V LED strips for mining tunnels We help you achieve better lighting quality to improve productivity and safety in harsh environments like underground mines. ### LED strips for subway tunnels Eliminates the zebra effect caused by the separation of luminaires in subway tunnels, reducing visual fatigue for operators and preventing accidents. ### LED strips for conveyor belts Amber LED strip for conveyors with DS43 certification to avoid polluting the sky so that birds do not lose their orientation during the night. ### Emergency LED strips for tunnels Emergency LED strip lighting with battery backup for an alternate evacuation route in case the main tunnel is interrupted by a collapse. ### 48V LED strips for mining tunnels Low-voltage waterproof strip lighting for underground mines that need external drivers and safer maintenance-friendly runs. ### Green LED strip light for tunnels High-visibility green tunnel lighting for route marking, signal contrast, and industrial emergency guidance. ### Red LED strip light for tunnels Red silicone LED strip lighting for signaling, alert zones, and low-glare guidance through service or extraction tunnels. ### Blue LED strip light for tunnels Blue industrial LED strips for tunnel identification, process areas, and infrastructure routes that need differentiated color lighting. ## Key Benefits ### Design Our LED strips are IP68 waterproof and heavy-duty, specially designed for harsh environments in tunnels where there is water runoff and acidic water. ### Quality There are many types of commercial LED strips made of PVC, but Iluminatronics LED strip extrusions are made of food-grade silicone, a fire-retardant material that, when burned, does not generate toxic gases that can easily poison people in confined areas like tunnels. ### Guarantee Everybody knows that no one is responsible for guarantees on electrical products in real life. We are professionals who trust in our LED strip designs which have overvoltage and short-circuit protections and are guaranteed for 5 years of normal use or 3 years when used in 24/7 shifts such as mining tunnels. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the advantage of lighting tunnels with LED strips instead of traditional luminaires? Traditional luminaires are separated by several meters, so the separation creates dark rings, while the luminaires' locations create light rings. Therefore, when driving through a tunnel, we feel the light flicker as we travel through these rings at higher speeds, and this flickering effect causes eye fatigue. ### Are these LED strips waterproof? You know tunnels not only drain water sometimes they flood. We're aware of this, which is why our LED strips are waterproof, including connectors with an IP68 penetration rating. This means they can be submerged in water, regardless of whether it's acidic. ### What material are the LED strips made of? Are they toxic when burned? Tunnels are confined areas where gases accumulate during a fire, which is why our LED strips are extruded with food-grade silicone, a transparent, resistant and fire-retardant material. This means that when burned, it does not generate toxic gases and is halogen-free. ### What lengths of LED strip do you manufacture and why? For mining tunnels, we manufacture 10m LED strips, joining them in 50m series. This is because tunnels often lack proper maintenance, causing the floor level to rise and trucks to hit the LED strips, damaging them. When this happens, it's easier to replace 10m than 50m. For subway and train tunnels that don't suffer from this problem, we can manufacture 25m and 50m segments to speed up replacement. ### Does vibration affect the LED strip? The vibration caused by mining machinery or subway wagons does not affect LED strips at all. ### What voltages are required to power LED strips? For high voltage LED strips we use a 220VAC live wire plus neutral or two 110VAC live wires of different phases and indistinct polarity, and for low voltage 48VDC LED strips we use an external multi-voltage driver from 100 to 300VAC regardless of the country or electrical standard. ### What colors of LED strips are available in your product catalog? All the colors you want are available. ### Where can I buy your products? We don't sell to end customers, but you can purchase the product directly from one of our agents. If there isn't one in your country, you can apply to become one. ### How can I become your agent? You must apply, fill out a form, and demonstrate the type of service or product you currently provide to the mining and subway sector, for example, electrical supplier, consumables and tools supplier, or tunnel builder. ### Where are LED strips manufactured? Although our LED strip is designed and prototyped in Texas, USA, due to operational and logistical costs, it is more practical and economical to manufacture and ship it to the rest of the world from our factory in Asia. ## Contact Information ### Physical Address Iluminatronics: 1211 San Dario Ave. # 2068, Laredo Texas 78040 USA ### Email Address sales@iluminatronics.com contacto@iluminatronics.com ### Phone Numbers +1 941 893 2696 +52 81 1010 2585 (WhatsApp) ### Regional Agents - Geo Solutech - Zacatecas Mex - Gamazon Industrial - Toluca, Estado de Mexico - Electroiluminacion - Guadalajara Jal Mex - Distelsa - Nicaragua - Valdur Ingenieros - Peru - Santiago de Chile ## Customer References Iluminatronics products are used by: Torex Gold, First Majestic, Fresnillo, Metro CDMX, Newmont Goldcorp, Ternium, Agnico Eagle, Fortuna Mining.
