Gas Monitoring Corded Cap Lamp - SiriUS-LUX L3
Too often, personnel are exposed to harmful gases (such as carbon monoxide) because proper early-warning systems are not made use of. The latest feature of the SiriUS-LUX cap lamp now includes gas monitoring upgrades specifically with these types of emergency situations in mind.
With the new built-in gas monitoring options, the SiriUS-LUX combines the functionality of a hand-held gas monitor, with existing PPE requirements in the form of a cap lamp.
With its unique battery design, the SiriUS-LUX allows for gas tracking to take place without compromising the overall duration of the lamp – a minimum of 12-hours.
While gas monitoring is implemented, the SiriUS-LUX makes use of various tiered alarm systems to notify the wearer of any harmful gases that may disperse in the immediate environment.
Alarm Sequencing
The SiriUS-LUX provides three different alarm types to ensure
that at least one sensory response is triggered; including:
- audible alarm
- vibration
- visual flashing
All alarms will increase in frequency depending on the gas level and resulting danger within the area.

The SiriUS-LUX Cap Lamp features two unique beams; working in tandem to deliver a better field of vision for personnel, and a crisper, more natural light.
• A high-lux, intense spot beam provides focus
• A wide beam provides a more dispersed, further-reaching flood light
SiriUS-LUX Corded Cap Lamps provide on-going cost saving benefits to sites, thanks to a unique charging solution. Existing cap lamp designs are tied – almost quite literally – to the charging racks, with the lamp unable to be used until the battery is adequately charged. This reduces the usability of the lamp, resulting in large quantities of spare cap lamps being required on hand at all times.
A modular quick-connect battery responds to this inflexibility; allowing maximum versatility for users in a robust design that is both water and dust proof.
- Clip-in battery system allows for independent charging of batteries, negating the need for the lamp module to be present during the charging process; resulting in a significantly more resulting in a significantly more compact charging rack system
- Additional spare batteries can be kept on hand, equipping personnel with the resources to maintain productivity and ensure safety on the job.
A ‘low power’ mode is a major functional feature of the SiriUS-LUX Cap Lamps. When the lamp battery reaches 80% depletion, the lamp will flash; indicating it has entered ‘low power’ mode. The lamp will then dim; using less power and extending the lamp’s life span by an expected two hours – more than enough time for personnel to swap over to a fully charged battery.
GuardIAN Integration
With tracking already playing an important role in our GuardIAN IoT network, the amalgamation of the SiriUS-LUX with gas sensor is a natural pairing to the GuardIAN system. By combining these two products, it allows sites that have underground connectivity to optimise the live dashboard feature and monitor real-time gas reports.
Along with these live reports, the additional feature of logging each cap lamp’s data will assist sites in monitoring personnel exposure levels to various gasses. For sites where IOT and personnel tracking are not implemented, the cap lamps can easily be plugged into a desktop or laptop to view gas monitoring levels recorded via the lamp.
