Cap Lamps

 

Mark II

Mark II (5100):
Our 5100 Series Caplamps feature a phenolic headpiece, providing a high degree of chemical resistance and a key type connection of headpiece to charger. Mark II Wheat caplamps feature an intrinsically-safe battery, a specially-designed highly flexible cord, and a dual filament Xenon bulb with both filaments fully focusable. A single knob controls all switch and focusing functions. Lamps are charged through their headpieces.

 

Mark V

Mark V (5200):

5200 Series Cap Lamps feature a smaller, Lexan headpiece which provides high impact resistance and a lighter weight. Also features a fully focusable dual filament Xenon bulb and a slide type connection of head-piece to charger Mark V Wheat caplamps feature an intrinsically-safe battery, a specially-designed highly flexible cord, and a dual filament Xenon bulb with both filaments fully focusable. A single knob controls all switch and focusing functions. Lamps are charged through their headpieces.

 

Series E

Series E (6400):

Koehler's Series E (6400) Wheat Cap Lamp is designed to meet international mining requirements. The Series E employs two fixed focus bulbs: a primary 1.0 amp Halogen bulb and an auxiliary 0.5 amp Argon bulb. A single knob lights and extinguishes each bulb in turn. The improved design makes assembly and repair simple. Series E Wheat caplamps feature an intrinsically-safe battery and a specially-designed highly flexible cord. Lamps are charged through their headpieces.

 

LI 16

LI-16:

The WHEATÆ LI-16 Caplamp System is designed to be an ergonomic, user friendly, no maintenance alternative to the traditional Lead Acid powered caplamp system. At the heart of this new generation Caplamp System is a Lithium-Ion battery pack. This allows it to be very small and very light weight. In fact, it takes up only one third of the volume and weighs only 25% of our standard Lead Acid Caplamp System.

 

Wheat Batteries

 

Wheat Lamp battery

Koehlerô WheatÆ Caplamps are a unique combination of lighting, energy storage and power conversion elements which provide the ultimate in personal lighting and safety. WheatÆ Batteries are lead-acid technology and Made in the USA. All WheatÆ batteries are covered by a 20-month warranty. The unique deep-discharge design comprises the best in safety, reliability, low maintenance cost and long life.

 

Bulbs

 

Wheat Lamp Bulbs

BM-30G:

The BM30G bulb is manufactured with higher quality materials and offers a better spot than before. This 4-volt xenon bulb is rated at 40 lumens with dual-equal focusable filaments and offers a typical field life of 400+ hours. The BM30G features a frosted tip on the bulb to reduce halo effect.

Lamp Head Options

 

In redesigning the lamp head for the Northern Light GII, we took into consideration 17 years of past experience and have developed two lamp heads. The first uses a 6V-flanged bulb that provides a cost-effective spot and high light output. The second, uses a bulb glued into the reflector providing a tight, round spot required for coal mining. The gluing aspect however, makes this lamp head more expensive.

 

Lamp Cord Options

 

Our standard lamp cord assembly is 50" long and can also be purchased in a 60" length.

 

Radio Cap Lamps

HT 750 Radio

HT 750 Radio

 

Extra Features & Benefits

 

  • Compact, lightweight, Ni-MH cells, ergonomic shape, designed to be used for up to a 12-hr work shift

  • Northern Light + Motorola = quality, durability, and product support

  • High beam power option for inspection applications

Using modern NiCad technology with your handheld Radio offers:

 

Complete Control

Integrating the radio module into the cap lamp will virtually eliminate lost or damaged radios

 

 

Efficiency

Eliminating radio batteries, chargers, and an item from the miners belt means less weight, less parts, and less cost.

 

 

System Requirements

The Radio Cap Lamp can be programmed to operate for direct line-of-site communications, without the use of additional hardware. In this case, channels should be programmed with the transmit frequencies identical to the receive frequencies.

 

Where it is necessary to communicate over greater distances, or through areas where signals cannot penetrate, it is necessary to use a repeater system such as Leaky Feeder, capable of operating at the frequency ranges below. In this case, the user must operate the radio within line-of-site, of the repeater antenna, or Leaky Feeder cable.
