Nordic Lights makes powerful lights for powerful machines
Visibility is everything when you’re operating heavy machinery, and no one brightens the path like Nordic Lights. Specialising in high-performance lighting solutions for heavy-duty vehicles, the company has solidified its reputation in tough industries such as mining, construction, forestry, and material handling. Nordic Lights’ partners include the world’s largest construction equipment manufacturers.
“Our focus on automation has been key to staying ahead of the competition. By automating key assembly and warehouse functions, we can optimise our processes while ensuring our products meet the standards of global machine manufacturers and the harsh conditions the vehicles operate in”, says Managing Director Antti Turja.
In recent years, the company has invested heavily in developing lighting simulations to accurately model real-world conditions.
“Using 3D models and measured lighting data, we can simulate how our products will perform on various vehicles. We know how to provide the right amount of light exactly where it is needed, with less energy wasted. This is especially important in environments with other vehicles and people nearby, where glare from work lights can cause discomfort or even accidents. Functional and efficient lighting improves safety while reducing energy consumption and downtime”, Turja explains.
Energy efficiency is an important consideration for the company, which has long recognised the sustainability of LED technology.
“Our LED solutions allow us to produce the same amount of light using less energy, which is a crucial step in reducing our carbon footprint,” says Turja.
The future points towards the development of autonomous machinery. Lights will play a pivotal role in these machines, indicating their movements. Turja states that Nordic Lights is already preparing for this shift.
“Signal lights will become more important as vehicles operate without drivers, allowing for clear communication of their status in real time.”
