Design, Modeling & Analysis of a Light Mast Tower

Renuka Ghusey | Shailesh Dhomne

Abstract: Lighting is a major requirement when we deal with working inside a mine whether it is Underground or Opencast mining. In opencast mining efficient lighting system is required while working during dark hours. In underground mining a very efficient lighting system is required when worked underground hours for whole day long. In the present work a new system of light mast tower is proposed & designed which increases the usability of the existing light mast towers. In this new system, each light of the light mast is given a rotation about its vertical & horizontal axis which enables the light to focus at any particular direction & position without disturbing the other lights in use. In addition to this 360o rotation about the vertical axis which enables the user to provide the light source at multiple positions.
