The low color rendering index (CRI) of HPS lighting creates a dismal environment that can affect employees’ energy and alertness levels. With physical labor, 24-hour operations and 12-hour shifts extremely common in the shale gas businesses, fatigue and drowsiness can be a key contributor to accidents and injuries.
The customization, engineering and flexibility of design allow for use on virtually all oilfield derricks and can eliminate the need for Conventional Light Towers.
Industrial LED technology provides crisp, clear, white light that mimics daylight, which helps improve workers’ visibility, safety and alertness. In one study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), floor trip-hazard detection improved by 23.7%, and a CDC/NIOSH study found that workers could detect trip hazards 94% faster with LED lighting in place.
Safety Benefits from Using Light Sources like C-MOR’s Crown Light™ include:
The Crown Jewel™ value proposition has so many benefits to the installed base, through increased safety, productivity, positive environmental impact and costs savings. Some of the benefits cannot have a quantifiable dollar amount.
“Unlike Most Pad Site Lighting Requiring Diesel Face, Our Lighting System Runs Off the Rig's Power Source, Significantly Improving Economics and Reducing Carbon Emissions.”
“The C-MOR Crown Jewel™ is the right light for any MRO location in the Bakken. The hands wish MRO had it 10 years ago. Economically, MRO is saving money by having the Crown Jewel run off rig power instead of light towers running off diesel & eliminating hot shots transporting light plants. Safety, C-MOR Crown Jewel™ is a no brainer. Anyone that says they believe in safety better have a Jewel on top of the crown. The visibility is better for everyone on location & there are fewer light plants on location to be RU & RD. Efficiency, less equipment on location, better visibility, reduced cost, hands love it, of course the Jewel is more efficient.”

“We have installed one system on another rig and everyone loves it. With the increase in costs for the light towers these lights now make good economic sense.”

“Two things I miss from my last rig are the crews (they were trying and coming around) and our Crown Light™ system. Like going back to the caveman days without them.”

“With Felderhoff moving in next door and having the Crown Light™ system, we’ve even benefited from their lighting. I think we’re all in agreement that this system is far more superior than using the light plants. From a cost standpoint we currently have several light plants for $30/day each. With the fuel added each day and the usage of them being turned on for 14 hours/day we saving money with the Crown Light™ system. The part I like is how low maintenance the system is and the time saved for the motor man to be focused on the necessary rig components, but most importantly is the safety. With our location lit up properly, we are eliminating many hazards altogether. After looking at the design and price, I know we all feel there should be no reason not to have these on every rig in the Permian.”

“You have a hell of a good product and it has the potential to save more lives by eradicating the dark where all those creepy crawlers like to bite from. It was a real pleasure to meet you and a blessing from God!”
