露天矿占地面积大，随着开采的进行，形状不断变化。为了在不同的工作区域实现各种机械的生产和安全操作，需要有效的照明。移动式采矿机械配备了由车载发电机供电的灯具。矿井工作面采用移动式灯塔进行一般照明。深而紧凑的矿坑和永久性设施，如料堆、输送机和加工厂，可通过固定照明装置进行照明。为每个工作区域提供照度水平，以满足设备操作员和其他工人的能见度要求。灯具必须具有高度保护，防止灰尘和水分进入，因为露天环境中普遍存在空气- 投掷地雷。灯具的设计和安装必须便于维护。严格遵守约定的维护计划，对于防止光线随时间过度流失，避免在更高的初始照明水平上进行资本投资，从而节约能源非常重要。描述了平均照度、均匀度和眩光限制等照明质量参数。进一步的指导可以从现有的CIE出版物中获得。给出了露天矿典型区域的要求。报告用英文写成，并附有法文和德文的简短摘要。它有30页。

Open-cast mines cover a large area and continually change their shape as mining proceeds. Effective illumination is required to achieve production and safe operation of various machinery at different work areas.Mobile mining machinery is equipped with luminaires powered by on board generators. Movable lighting towers are used in the mine faces for general lighting. Deep, compact pits and permanent facilities such as stockpiles, conveyors and processing plant, can be lit from fixed lighting arrangements.Illuminance levels are provided for each work area to meet the visibility requirements of equipment operators and other workers.Luminaires must have a high degree of protection against ingress of dust and moisture due to the atmosphere prevalent in open-cast mines. Luminaire design and installation must facilitate ease of maintenance. Strict adherence to agreed-upon maintenance schedules is important for prevention of undue loss of light with time and to avoid capital investment in higher initial lighting levels thus saving energy.Lighting quality parameters like average illuminance, uniformity and glare limitation have been described. Further guidance can be obtained from existing CIE publications. Requirements for areas typical of open-cast mines have been given.The report is written in English with a short summary in French and German. It contains 30 pages.
