Client Background
ArcelorMittal Infrastructure is a division of ArcelorMittal, the world’s leading integrated steel and mining company with operations spanning multiple continents. The division specialises in delivering large-scale infrastructure projects across diverse sectors including construction, energy, and industrial facilities. Operating in some of the world’s most challenging environments, from Arctic conditions in Canada to remote industrial sites globally, ArcelorMittal Infrastructure requires robust, reliable equipment capable of performing in extreme temperatures and harsh operational settings. With a commitment to safety, efficiency, and operational excellence, the company demands solutions that can withstand demanding conditions while maintaining consistent performance and minimising downtime across their extensive project portfolio.
The Challenge
Inadequate Visibility: The existing competitor lighting was too dim for safe operations in minus 25-30°C environments, compromising visibility and operational efficiency.
Extreme Environmental Demands: The solution needed to withstand harsh winter conditions with temperatures dropping to minus 20-30°C.
Operational Efficiency Requirements: Any replacement solution needed to be simple to program and quick to install to minimize downtime across multiple equipment sites.
The goal was to implement a high-performance lighting solution delivering superior brightness, reliable winter performance, and ease of deployment in extreme temperatures.
The Solution
Working closely with ArcelorMittal Infrastructure, London Electronics provided a high-performance lighting solution specifically engineered for extreme industrial environments. Key elements included:
- Superior Brightness: The Super Stainless Steel Fusion SSP delivered significantly enhanced visibility compared to the previous system, ensuring safe and efficient operations in low-light and extreme cold conditions.
- Extreme Temperature Performance: Built-in heating elements enabled reliable operation in temperatures as low as minus 30°C, maintaining consistent performance throughout harsh winter conditions.
- Integrated Programmability: A built-in programmer allowed for easy configuration and customisation to meet specific operational requirements without additional external components.
- Rapid Deployment: The solution was designed for simple, quick installation, minimising downtime and allowing ArcelorMittal to efficiently roll out the system across multiple equipment sites.
The Results
The London Electronics Super Stainless Steel Fusion SSP exceeded expectations, delivering immediate and measurable improvements for ArcelorMittal Infrastructure, a global leader operating across multiple continents with some of the world’s most demanding project environments.
Working through distributor CTH Controls, the solution proved its value from the initial deployment:
“The operation team has only good things to say yet. The difference between that one and our old one is phenomenal. We are currently testing them with the winter; we already had some -20 to -30 and everything was running great. We only did one equipment yet to do a small ‘run test’ but in about 3 weeks, we will conclude this and install them on our other equipment.”

Conclusion
The collaboration with ArcelorMittal Infrastructure demonstrated how purpose-built industrial solutions can overcome the challenges of operating in the world’s most extreme environments. By delivering a lighting system specifically engineered for harsh conditions, London Electronics enabled safer, more efficient operations across global project sites.
The solution not only provided immediate operational benefits, such as dramatically improved visibility and proven reliability in minus 30°C conditions, but also supported ArcelorMittal’s commitment to operational excellence and safety in demanding environments.
