| Freezers and cold stores - LED lighting inside the rooms and units |
|
LED lighting is ideal for lighting products in freezers for its low heat emission. Besides the low power consumption, the costs for product cooling will decrease considerably. The operation temperature of LEDs lay between -40°C and 80° C and are thus also operable in very cold conditions. LED lights are also ideal for cold stores with very low temperatures. Usually cold stores are installed with fluorescent lighting. Due to the low temperatures tl lamps emit only 50 percent of its light versus 100 percent light with LED technology. Tl lamps also have difficulties starting up at low temperatures, the warming up time is very long. Therefore people often choose to let fluorescent lamps burn continuously, causing the energy consumption to rise. LED lamps have a very fast switching time. Turn the switch and light is on instantaneously. Also LED lamps have a lifetime up to five times longer compared to fluorescent lamps.
