Six Reasons For LED Lighting In Walk-In Coolers And Freezers

Posted in Green by mmathews on 03/17 at 11:57 PM

Back in 2009 we covered the Luxim bulb, an advance in LED lighting that is still in research, and we have used LED lighting for Imperial walk-in coolers and freezers for some time.

Now LED lights have reached the tipping point where cost and efficiency make them much more desirable than other lighting used in walk-in coolers and freezers.

Here are our six reasons to use this sustainable and efficient light source:
1. Specifically designed and manufactured for use in wet and cold environments, -40 degrees F(C)
2. No heat given off to defeat the refrigeration process
3. No mercury as a possible food contaminant, possible with CFL lamps, ROHS compliant
4. 50,000 hour rated life (5.5 years if left on 24/7) - up to five times as long as typical incandescent lamps
5. Daylight color at 5000K for quick identification of product
6. Up to 85% reduction in energy use, a significant savings combined with lower maintenance requirements that pay back in 12-26 months

We specify the Kason 1806 and 1810 LED fixtures and lamps in Imperial walk-in coolers and freezers. Kason fixtures and lamps are built to handle the tough working conditions found in walk-in coolers and freezers, with tough fixtures that protect the LED lamps while providing the maximum amount of light in the walk-in cooler or freezer.

Get more information on Kason 1806 and 1810 LED fixtures and lamps and talk with your Imperial rep.
