The efficiency of cold storage units is essential to any restaurant or supermarket’s cleanliness and food safety. However, this sanitation is ineffective in many of these businesses due to faulty cold storage lighting. Fortunately, Relumination’s design for LED lighting solves these risks while saving the food industry money.
Many lights in cold storage units produce heat, compromising the necessary food temperatures. Restaurants will increase the use of air conditioning in an attempt to combat this. This is costly and does not guarantee that food will be kept within health code regulations. However, less than 10% of the energy used in Relumination’s LED lights is converted to heat. Unlike other lights, Relumination’s LED lights stay cool, maintain the temperature in cold storage, and save money on air conditioning.
Another fault of many cold storage lighting systems is that they are operated with a light switch. This may seem like an insignificant factor, but it can actually be a significant health concern. For instance, workers prepare various raw and cooked ingredients in a restaurant. They rush in and out of the cold storage, flicking on and off that light switch as they go. The many hands touching that same light switch with various ingredients and even cleaning chemicals create a considerable health hazard. Yes, the lights in the cold storage could be left on during the entire work day, but again, it is costly. Not only on the electric bill, but also on the air conditioning bill, if they are heat-producing lights, as mentioned above.
Relumination, of course, has a solution. Relumination offers lights controlled by motion sensors. This means that the lights turn on as soon as a worker walks into the cold storage. These motion sensor LED lights also have a feature called “Instant On.” Unlike most motion sensor lights that need time to warm up, Relumination LED lights instantly turn on to full power with dimming options.
Finally, Relumination LED lights are durable and are not made of glass. So if a light is dropped in the cold storage, there is no messy or dangerous cleanup near or in the food.
