Commercial LED Lighting: A Grocery Store Trend

There are many grocery stores across the United States that are seeing the benefits of LED lighting. LED lights attract customers, and make the food look more appetizing and appealing to them. For example, the LED lights can make fruits and vegetables look fresh, as well as make the frozen foods boxes and labels stand out. While you may be wondering how that is possible, LED lights cast a different sort of lighting and when it comes to showcasing food, many believe it makes food look more appealing.

Changing your grocery store lighting will not only make the food look better, but you can save money. LED lighting can cut energy costs because they do not use a lot of power.

Your favorite green vegetables and bright fruits will appeal to your customers, and show them how much your store cares about quality. Your customers generally look at the appearance of your meats to determine the freshness. LED lighting can enhance the meat on its display. Additionally, normal lighting radiates heat which is the last thing you want when refrigerating meat. LED lights remain much cooler than other alternatives.

Most of your grocery store’s energy use is probably on refrigeration. The majority of the use is towards the refrigerator cases, freezers, and the soda cases near the checkout counters.

When you add LED lighting to your refrigerator display cases and freezers, you can receive the following benefits:

Reduction on energy costs: The systems in LED lighting will not emit an excess amount of heat, so the compressor does not have to do so much work. The LED cases will perform at low temperatures.

Reduction on maintenance costs: LED lights have a longer useful life than fluorescent lights, resulting in decreased maintenance.

Environmentally-friendly: The lighting in LED does not contain mercury. The low consumption of energy will not have any gas emissions.
