LED Lighting – What It Is And Why You Should Use It In Your Cold Room?

Chiller and freezer cold rooms require some form of light source to ensure your walk-in cold room is safe, first and foremost, and can be easily managed. But with the low temperatures in your temperature-controlled room, do you need a specific cold room lighting solution?

 

MTCSS recommend using an LED lighting solution for your cold rooms – why? Because an LED lighting solution design specifically for cold storage means that the light won’t give off extra heat, so the internal temperature of your room won’t be affected, and your refrigeration unit won’t need to work harder to maintain these temperatures.

Not only do LED lights for cold rooms protect the internal temperatures, but they are also designed to be more durable within extreme temperatures (cold and freezing) and to be resistant to harsh chemicals for temperature-controlled rooms which are high risk, or require intense cleaning.

A durable lighting system, designed specifically for cold rooms, will mean less maintenance is required, lower energy usage and improved safety – as the lights are less likely to have problems at the low temperatures required.

LED lights for cold rooms have the bonus of being designed to be easily cleaned, maintained, and inspected, making them ideal for food safe and pharmaceutical environments where hygiene is imperative.

Suitable lighting throughout your chiller and freezer cold rooms keeps your staff and your products safe. We can also provide solutions for emergency lighting within cold room and insulated panel chambers.
