PROMOLUX Applications

MEAT DISPLAY CASES
Millions of dollars are lost each year in the United States and Canada because consumers prefer meat that is an ideal color. Poor quality lighting causes meat to turn brown prematurely and accelerates bacterial growth and decomposition. <more...>

DELI DISPLAY CASES
When exposed to regular display case lighting, meats, cheeses, and salads become dehydrated and discolored, while hot food displays also become overcooked. Spices and herbs absorb light, accelerating the decomposition process. <more...>

SEAFOOD DISPLAY CASES
UV radiation from display case lighting raises the surface temperature of fish and seafood, causing harmful bacteria to grow exponentially, and dehydrating the seafood which leads to lower profits when the seafood is sold by weight. <more...>

PRODUCE DISPLAY CASES
Regular fluorescent lights cost up to $1 per foot per day due to dehydration, shrinkage, and over ripening. UV radiation causes potatoes to turn green and develop high levels of the poison solanine. <more...>

BAKERY DISPLAY CASES
Promolux lamps extend bakery shelf life by up to 50% by preventing dehydration. Under regular lighting, cream turns rancid, food coloring fades, and chocolates form a white surface film. <more...>

DAIRY DISPLAY CASE LIGHTING
Within a few hours of exposure to fluorescent display case lighting, milkfats turn rancid, off-flavors develop, and several vitamins are destroyed. Under UV radiation, cheese fades, and ice cream melts, forming ice crystals when it refreezes. <more...>

FLORAL DISPLAY CASE LIGHTING
Floral display case lamps accelerate the decomposition process of cut flowers, causing them to wilt prematurely. Spring flowers and roses are particularly sensitive to UV radiation. <more...>

BEVERAGE DISPLAY CASE LIGHTING
Beer, wine, and fruit juices must be protected from any light source that emits UV radiation as light will cause these beverages to smell and taste skunky if they are stored in clear bottles. <more...>

FOOD SERVICE DISPLAY CASE LIGHTING
Display lamps on hot food buffets continue to cook the food, drying it out, reducing its holding time, and leading to spoilage. On cold buffets and salad bars, leafy green vegetables and fruit wilt and Jello becomes rubbery. <more...>

PACKAGED FOOD DISPLAY CASE LIGHTING
Light is damaging for processed foods, such as vegetable oils and any food packaged in clear glass jars. <more...>

VISUAL MERCHANDISING DISPLAY CASE LIGHTING
True color rendering is very important for many non-food applications including art, cosmetics, jewelry, leather, glass, china, clothing, and carpets. Many of these products will fade when exposed to UV radiation. <more...>
