Retail display case lighting applications

Retail Deli Equipment for Supermarket Display Cases

Merchandiser lighting is an essential piece of retail deli equipment that can cause damage to displayed delicatessen food. Radiation from deli display case lighting costs billions of dollars each year in spoiled food. Spoilage is prevalent in delicatessens where food needs to be displayed with minimal packaging.

Promolux lamps reduce radiation, minimizing damage to deli foods and prolonging deli food shelf life. After spending thousands of dollars on deli display cases and deli foods, why use lighting that will damage that food?

DELICATESSEN SALADS IN REFRIGERATED SUPERMARKET CABINETS
Leafy green salads and fruit salads become wilted under display case lamps, while pasta salads require frequent stirring to keep them looking fresh. UV radiation increases the risk of food poisoning from salads containing eggs and seafood. <more...>

REFRIGERATED DELI LUNCH MEATS IN COMMERCIAL MERCHANDISERS
Meat slices dry quickly and become discolored under deli display lighting, which can raise meat surface temperatures to unsafe levels. Cured meats and meats with herbs and spices discolor and become spoiled at faster rates under display lights. <more...>

REFRIGERATED DELICATESSEN CHEESES IN RETAIL DISPLAY CASES
Orange and yellow cheeses fade when exposed to light, while white cheeses such as feta can become discolored and develop off-flavors from lipid oxidation. <more...>

REFRIGERATED HOME MEAL REPLACEMENTS IN SUPERMARKET SHOWCASES
UV and visible spectrum light raise the temperature of displayed HMRs, increasing the risk of bacteria growth and spoilage from oxidation. The unbalanced visible spectrums of most retail lighting creates unappetizing displays, lowering impulse sales. <more...>

HOT FOOD BUFFETS IN RETAIL SHOWCASES
Deli display lighting causes hot food buffets to become dehydrated and can reduce the holding time of hot foods to thirty minutes or less. <more...>

Promolux True Color Definition Lamps

Promolux balanced spectrum lamps emit lower levels of heat and ultraviolet radiation than regular supermarket fluorescent lamps, prolonging the shelf life of delicatessen foods. Compared to other fluorescent lighting, Promolux lamps emit 86% lower UV B radiation, a shorter wavelength that penetrates and causes heating, and 52% lower UV A radiation, a longer wavelength that tends to affect surfaces.

Because Promolux lamps are designed for true color definition, they have a more balanced visible spectrum than other fluorescent lamps. The yellow and green wavelengths that are predominant in regular fluorescent lighting are the most damaging wavelengths in the visible spectrum. Promolux lamps emit a more balanced range of wavelengths, including more of the red and blue wavelengths and more moderate levels of the yellow and green wavelengths, which results in greater sales through better eye appeal and increased consumer impulse shopping.
