Produce Department Displays in
Supermarket Showcases
In the produce industry, eye appeal is buy appeal, and the most successful
produce displays are also the most colorful. It is therefore vital
that fruits and vegetables in supermarket produce departments are displayed
under lighting that reveals the true colors of the produce, but does
not damage sensitive perishables.
Most supermarket fluorescent lighting
is skewed to enhance green and yellow, which causes other colors
such as red and white to appear discolored or not as bright as they should
be. Under normal supermarket produce display case lighting, strawberries
and radishes often look dull and cauliflower look yellow. Promolux balanced
spectrum lamps reveal the true vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables.
POTATO
GREENING IN SUPERMARKET PRODUCE DISPLAYS
Light causes potatoes to turn green and accelerates the production of solanine,
a poisonous and potentially fatal toxin also found in eggplants, tomatoes, and
peppers. Under display lighting, solanine levels can increase tenfold. <more...>

SHRINKAGE
OF RETAIL FRUIT AND VEGETABLE DISPLAYS
Radiation and heat from retail display lighting lead to dehydration and product
shrinkage, which can cost as much as $1 per foot per day. Leafy green vegetables
and soft fruits dehydrate easily and are the greatest source of loss. <more...>

Promolux Balanced Spectrum Lamps
Natural colors remain true with Promolux high color definition lamps
because they have a more balanced visible spectrum than other fluorescent
lamps, including more of the red and blue wavelengths, and more moderate
levels of the most damaging visible spectrum wavelengths, yellow and
green. Promolux retail produce lighting also emit lower levels of ultraviolet
radiation and heat than other commercial lighting commonly found in
supermarket produce departments, making these specialty produce display
case lamps the perfect lighting choice for the produce industry.
