Promolux lamps emit lower levels of UV radiation in comparison to common fluorescent lighting or other LEDs on the market. Promolux lamps are both safe and ideal to use in bakery showcases where delicate items like chocolates, cakes and pastries are in close proximity to light sources.

Thanks to its proprietary nature of being a balanced spectrum light, Promolux lighting is best able to showcase the items in bakery displays by revealing the true bounty of rich, natural and vibrant colors within each item. Furthermore, the low radiation characteristics of Promolux lamps help protect the freshness, appearance and integrity of those fragile bakery food items.

For independent bakery owners, the daily and annual savings of extending the shelf life of bakery items by up to 50% and reducing overall shrinkage by 30% to 50% is huge. Promolux lighting helps boutique and specialty shops distinguish themselves and their offerings while helping them to remain competitive.

Retail Bakery Display Case Lighting

Is your chocolate forming a white film?

Are the icings on your cakes fading?

Are the buttery creams and tasty fillings going hard and off-flavoring?

The lights in your retail bakery display case are most likely affecting your specialty bakery items.
Fact: Certain wavelengths from common fluorescent lamps and ordinary LED lighting are quite damaging to bakery foods and the ingredients they are comprised of, like butters, creams and frostings.

For many heat and light sensitive bakery goods, the light source causes physical changes in both the appearance and freshness of the item. In addition, it causes chemical changes which affect the foods natural flavors, integrity and food safety.

The Type Of Lighting You Use In Your Bakery Showcases Will Impact The Sales and Appearance Of Your Bakery Items

Shoppers want to purchase freshly baked and delectable bakery creations – they never want hardened, faded and weak tasting items.

For bakery departments and bakery shops, the time and effort you put into each creation should be thoroughly enjoyed by your customers.

And you should be rewarded by the compliments and loyalty of shoppers who come back again and again to buy your tasty treats.

Don’t compromise the quality of desserts that contain eggs and dairy products. Don’t let your baked goods become stale. Stop colorful icings from fading and fruits from drying and wilting.

Use Promolux fluorescent lights and LEDs – the only balanced spectrum low radiation lighting that truly highlights and protects the delectable treats within a bakery showcase!

Thanks to its proprietary nature of being a balanced spectrum light, Promolux lamps are best able to showcase the items in bakery displays while revealing the true bounty of rich, natural and vibrant colors within each item. Furthermore, the low radiation characteristics of Promolux lamps helps protect the freshness, appearance and integrity of those fragile bakery food items.

For bakery shops, the advantage of using Promolux lamps is 86% lower UV B radiation and 52% lower UV A radiation in comparison to other common fluorescent lighting. Promolux is both safe and ideal to use in bakery showcases where delicate items like chocolates, cakes and pastries are in close proximity to light sources.

For the independent bakery owners, the daily and annual savings of extending the shelf life of bakery items by up to 50% and reducing overall shrinkage by 30% to 50% is huge. And that is what Promolux does, it helps boutique and specialty shops distinguish themselves and their offerings while helping them to remain competitive.

When illuminated under Promolux bakery items always look and taste their best!

Promolux Lamp Color Options

Promolux lamps are available in two spectrum/color formulas: Promolux Platinum Lights & Promolux Gold Lights

• Promolux Gold lamps emit a warm tone perfect for giving breads, muffins, and donuts a just-baked appearance,

• Promolux Platinum lamps emit a cooler tone which is ideal for accenting colorful cakes and treats that are rich and bold in colors.

When it comes to fresh bakery merchandising and protection there is simply no other lamp that can compare to Promolux.

Dehydration of Donuts, Muffins & Pastries in Bakery Cabinets

When bakery display cases are installed with “regular” fluorescent or LED lighting bakery stores find themselves having to deal with the adverse effects of their bakery items spoiling much faster while on display. One of the most common problems is dehydration from the heat and UV radiation emitted by these lights. The loss of moisture is detrimental to the shelf life of many pastries, cakes and tarts. Without their natural moisture, they quickly become stale and lose their fresh appeal.

Fresh fruit on tarts and pies are also quite sensitive to the effects of light and heat radiation. Under ordinary lights they soon dry out and fade. By using Promolux bakery case lighting, bakeries and patisseries are discovering longer shelf life and more radiant, fresh looking products to wet the appetite of their customers!

Spoilage of Pastry Creams in Commercial Display Cases

Fact: Light and heat accelerate the rate of lipid oxidation, a chemical reaction between oxygen and unsaturated fatty acids that affects the smell, taste, and appearance of any food containing fats such as shortening, vegetable oil, or the milkfat in whipped cream and cream cheese.

The higher the fat content, the more vulnerable the pastry, donut or cream cheese roll is to the off-flavor effects of lipid oxidation. Nutritionally, lipid oxidation destroys riboflavin, pyridoxine, and vitamins A, D, B12, and C, while the free radicals that are released during oxidation are thought to cause cancer.

Oxidized bakery items taste rancid, stale, metallic or even cardboard-like. Pastries, donuts, cakes and muffins containing dairy products are also susceptible to another chemical reactions triggered by light. Whey proteins degenerate and produce a burnt flavor. These chemical reactions can occur after just four hours of exposure to fluorescent lighting.

Since Promolux lamps are engineered specifically for fresh food displays they provide a greater level of protection than regular bakery display case light bulbs. For bakery shops this means that their delicate bakery goods stay fresher for longer while waiting for the next customer to select it to take home to share with their friends and family!

Decorated Cakes in Bakeries and Cake Shops

Decorated cakes in supermarket bakery merchandisers are sensitive to the damaging effects of retail display lighting. Promolux fluorescent lamps and LEDs emit minimal levels of the damaging visible spectrum and ultraviolet radiation, and thus can increase bakery shelf life by up to 50%.

Color Distortion of Decorated Cakes in Merchandisers

Bakery merchandiser lighting can distort the true colors of decorative cake displays, making cake icing and fruit toppings appear unappetizing. The fluorescent lamps and LEDs often used in supermarket in-store bakeries are skewed to emphasize yellow and green, and do not display white or red colors accurately.

Celebration cake displays featuring colorful cake decorations and cakes topped with whipped cream and fresh fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, and kiwis need to be illuminated with bakery display case lighting that will reveal the natural colors of these desserts.

Promolux bakery display case lighting is balanced for true color definition, revealing the bright red of a strawberry without compromising the pure white of the surrounding whipped cream.

Fading of Icing in Refrigerated Grocery Bakery Cabinets

UV and visible spectrum radiation from regular bakery cabinet lighting triggers photochemical reactions that cause the bright colors of food dyes to fade. When combined with the effect most fluorescent lights have of emphasizing yellow and green and thus distorting the true colors of the decorative icing, bakery display case lighting can actually create a less than ideal display. Promolux balanced color spectrum lamps and LEDs, on the other hand, reveal the true colors of decorative icing, while emitting lower levels of the harmful radiation that causes colors to fade.

Degeneration of Fats in Refrigerated Bakery Showcases

Light and heat accelerate the rate of lipid oxidation, a chemical reaction between oxygen and an unsaturated fatty acid that affects the smell, taste, and appearance of any food containing fats such as shortening, vegetable oil, or the milk fat in whipped cream and cream cheese. The higher the fat content, the more vulnerable the decorated cake is to the off-flavor effects of lipid oxidation. Nutritionally, lipid oxidation destroys riboflavin, pyridoxine, and vitamins A, D, B12, and C, while the free radicals that are released during oxidation are thought to cause cancer. Oxidized creams taste rancid, stale, metallic, or cardboardy.

Decorative icing containing dairy products is also susceptible to another chemical reaction triggered by light that causes whey proteins to degenerate and produces a burnt feathers or burnt hair flavor. These chemical reactions can occur after just four minutes of exposure to direct sunlight, or four hours of exposure to fluorescent lighting. Because Promolux Safe Spectrum lamps emit much lower levels of radiation than regular bakery display case light bulbs, they are less likely to precipitate lipid oxidation in decorative icings and cakes containing dairy products.

Food Borne Pathogens in Refrigerated Bakery Merchandisers

Even if cakes are refrigerated, the UV and visible spectrum radiation emitted by most bakery display case lighting accelerates the growth of food borne pathogens, especially in decorative cakes containing eggs and dairy products. If the lighting source emits heat, as most bakery display case lamps do, desserts made with eggs are even more likely to spoil. Promolux lamps drastically reduce this risk and promote better food safety.

Promolux True Color Definition Lamps

Compared to other fluorescent lighting, Promolux lamps emit 86% lower UV B radiation and 52% lower UV A radiation plus they provide a more balanced spectrum of color for more truer and natural color representation.

Promolux lamps help prolong bakery shelf life by up to 50% and reduce the amount of spoiled bakery items by 30% to 50%. This is why Promolux lamps are strongly recommended for fresh food displays. The sales potential and daily savings that can be achieved in these cases far outweigh any other type of bulb on the market.

Choice of Lamp Color Temperature

Promolux lamps are available in two spectrum ranges: Promolux Gold lamps emit a warm tone perfect for giving breads, muffins, pastries and donuts a just-baked golden appearance; while Promolux Platinum lamps emit a cooler tone which is ideal for accenting vibrant colors common to cakes and fruit tarts.
