With the rapid development of the cold chain industry, supporting products around cold storage are also constantly being introduced. Ordinary lighting lamps are difficult to operate normally in cold and humid environments in cold storage, so LED dedicated lamps for cold storage emerged as the times require.
Advantages and disadvantages of LED dedicated lights for cold storage: Low energy consumption, high brightness, long life, no maintenance required, and completely solves the stroboscopic problem of ordinary traditional light sources. Why are so many users not using dedicated LED lights for cold storage? Price is the main factor. A 40 watt incandescent lamp costs only 1 yuan, and a moisture-proof lamp cover costs 30 to 40 yuan; A set of 6-watt LED cold storage lamps costs 120 yuan (LED 6-watt lamps have a higher brightness than incandescent lamps with 40 watts). In addition to price factors, users also have limited awareness of cold storage lamps, believing that as long as the lighting efficiency is achieved, no more factors are considered. Cold storage lamp is a lamp named after its purpose. It is mainly used in cold storage, cold storage, freezers, and other places where the ambient temperature is relatively low and relatively humid, and it is necessary to consider the safety and environmental protection of electricity use.
With the development of the cold chain in recent years, cold storage is widely used for preserving and storing food. Special lighting fixtures for cold storage have also become increasingly specialized.
The lighting lamps in cold storage mostly use incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps, and explosion-proof lamps. In cold storage environments with low temperatures and humidity, many conventional products cannot be used properly. Ordinary lighting lamps are prone to explosion or damage in some ultra-low temperature and quick-frozen storage environments. Before the emergence of dedicated LED lights for cold storage, ordinary incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps with a moisture-proof lamp cover, or explosion-proof lamps were often used for lighting in cold storage. Use ordinary incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps, and a moistureproof lamp shade. This configuration can cause damage to refrigerators below - 18 ℃ with a relatively high frequency, even one in a few days. There are also some large refrigerators with a height of more than ten meters, but using incandescent lamps and energy-saving lamps is not feasible. Because of insufficient brightness, most users choose explosion-proof lamps.
Incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, energy-saving lamps, and other products generate large amounts of heat in cold storage environments, which can increase the power of the air compressor refrigeration, easily cause bubbles and damage, have a short service life, and are frequently replaced. Ordinary lamps cannot replace special lamps for cold storage. Explosion-proof lamps do not explode, but their power is very high. High temperature light sources such as explosion-proof lamps, energy-saving lamps, and incandescent lamps are not suitable for use in food refrigerators. Too much heat can cause food corrosion when exposed to food for a long time. In addition, there may be frost or ice in the refrigerator, and a large amount of frost or ice on the power supply may cause short circuits, causing potential food safety hazards. Trend Cold storage lamps will develop towards a more low-temperature resistant, high-power integrated, and intelligent control direction in the future, such as meeting the needs of low-temperature and ultra-low-temperature cold storage, reducing costs, and facilitating installation and maintenance.
High luminous efficiency, good adaptability to low-temperature environments, and ultra-long service life, while thoroughly solving the stroboscopic problem of ordinary traditional light sources. Therefore, from the perspective of the general trend, LED replacing traditional light sources is already unstoppable. LED cold storage dedicated lights can be instantly activated in environments below - 40 ℃, unlike energy-saving lights that require preheating, saving energy, and requiring no manual maintenance. The special lamps for cold storage are more detailed, with professional lamps of various specifications, power sizes, and installation methods for cold storage. LED is a typical environmental protection, health, cold storage light source product, with unlimited application prospects. It is currently the first choice to replace traditional light sources, and it is also the trend of the times.
