When you, as a shopper, enter a supermarket, what first catches your eye? The array of products. Under the illumination of lights, items of different colors emit distinct hues. Vibrant fruits, emerald-green vegetables, and glossy prepared foods can all draw your gaze. A significant reason for their appeal lies in the enhancement provided by lighting.
However, few people realize that a refrigerator is actually a perpetual motion machine that operates 24/7. It not only needs to provide cooling for goods during the day when customers visit, but also needs to maintain the temperature at night after closing to keep food fresh and prevent spoilage. The amount of electricity consumed by the refrigerator during this period is obvious. Furthermore, the refrigerator light, as one of its accessories, emits a certain amount of heat at night after working for a long time during the day. Therefore, the operation of the refrigerator is necessary to keep the temperature within a certain range to prevent the shelf life of the food.
Imagine replacing an old desk lamp at home with an LED bulb and seeing your electricity bill drop noticeably. The same principle applies, but on a scale hundreds of times larger in the commercial world.
A medium-sized supermarket’s refrigeration section often contains hundreds of light tubes, constantly lit. Traditional fluorescent tubes act like small heaters, generating significant heat while producing light. This means the compressor must consume extra energy to counteract the heat produced by the lights themselves, just to maintain the low temperature. Essentially, you pay twice: once for the lighting, and again to cool the heat from those very lights. Furthermore, excess heat inside the case can compromise product preservation, potentially accelerating ice cream melt or affecting dairy quality.
Therefore, to save energy, Laidishine utilizes high-efficiency LED chips and incorporates built-in aluminum housing in our products for superior heat dissipation. Most of our products feature external drivers, reducing the efficiency loss caused by driver heat, affecting the LED performance.
One of our convenience store clients was pleasantly surprised to find their monthly electricity bill for the refrigeration area decreased by nearly 40% after switching to our LED case lights. This saving isn’t just a cold percentage; it translates directly into tangible cost savings that boost the bottom line. This light, often unnoticed, quietly saves tens of thousands in operational costs.
Why Do Products Look More Appealing Under Laidishine Lighting?
Why does meat under Laidishine lights appear more richly red and juicier? Why does ice cream look exceptionally creamy? This isn’t magic; it’s a blend of science and art.
We use high Color Rendering Index (CRI >90) LEDs, much like a professional photographer’s fill light, to maximize the authenticity of the food’s natural colors. Red-enhancing light in the meat section prevents a pale look, warm white light (4000K) in the deli area stimulates appetite, and light in the produce section highlights natural freshness. This directly triggers customers’ purchasing desires.
Beyond high CRI, Laidishine employs optical lens design to eliminate dark areas, shadows, and uneven lighting inside cases. Have you noticed some cases where the top shelves are glaringly bright while the bottom is hidden in shadow? Or products appearing inconsistently colored due to poor light spread, creating misleading impressions? Laidishine’s asymmetric light distribution technology acts like a tailored “spotlight” for the case, ensuring even, soft light washes over every single product from top to bottom. Items once hidden in shadows finally get their chance to be seen and chosen. A better lighting environment can subtly increase sales by 1%-3%. When your products look vibrant under the light, they essentially “speak” to the customers on your behalf.
For store managers or maintenance staff, frequent equipment failures are a major headache. Imagine a case light failing during peak hours – it disrupts sales, and repairs are time-consuming, requiring emptying the case, powering down, fetching a ladder, and worrying about disrupting shoppers.
Our luminaires undergo rigorous testing to withstand the constant low temperatures and condensation inside refrigerators. Under specific test conditions (@ 10℃), our lights are predicted to maintain over 80% of their initial light output (L80) after 50,000 hours, with fewer than 10% failing (B10). This means once installed, you can almost forget about them for years to come.
We offer various installation options like magnetic fixation, snap-on clips, and more. Replacing an old light often takes just a “snap and click,” requiring no complex tools or rewiring. A case can be brilliantly relit in minutes, minimizing business disruption.
For us, reliability isn’t just a slogan; it’s our commitment, allowing you to focus on your core business without distraction.
Traditional tubes, if compromised by moisture ingress, can pose safety risks. Our products offer excellent ingress protection, with a standard rating of IP65 (and specific models designed to effectively resist condensation), eliminating such risks at the source and providing extra peace of mind for you and your customers.
At Laidishine, we believe the best technology integrates seamlessly into the environment, creating value silently. Our LED case lights are not merely “lights.” They are an efficient energy-saving solution, an invisible sales assistant, a hassle-free, reliable partner, and a silent safety guardian.
They work every day, not for attention, but to help your business run smoothly. The next time you walk past brightly lit, appealing refrigerator cases, we hope you remember that this perfectly calibrated light represents a shrewd business choice. If you also want to upgrade your store lighting, please contact Laidishine’s professional team.
