Cold Storage Lighting

In the cold storage lighting with low temperature and high humidity, there are strict requirements on the lights used. We can offer lighting solutions with superior low-temperature resistance, anti-condensation properties, and high energy efficiency.

LEDRHYTHM - Cold Storage Environment Low Temperature Testing

To verify the stability of our LED lighting in cold storage environments, we conducted low-temperature testing. In the test, the fixture were placed in a freezer at temperatures below -40°C. After being continuously lit for 48 hours, the freezer was opened and the fixture continued to operate stably, with no signs of light decay, flickering, or structural damage.

The test results fully demonstrate the long-term reliability of LEDRHYTHM LED lighting in various cold storage and other low-temperature environments. You can learn more about this tested product here.

Introduction to Cold Storage Lighting

Cold storage is a specialized storage environment that provides low-temperature protection for food, pharmaceuticals and other items. Unlike ordinary warehouse lighting, its interiors are characterized by low temperatures, high humidity, condensation and frequent frost. You can find more information about warehouse lighting applications.

As such, cold storage lighting is far more demanding than ordinary lighting. It places extremely stringent requirements on the lamps’ low-temperature resistance, waterproof and moisture-proof rating, corrosion resistance, and energy efficiency. Professional and reliable cold storage lighting is essential and crucial component of cold chain storage and logistics.

Cold Storage Lighting Challenges

Cold storage lighting presents numerous challenges, with extremely low temperatures and humidity undoubtedly being primary. These issues directly impact the stable and long-term operation of lighting fixtures:

  • Low Temperatures: Cold storage temperatures often range from -40°C to -20°C, making lamps prone to starting difficulties, flickering, and shortened lifespans.
  • Condensation: Condensation easily forms in low-temp, necessitating a high level of protection (IP65 or higher).
  • Light quality: Cold storage spaces are typically large and high, requiring even light distribution to avoid dark areas.
  • Costs: Cold storage operating costs are high, more energy-efficient lighting can save electricity, thereby reducing costs.

Due to the large spaces and high, densely packed shelves in cold storage, high-bay and vapor tight LED lights are undoubtedly the most suitable. Furthermore, these lamps must be designed for these specialized environments, including low temperatures, humidity, and food safety, to meet the requirements for fast startup, flicker-free operation, and long-term, stable operation.

For example, below is our professional cold storage LED lighting series, or view all high-bay lights.

Advantages of LEDRHYTHM LED Cold Storage Lighting

At LEDRHYTHM, we offer LED lighting specifically designed for cold storage. These products have passed our low-temperature testing and offer long-term stable operation even in cold storage environments as low as -40°C. Their housings are constructed of rugged die-cast aluminum or PC, effectively resisting condensation and corrosion. With IP65/IP66/IP69K ratings. So, even in low temperatures and high humidity, there’s no risk of accelerated light degradation, dimming, or even damage.

In addition, our fixtures offer a variety of mounting options tailored to the cold storage structure, providing added flexibility. Their high light efficiency and long lifespan help reduce operating and maintenance costs.

  • Supports ceiling, suspended, wall and bracket mounting options.
  • Luminous efficacy of 150-180 lm/W reduces overall cold storage energy consumption.
  • Lifespan exceeds 50,000 hours, unaffected by low temperatures.
