Cold storage LED special lamp was born due to the cold chain industry

Accompanied by the rapid development of the cold chain industry, peripheral products around the cold storage market are constantly being introduced. Ordinary lighting is difficult to use normally in a cold and humid environment of cold storage. Therefore, a dedicated LED light for cold storage has emerged.

This emerging cold storage lamp has low energy consumption, high brightness, long life, and no maintenance. However, the use of incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps, explosion-proof lamps, etc. instead of cold storage dedicated LED lamps is still common due to the use of misunderstandings and consideration of price factors. As everyone knows, in addition to increasing energy consumption, this practice may also cause harm to food safety.

Present incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps, explosion-proof lamps, etc. used for cold storage lighting

In the cold and humid environment of the cold storage, many conventional products cannot be used normally. Ordinary lighting is prone to explosion or damage in some ultra-low temperature freezing and quick-freezing environments. Before the advent of cold storage special LED lights, cold storage lighting uses common incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps plus a moisture-proof lampshade, or use explosion-proof lamps instead.

With the development of the cold chain industry, peripheral products around the cold storage are also constantly improving. Special cold storage LED lamps have emerged. This emerging cold storage lamp has low energy consumption, high brightness, long life, and no maintenance.

However, the use of LED lights for cold storage is not high. According to Li Zhengliang, deputy general manager of Zhengzhou Henry Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd. and Zhao Xiuguo, sales manager of Beijing Jing Kelun Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd., among the users he contacts, there are not many special LED lights for cold storage, and incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps, and explosion-proof lamps are used. The use of lamps instead of cold storage lamps is very common.

This situation was also confirmed by Li Shijie, the domestic trade manager of Shenzhen Ou'en Semiconductor Lighting Co., Ltd., “Many users are still using traditional incandescent lamps and energy-saving light sources.”

“The cold storage special LED lights have only appeared in recent years. There is no popular user to use incandescent lamps or energy-saving lamps and a moisture-proof lamp shade in the high-temperature library.” said Xie Xiaoru, salesperson of Zhengzhou Jiahe Lighting Technology Co., Ltd., but this The frequency of damage in the cold storage below -18°C is quite high, even worse than a few days. There are also some large cold storages with storage heights of more than ten meters. Incandescent lamps and energy-saving lamps are also not suitable. Because the brightness is not enough, most users will Use explosion-proof lights.

Analysis of non-standard use of energy-consuming, easy to produce security risks

Before the advent of cold storage special LED lights, cold storage generally use ordinary incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps plus a moisture-proof lamp cover, ultra-low temperature cold storage explosion-proof lights, is not it does not affect the use?

Li Shijie introduced incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, energy-saving lamps and other products in the cold storage environment, a large amount of heat, cooling the air compressor will increase power, it is easy to fry and damage, short life, frequent replacement, ordinary lamps can not replace the special cold storage Lamps.

"Explosion-proof lights will not explode, but the power is very high, such as explosion-proof lights, energy-saving lamps, incandescent lamps and other high temperature light sources are not suitable for use in food cold storage, too much heat, prolonged exposure to food may Corrosion of food.” Xie Xiaoru said, and the cold storage will be frosted or frozen, the power may have a lot of frost or ice resulting in short circuit, causing food safety problems.

That being the case, why do so many users have not applied the special LED lights for cold storage, and what are their resistances to the promotion?

"Price is the main factor." Xie Xiaoru calculated such an account, a 40-watt incandescent lamp only needs 1 dollar, with a moisture-proof lampshade is also 30 to 40 dollars; a set of 6-watt LED cold storage lamp is 120 Money (LED6 watts higher than incandescent 40 watts brightness).

In addition to the price factor, the user's awareness of cold storage lamps is also limited, as long as the efficacy of lighting can be achieved without considering more factors.

Views special LED lights for cold storage is a general trend, need to strengthen the promotion

Cold storage light is a new kind of cold storage light source that represents the future development direction of high light efficiency, longevity and high color rendering of cold storage lighting technology. So, what are its characteristics and what is the future direction of development?

Xia Xingwei, general manager of Zhengzhou Jiahe Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. introduced: “The light source is often divided into a heat source and a cold source from the principle of light emission. Current incandescent lamps, metal halide lamps, and energy-saving lamps are basically heat sources, and the main energy consumption is heat. , not light; LED light source is different, the luminous efficiency is very high, and the more light the environment, the better the light characteristics."

Xie Xiaoru added, “High luminous efficiency, good adaptability to low-temperature environment, long service life, and completely solved the strobe light problem of ordinary traditional light sources. Therefore, in terms of big trends, LEDs have replaced traditional light sources. It is overwhelming."

"The LED lamps designed for cold storage can be started instantaneously in an environment below -40°C, unlike the energy-saving lamps, which require preheating, saving energy, and eliminating the need for manual maintenance. At present, our research and development and markets for special lamps for cold storage have been further refined. There are professional lamps for various specifications of cold storage, different power sizes, and installation methods.” Li Shijie said that LED is a typical environment-friendly, healthy, cold storage lighting source with unlimited application prospects, which is currently the preferred alternative to traditional light sources. The general trend.

“The cold storage lamps will develop in the direction of more low-temperature-resistant, high-power integrated and intelligent control, such as meeting the needs of low-temperature and ultra-low-temperature libraries, reducing costs, and facilitating installation and maintenance.” Xia Xingwei also said that the company will strengthen its efforts in the field of food processing. The promotion and publicity will bring more convenience to users; at the same time, it also hopes that related departments and associations and other institutions can play a positive role in guiding the market.
