What is LED Lighting Supply Brewery Lighting?

There are many different lights you can use in a brewery. There are several types of lighting products available for breweries, including high bays, wall packs, waterproof fixtures, and vapor-tight LED fixtures. If you need food-grade lighting, we offer NSF-certified LED Lights. If you don't, we offer a wide variety of LED high bays that will provide bright powerful lighting in the area, illuminating large spaces and creating the desired setting for both production and customer-facing areas. The right lighting should be chosen based on the specific needs of each space within the brewery.

Inside the brewery, if glare is an issue, use domes to shield the lights. We do sell acrylic domes that fit on some of our UFO high bay fixtures; the fixture design helps reduce side glare. We also offer parking lot lighting and wall pack lights for the exterior.

What are the Benefits of Using LED Lighting Supply Fixtures in a Brewery?

• High Quality Lighting: We offer high-quality, bright LED technology lighting solutions. LED lighting is now the standard in brewery and restaurant lighting due to its reliability and performance.
• Energy Efficiency: Our LED fixtures should create energy savings and reduce energy costs by 50% or more over traditional lighting options. LED fixtures are effective in reducing both energy costs and heat output, which helps with temperature control and improves operational efficiency.
• Wet Locations: LED Lighting Supply has wet location (IP-rated) fixtures, as well as NSF-rated fixtures, for indoor wet locations that are typical in the brewing process. Using the right fixtures ensures worker safety and operational efficiency by providing high-quality lights that withstand moisture, condensation, and harsh brewery conditions.
• Maintenance: Our LED Lights will lower lighting maintenance costs with no bulbs and ballasts to change. The fixtures are designed to withstand the demanding environment of a brewery, ensuring long-term operation and confidence in product quality.
• Flexibility: We offer wattage-adjustable and color-adjustable options so you can adjust the light for your needs. The selection of color temperature and fixture type can improve the appearance of beer and the overall ambiance for customers.
• No UV: They do not produce UV light. It only produces natural light, helping to protect your product and maintain beer quality.
• Less Heat: Opting for LED over halogen or other traditional lighting options is important for maintaining temperature control and product quality, as LEDs emit less heat.
• Tips for the Perfect Lighting Setup: Consider the right color temperature (for example, 4000K-5000K for natural daylight) to ensure accurate color rendering and avoid dark or misleading illumination. Remember to select fixtures that are moisture-resistant and suitable for the space to ensure safety and the perfect brewing environment.

What are Ideal Light Levels for a Brewery?

• Brewing Areas: 30 to 50 fc
• Packaging Areas: 50 to 100 fc
• Storage/Cellar Areas: 10 to 30 fc
• Tasting Room/Bar Areas: 20 to 40 fc
• Walkways/General Areas: 5 to 20 fc

Why is Color Temperature Important in a Brewery Environment?

Choosing the right color temperature is essential for accurate color assessment of beer during each batch. For example, a color temperature range of 4000K to 5000K provides ideal illumination in brewery environments, helping to avoid dark areas and ensuring staff can accurately judge the colors of beer and other products. Proper lighting supports quality control and enhances the overall appearance of each batch.

LED Brewery Lighting FAQs

Do Breweries Need NSF Light Fixtures?

It all depends on your local health departments and the rules they have in place. Drinks made in a brewery are consumable, so certainly, it would not hurt to use NSF-certified fixtures.

Are there Special Requirements for Distillery Lights?

There are no special requirements. Your local health department might require that some of your lights be NSF-certified, and waterproof so you can wash them down. Many of our NSF-certified fixtures are IP69K rated.

What Lights are Best for a Room with a Still and Alcohol Vapors?

If there are alcohol vapors present, then you should use explosion-proof lighting. Choose Class 1 Division 1 lighting if vapors are always present. Or a Class 1 Division 2 light if vapors are sometimes present. The best way to answer this is to check with your local health department and the rules they have in place.

What are the Best Lights for Above the Fermenter Tanks?

We would recommend using UFO high bays or NSF fixtures. We would also recommend a 5000K color temperature.
