What are LED Lighting Supply Walk In Cooler Lights?

LED Lighting Supply cooler LED Lights are designed to work in cold temperatures. Our LED freezer lights work extremely well in cold temperatures and the cold temperatures will even extend their life. You can choose between food-grade NSF fixtures or vapor-tight / canopy fixtures that are ceiling mounted. And unlike fluorescent tubes that take a long time to 'warm up' in the cold, LED lights are instant on and instant off.

We offer some vapor-proof fixtures rated for cold temperatures of -22F and -40F. We also have NSF fixtures rated to -40F. But, in general, LEDs love the cold and their life is extended working in cold temperatures.

Walk-in Cooler LED Lights FAQs

Do You Need NSF Fixtures Inside Commercial Refrigeration Units?

You do if food preparation work is being done inside the cooler area. Your local health department will be able to tell you if areas in your facility need NSF fixtures.

There is no best fixture for walk-in coolers as every fixture is different and has specific uses. Let us know what your requirements are, and we will offer you several options that might work best for you.

How Many Lights Are Needed for a Walk-in Cooler?

Walk-in cooler lighting requirements depend on the purpose of the cooler. Coolers used as storage areas need a lot less light than coolers that are used for work processes, but light sources shouldn’t have an efficacy of fewer than 40 lumens per watt or should turn off within 15 minutes of last use.

In general, 50-foot candles should be the target for food preparation areas. 20-foot candles for support rooms (wash areas) and 10-foot candles for storage areas.

What is the Best Color Temperature for Walk-in Cooler Low Temperature Lighting?

We recommend either 4000K or 5000K. 5000K is the most popular option for walk-in coolers. We also offer color-adjustable lighting so you can decide after you purchase. These lights have an onboard toggle switch so you can choose the best color temperature that works best inside your facility.

Is Wet Location Lighting Required for a Walk-in Cooler?

Yes, we would recommend this, since coolers also tend to be damp and subject to wash downs. All our NSF Walk-In LED Cooler Lights including vapor proof, low bay, and high bay fixtures are IP65+ rated.

Do Vapor Tight Walk-in Cooler Lights Protect Against Water Vapors?

Water vapors are not particularly harmful. So if that is what you are protecting against, then look for an IP-rated fixture. A lot of lights in cooler and refrigerated areas are exposed to harmful vapors that could shorten the life of the fixture.
