LED illumination for freezer/refrigerated display cases

For Immediate Release

Think Automation and beyond …

As LED technology evolves at an incredible rate new applications are being explored, and with people becoming more energy-saving conscious from the viewpoint of the global environment protection IDEC introduce an LED module specifically designed for the freezer and refrigeration showcase.

Next time you are in your local supermarket picking up some frozen chips or ice-cream for the children take a look inside the door… what you will see today is a fluorescent tube, this tube lights the freezer cabinet well, but (there’s always a but) this tube also gives off heat which is unwanted and lost energy, especially inside a freezer!

In the trend towards LED illumination, with its excellent features such as energy-saving, long-life and low-heat generation the IDEC LF1E offers a more focused viable and alternative solution. In addition to the product efficiencies mentioned before there is another amazing feature, by employing specially designed optical simulation technology three types of light distribution can be achieved, maximizing the LED light efficiency.

Product Features:

  • Brighter and Energy Saving
    1. Condensing lens provides the illuminance 2000 lx at 0.3m directly below the unit
    2. Power consumption reduced by 58% compared with fluorescent tubes, saving large amount of energy
  • Long Service Life and Ease of Maintenance
    1. 40,000 hours (approx.) long service life. 3.3 times (approx.) longer than fluorescent tubes
    2. 40,000 hours of maintenance-free service life reduce the running cost   
      greatly
  • Three Types of Light Distribution
    1.  Optical lens optimally designed can make the wide-angle light
      distribution, condensing light distribution, and dual light distribution 
      possible.
    2.  A variety of LED illumination units are available such as Glass Front
      Display Cases, Open Front Display Cases, and Reach-in Display 
      Cases, offering the suitable types for different display cases.
    3.  By providing the proper amount of light to the target object, greater
      energy savings can be achieved while maintaining the brightness.
  • Low Heat Generation Reduces the Heat Influence to the Products on Display Cases.
    1.  Minimize the influence to the food or heat-sensitive products since the 
      light hardly contains the heat.
    2.  LF1E units are low-heated by lower power consumption, achieving the
      temperature rise of only 15 degree C (approx.), less than that of 
      fluorescent lights.
  • Rich Control Functions (ex. Dimming control)
    1. Special power supply type is dimmable between 0 (approx.) to 100%.
      (power supply PH2C-030-PK660 necessary)
    2. Special power supply type achieves desired visual and spatial effects by various automatic controls such as dimming, calendar/time management
      or others.
