Revitalize Your Fresh Food Displays with Cutting-Edge LED Strip Lighting Solutions

The color of fresh meat or confections in your display case can significantly influence customers’ purchasing decisions. This first impression is crucial, as the pigment myoglobin, responsible for the color of meat, undergoes chemical reactions triggered by light, heat, and oxygen. Ensuring your lighting optimally showcases these colors can help attract more customers. Hence the importance of choosing the right bakery lighting or meat display lighting.

Advantages Of Using LED Strip Lighting In Food Displays

LEDs have a number of advantages versus other forms of lighting including incandescent, fluorescent etc.

• Directional emission – naturally focuses light precisely where needed, eliminating the need for external reflectors.

• Compact design – achieves space-efficient, slim profiles ideal for modern applications.

• Impact-resistant construction – contains neither fragile glass components nor delicate filaments.

• Cold-friendly operation – excels in low temperatures as cooler diode conditions enhance performance.

• Energy efficiency – converts power to light with minimal waste, reducing energy consumption.

• Instant illumination – reaches full brightness immediately with zero warm-up delay.

• Switch-friendly durability – maintains lifespan integrity even with frequent power cycling.

Customizable features:

• Adaptive controls, it enables seamless brightness adjustment and color tuning

• Flexible integration, it works perfectly with configurable LED strip lighting systems

Non-irradiating safety:

• Zero UV/IR output – emits no ultraviolet or infrared radiation

• Eco-compliant – mercury-free and fully RoHS directive compliant

Versatile power options:

• Low-voltage compatibility – easily adapts to safe 12V/24V DC power systems

• Extended lifespan – when properly designed with effective thermal management, LED fixtures can last over 50,000 hours of continuous operation.

What Color LED Strip Light Makes Food Look Better?

Lighting plays a crucial role in highlighting the natural appeal of fresh foods, enhancing their visual appeal and making them more attractive to consumers. Different types of food require specific lighting temperatures and color compositions to present them in the best possible way. From meat and fish to dairy, bread, and vegetables, each food category benefits from tailored lighting solutions to bring out its true colors and textures.

Meat

For the tasty highlighting of red meat, a warm white light color (2700 to 3000K) is an absolute must. Because the warm white light color contains more red light, the meat reflects the red color, which further expresses the red color of the meat. Tournedos, sirloin steaks, steaks, minced meat… All products that benefit from lighting with sufficient warm (red) light. The Fresh-Food LED strip has been developed especially for meat and meat products, which is an adjustable combination of LED strip in which 2500K, 6000K and red LEDs are brought together to optimally present food such as meat and meat products.

Fish

For attractive lighting of fish, a distinction must be made between red and white fish. Red fish such as tuna, prawns and lobster, like red meat, benefit from warm lighting with a lot of red in the color composition. White fish, on the other hand, has the best appearance when illuminated with a natural white color (4000-4500K) and high CRI value. The CRI(Ra)≥90 and CRI(Ra)≥95 LED strips guarantee a beautiful and correct color reproduction without deviating (green) glow.

Dairy, bread and pastries

Dairy products such as cheese and eggs benefit from a light colour that clearly expresses the yellow of the cheese, for example. A warm light color (2700-3000K) is therefore the best choice. A warm light colour is also preferred for bread and pastries. The warm light gives a tasty and crispy appearance to bread, a high CRI value ensures that justice is done to the colors of pastries, biscuits, chocolate and sweets.

Fruit and vegetables

Vegetables Fruit and vegetables are preferably illuminated with CRI(Ra)≥90 and CRI(Ra)≥95 lighting with a color temperature of 3000K. This slightly warm colour temperature brings out the beautiful colours of most fruit and vegetables.

In addition, the study also shows that, beef stored under LED lights stays red longer.

Research has proved how keeping ground beef under meat display case LED lights as opposed to incandescent bulbs can slow down the redness-discoloration (oxidation) process in hamburger meat. The researchers have found that ground beef stored under no light retained its red color the longest. However, this is not an option when selling meat, because consumers have to see the meat they buy.

They examined the color of ground beef patties that were both five and 25 percent fat at one, three, five, and seven-day intervals. The team also tested the patties for concentrations of lipid oxidation and myoglobin. Lipid oxidation is a primary cause of quality deterioration that can lead to rancidity or off flavor in fatty or raw tissues. Myoglobin is the protein responsible for the meat’s color. The meat display cases were kept at temperatures near two degrees Celsius (35.6 Fahrenheit) during the experiment.

The more discoloration occurred, the longer the samples were stored in the display cases. By the fifth day, the more red color of the LED-lit patties was noticeable compared to those under fluorescent lights. The patties under LEDs also had had less oxidation of color and fat, giving them extra display shelf life.

By combining energy efficiency, precise illumination, and vibrant color rendering, these solutions enhance product appeal while reducing operational costs. Their durable, cold-friendly design ensures reliable performance in refrigerated environments, and their mercury-free construction aligns with sustainability goals.
