Customised Special Colour Temperatures
By hqt
With the further development of solid state lighting, the demand for higher quality lighting has increased and many lighting areas have come up with individual spectral requirements, a good example of this is the lighting of fresh lights for food. Fresh lights have become spectrally diverse in order to meet the demand for illumination of raw food in a wide range of colours. With a low light level and a high colour temperature lamp, the human face can appear pale and lifeless, and this is also true for food. This is why fresh lighting is so important in the food lighting sector.
Lighting in fresh produce areas generally consists of three elements, namely illuminance, colour temperature and colour rendering index. Even with the same level of illumination, the colour temperature and colour rendering index vary from one area to another. The right spectrum of illumination can restore the colour of the item itself to a large extent and emphasise its value. However, the choice of spectrum tends to be diversified as there is both red fresh meat and green vegetables, as well as brilliant seafood and fruit in the fresh produce area, each of which has its own characteristics. Therefore, the lighting in the fresh produce area should be designed according to the different commodity categories.
Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables look both shiny and fresh, highlighting the quality of the product and therefore appealing to customers. Lighting in the area not only ensures the perfect presentation of the product, but also considers the effect of temperature on the shelf life of the product. It is not appropriate to use a lamp that emits too much heat to cause the water loss of the fresh fruit and the loss of freshness of the fruit, meanwhile To be equipped with high color rendering CRI> 90 cold light source without ultraviolet and infrared radiation, and use track lighting as the key illumination. Such as the color temperature of the fruit area to choose a warm 3000K is better, the vegetable area is to choose cold color 4000K or so. The average illuminance reaches 300 lux, the illuminance of the key area should reach above 500 lux.
Fresh Meat
Shoppers generally identify the quality of meat and fish based on appearance, so light can be used to increase the appeal. With a special color lighting system, it makes tempting beef, juicy lamb and freshly harvested fresh fish.
While meat and sausage reds are emphasized by special color lighting, fat-containing white is still visible; cool white or blue light with intense contrast is used to make seafood more fresh against shiny glittering ice. The lighting solution is equally effective for sushi and sashim.
Fresh meat is a special light designed to enhance the redness and thusthe freshness of meat products. It also accentuates the white of marbled meat, raising the contrast between red and white.
Frozen Meat
Frozen meat is difficult to showcase properly as ice crystals dull the redness of the meat, rendering it pale pink or blotchy. This is why frozen meat needs a special color. Special color for frozen meat that brings out the red and pink hues even if the meat is packed in protective transparent film. Thus, an impression of freshness is preserved, helping customers choose faster and feel better about about their purchase.

For baked goods and other baked goods, according to the overall environment appropriate to reduce the illumination. Highlighting its beauty in bright light tends to make it easier for customers to make purchasing decisions.
Aquaculture
In our consciousness, seafood areas are always accompanied by a noisy and fishy smell. Therefore fish lighting should not only be aesthetically pleasing, but also reduce the lighting temperature. Therefore the use of high colour rendering, cool white temperature lighting not only creates a fresh and hygienic environment, but also reminds people of the vast ocean and the broad sky, creating a sense of the source of seafood and allowing the freshness of the aquatic products to be shortened without the influence of lighting.
So supermarkets should configure the lighting of different commodities according to the different colours issued by the different colour temperatures of the light sources to achieve an attractive effect. So especially in the fresh area of the supermarket, configure the supermarket fresh lamps and lanterns with excellent lighting effect, and spray the five colours of red, green, yellow, orange and blue on the lamp shell according to the colour of the fresh lamp.
