You may not know, but there is a right and wrong choice when
choosing lighting for grocery stores. Stores aim to display produce in the most
appealing way possible to help boost sales.
LED luminaires display food in the best light, which brings
out the bright colors and textures in produce.
Not only does the right lighting tempt customers to buy, but
it enhances the overall shopping experience by providing clear visibility
throughout.
As stated in our last article, LEDS reduce energy usage
which in turn slashes operating costs. LEDs can even help you reduce food waste
by increasing the shelf life of fresh produce!
MEAT DISCOLORATION
Lighting-induced discoloration for sliced meat presents zero
health problems, but it can put customers off from buying the product. And because
fresh food areas are the main reason a customer picks a specific super market,
discolored meat can decrease customer loyalty.
POTATO GREENING
Potatoes green naturally due to exposure of lighting through
the process of chlorophyll, but the discoloration can be off-putting to
shoppers. The discoloration makes the potatoes look less attractive and also
indicates an increased level of toxin in fresh produce. In an experiment by Philips Lighting, lower light levels
were more favorable, but only after a significant amount of dimming.
