Application of three-proof LED fluorescent tube in kitchen

   The so-called TRI-PROOF led fluorescent tube mainly refers to dustproof, waterproof and anti-corrosion. It has high requirements for the tube. The tightness of the LED tube shell must be strict. The shell must be sealed with a good airtightness. Therefore, plastic materials are generally used. Better, such as ABS+PC, ABS+PS, etc.

   On April 30, 2019, our Langte received a single three-proof LED tube used in the kitchen. Because the kitchen humidity is relatively high and the temperature is relatively high, the requirements for lighting are different from general use occasions, then we How did it do it

First look at the parameters

1. Shell: ABS+PC The purpose is to be durable. The two plastic materials, abs and pc, are more resistant to aging. Of course, if you feel that the price is cheaper, you can also use ABS+PS.

2.LED tube *2 is two, there are two ways to use, one is aluminum-plastic tube, the other is T8 to T5 led tube can meet the requirements, if you want to heat well, use T8 to T5 type, Using 6500k white light, the lighting is refreshing, suitable for the kitchen, using aluminum substrate for heat dissipation and 120 lamp beads, the luminous efficiency is as high as 120lm/w. Using a transparent lampshade, the luminous flux can also be increased

3. Emergency function, equipped with emergency power supply, the three-proof led tube shell is relatively large, so there is enough space to install the emergency power supply, and the inverter and the battery are installed to meet the emergency needs of up to 2 hours. The lithium battery is charged quickly. , The number of recharges increases, and the life is extended

After testing/proofing, it can fully meet customer requirements. In the installation, it is installed in the space on the top of the kitchen. It is a large kitchen. One kitchen is equipped with 2 sets of tri-proof lights, which has a relatively high illuminance. The double LED tubes used are used. Lighting, the illuminance is greater than that of ordinary fluorescent lamps, and the electricity bill has been reduced by more than half. Customers are more satisfied in use.

 

Knowledge points: kitchen lighting and temperature requirements


Lighting requirements

1. Illuminance

The entire kitchen is 100 foot candles, and the main work area is 200 foot candles.

2. Light distribution

When installing the lamp, care must be taken to avoid shadows, especially when the top cover of some equipment is lifted or the cabinet door is opened, it will not block the light. The color of the light should be natural and not distorted when looking at the object. The light should be stable and soft.

3. Prevent glare

The smooth surface of kitchen equipment often produces dazzling light under the light. The use of indirect lighting and diffuse lighting can effectively prevent glare.

4. Safe, easy to clean, easy to maintain

Most of the lighting in the kitchen needs to be equipped with protective covers, especially in the stove area, where the lamp or light bulb may burst due to instantaneous heat. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully inspect and repair the lighting frequently. When choosing lamps and lanterns should also consider the factors that facilitate cleaning and maintenance.

Temperature control

The temperature control of the kitchen is a factor that must be considered in the layout. The sultry environment will cause the kitchen staff's work endurance to decrease, fatigue and physical exertion, and also make the staff easy to get angry. Some hotel managers have paid attention to this and adopted corresponding measures. For example, if the central air conditioner is introduced into the kitchen (some small kitchens are equipped with air conditioners), the temperature of the kitchen is controlled, and the production efficiency of employees will naturally be greatly improved.

Reducing the kitchen temperature can also be done in the kitchen equipment and layout: one is to install exhaust fans or range hoods, exhaust fans, etc. in the kitchen. Exhaust the hot air and oil fume in the kitchen in time. The second is to separate the barbecue room, cooking room and stove room to disperse the volatilization of heat in the kitchen. However, the temperature in the kitchen is too low to be unfavorable, the hands and feet of the chef are numb, and the work speed drops. Therefore, the suitable temperature for the kitchen should be around 20°C.
