Can LED shelf light cause a fire in summer?

LED lighting is becoming increasingly popular, not only at home but also in supermarkets and retail businesses. As summer approaches, temperatures will climb, as will the ambient temperatures in which LEDs are employed. Supermarkets and retail stores will be open for up to 12 hours, which means LED lights will be on for an extended period. Working long hours is bound to generate more heat, and some of the packaging on the shelves is flammable, so many retailers are concerned about the summer heat, LED lights on shelves, and the risk of fire if they work long hours. So this article will explore where the shelf light can cause fire in summer.

LED lighting is becoming increasingly popular, not only at home but also in supermarkets and retail businesses. As summer approaches, temperatures will climb, as will the ambient temperatures in which LEDs are employed. Supermarkets and retail stores will be open for up to 12 hours, which means LED lights will be on for an extended period. Working long hours is bound to generate more heat, and some of the packaging on the shelves is flammable, so many retailers are concerned about the summer heat, LED lights on shelves, and the risk of fire if they work long hours.

Can LED shelf light cause a fire?

Part1. whether the LED shelf light can curse fire in summer?

First, we need to understand how LED lights function. LED (light-emitting diode) lighting technology uses semiconductor devices to emit light, unlike typical incandescent lamps or fluorescent bulbs. LEDs do not heat materials to produce light. As a result, LEDs emit relatively little heat, which is insufficient to spontaneously combust or ignite other things, making them less likely to overheat and cause a fire.

Part2. Here are some possible ramifications for LED extended hours.

Although LED lights will not burn out over time, you should be aware of the following concerns.

1. Overheating impairs performance. LED lights can generate excessive heat over long periods of operation, especially if the heat dissipation design is inadequate or the working ambient temperature is high, resulting in LED lamp performance degradation or failure. Overheating also reduces the lifespan of LED lights.

2.Light deterioration. Long-term use of LED lights may cause light degradation, which is a gradual loss in light output. Although the life of an LED bulb is typically assessed in terms of L70 (the amount of time it takes for LED light output to decrease to 70% of its initial rating at specified brightness), prolonged use can still result in light loss.

3.Electrical failure: Prolonged usage of LED lights increases the risk of electrical component damage, such as drive circuits. An electrical failure can cause a lamp to fail or cause serious electrical issues.

4.Light color stability: LED lights might produce color shifts in the workplace over time. Although current LED bulbs typically have good light color constancy, long-term use can nevertheless produce color temperature fluctuations.

Part 3. Safety Tips for Using Shelf Light

1.Choose an acceptable installation place. The shelf lamp should be positioned so that light reaches the product’s surface, reducing light waste.

2.Energy savings and environmental preservation. Because shelf lamps have a long working life, they must be chosen with low voltage and low power consumption in mind.

3.Good lighting design. Shelf lamps should consider the type, density, and height of the goods on the shelf to provide appropriate bright and uniform lighting.

4.Regular inspection and maintenance: Check shelf lighting for damage, loose electrical connections, overheating, and quick replacement of damaged parts.

Part 4. If You Are Looking for Safe shelf LED Lights

If you want a safe and dependable shelf light, search for something more advanced than Laidishine’s SNK line.

The SNK series was designed to provide stores with both reliable lighting and safe lighting. It can be directly connected to a 220V high voltage via the driver link, and the output is a 24V constant current low voltage with low heat generation, allowing it to use less electricity. At the same time, Laidishine designed a plastic stand to make installation simple.

  • The light body uses PC material to lessen the fire danger.
  • Built-in constant current chip to assure the unity of light.
  • Can achieve multi-stage series, series can be up to 8 meters, since the existence of constant
    current chip, from the first to the eighth with the light effect is the same.
  • A small, flat design, fitted in the shelf label, will not be available to find and is more beautiful.
  • 5.24 v DC low voltage, better power conservation, and lower the cost of late operation
  • Plastic bracket with two installation methods: screw or magnet, making installation straightforward.

Conclusion

LED shelf lights have been proven to not catch fire in high-temperature environments, making them a safer and more energy-efficient bulb alternative. More importantly, LED lights not only illuminate the product’s surface but also shine a bright light on your sales performance.

Cold Storage Lighting Solutions

Cold Storage is not just cold, but also quite wet. This creates a huge demand for lighting equipment. Traditional explosion-proof lamps, energy-saving lamps, and incandescent lamps, when exposed to high temperatures and enormous amounts of heat for an extended period of time, can damage food, making them unsuitable for use in food refrigerators. This study provides a detailed analysis of cold storage, including why specific cold storage lamps and lamp guides are used.
