Changing the lighting in commercial fridges

Step 14 - Fridge Cabinet

Lights in commercial fridges don’t just use energy – they also generate heat. This heat has to be chilled so it increases the costs of your refrigeration.

There are three ways to reduce this cost:

  • If you have more than one light in the fridge, see how many you can remove and still see the food. The more lights you remove, the more money you’ll save.
  • Swap out heat-producing incandescent lighting and replace it with low heat-generating CFL or LED lights.
  • You can also attach a sensor to the lighting to check that it only comes on when the fridge door is opened.
