Retail showcase lighting

Cold light means perfect conditions forin-case temperature and humidity control.No heat in the showcase means no heatto damage or to dry out precious displayitems. And no heat means no air circulation,which means no dust circulation. Thecabinet interior stays clean and the displaystays dust-free, which minimises the need toopen the case for cleaning.No infrared radiation and no ultravioletrays are emitted. Absence of UV rays ensuresthat precious and valuable items areprotected. Absence of IR radiation removesthe risk of heat exposure and reduces theneed for noisy, energy-consuming airconditioning.There is only one point of maintenance,and it is always outside the cabinet’s displayarea. The light generator is completelyhidden from view yet easily accessible. Ithas one single lamp, which means very littleand very easy maintenance. No specialexpertise is needed, so any member of staffcan easily change the lamp.’With the fibre optic solution,there was no heat, no in-casemaintenance and only one lightbulb. When you have hundreds ofthings perfectly arranged in adisplay case, you really don’twant to go mucking about in thecase again.’David GrillLighting DesignerDavid Grill AssociatesNew York, USA
