Because LED lights for display cases are normally placed very close to the objects that they are illuminating, they don’t need to be too bright. Because they don’t need a high wattage or lumen count, you can usually use a single watt LED bulb. A 1 watt LED light will produce 70 lumens of light, which is the equivalent of a typical 10 watt halogen bulb. This means an LED light gives you all of the power of a halogen bulb at a fraction of the heat and energy consumption.

  • LED display case light fixtures will need the same sort of general maintenance that other lights might need. In order to ensure your glass display cabinet lights work their best for as long as possible, keep these maintenance tips in mind.
  • Clean Them Regularly
  • Be sure that you inspect the your glass display cabinet lights on occasion and clear away any dust or debris. Using a damp cloth, wipe away any debris that might be blocking the light from shining fully from the lens.
  • Avoid High Temperatures
  • One way to avoid damage and prolong the life of your display case lights is to avoid heat. Fortunately, LED lights give off very little heat. Even so, having a vent at the back of the cabinet to allow excess heat to dissipate is a good idea.
  • Look for Damage

When cleaning your LED lights for display cases, check them for things that need your attention: faulty wiring, burned out bulbs or cracked housings.

Since glass display cabinet lighting requires electricity, you may run the risk of shock or electrocution if you try to install them yourself. It is best to get a qualified, professional electrician to install your display case lighting. This way, you can be sure they are not only properly installed, but safely installed as well.

Glass cabinet lights areย an easy way to highlight items for sale in a display case. It can bring out the details and the colour and shine of the merchandise, attracting the attention of customers to potentially increase sales. LED lights specifically have many benefits when it comes to retail display lighting โ€” from limited heat output to energy efficiency to versatility, they are a popular option in retail settings.

Having good quality lighting matters, especially when it comes to showcase lights. Cutting corners on the lighting may cost you in the future as you have to replace them more often. Instead, be sure you are buying a high quality glass cabinet lighting kit to avoid that issue altogether.

Paying a little extra upfront for high quality lighting can save you money in the long run. Not only will you have to replace them less often, but you will be saving money by running more energy efficient lighting. Using energy efficient LED bulbs also reduces the risk of damaging delicate items with heat since LEDs don’t give any off.

Similarly, because they do not get hot and risk burns, it makes the shop safer. Poor quality LEDs can overheat and not only damage the items they are illuminating, but potentially risk fire as well.

With good quality lights, you can better show off your products on display. Choose lights with a high CRI of 90 or above to render colour more accurately; colours, sparkle, richer fabric displays and fresher looking foods can all be accomplished with quality lights with a high CRI.

Colour temperature is an important element to consider when it comes to display cabinet lights. It is the metric to describe how warm or cool a light is, and is measured in units Kelvin. The spectrum ranges from 1,000k to 10,000k, with warm light towards the bottom and cool light towards the top.

Different colour temperatures are appropriate for different uses. Even LED lights for display cases need different colour temperatures depending on whatโ€™s inside.

In a display case full of gold jewellery or warm-coloured gemstones, glass display cabinet lights with a colour temperature between 2200k to 3000k warm white is recommended. This helps draw out the oranges and reds of the items within and makes them more noticeable.

For jewellery display cases that have diamonds or other special jewellery you want to display, 5000k to 6500k lighting is recommended. This is often referred to as โ€œdaylightโ€ colour and gives the most accurate representation of the items. It also improves the sparkle factor of the gems, giving them a more attractive and opulent appeal.

Any other kind of jewellery or similar items tend to work best with cool white light. This tends to run around 4100k. It is ideal for general purposes since it is more neutral in appearance.
