The Ideal Color Temperature for Displaying Meat, Fish, Vegetables, and Bread in Stores
The perception of products in stores is significantly influenced by the color of lighting, which also has an impact on our well-being. As a result, finding the optimal color temperature for store lighting is crucial. This article explores the ideal color temperature for displaying various food items, including meat, fish, vegetables, and bread.
Understanding Color Temperature
Color temperature refers to the different shades of white light, such as cool, neutral, and warm, rather than colored lights like red, blue, or green. It is measured in Kelvin (K). Lower Kelvin values indicate redder light, while higher values indicate bluer light. Warm white light typically ranges from 2700 to 3000 Kelvin, while cool white light averages around 4500 Kelvin.
Lighting for Fresh Red Meat
To showcase red meat, it is recommended to use warm white light with a color temperature of 2700 to 3000 Kelvin. This lighting enhances the freshness of meat products due to its emphasis on red shades. Steaks, rack of lamb, and minced meat appear more appetizing under this warm lighting, accentuating their natural red color. Conversely, cool white light with more blue shades would give red meat an incorrect and aged appearance.
Recolux Lighting has developed the LED Rose Food series, specifically designed for cut meat products. These lamps emit rose-colored light, which further highlights the fresh, red color of the meat. This innovation helps extend the shelf life of fresh meat products while reducing waste.
Lighting for Fresh Fish (White vs. Red)
When it comes to displaying fish, a distinction is made between white-meat and red-meat fish. White fish, such as plaice, cod, and sole, is best showcased under cool white light. This lighting choice enhances their freshness. On the other hand, red fish, like tuna, benefits from a warmer color temperature to emphasize its natural color.
Lighting for Cheese, Bread, and Pastries
To accentuate cheese, warm white light with a slightly yellowish tone is ideal. This color temperature attracts attention and stimulates the appetite. Similarly, warm light complements bread, giving it an extra crispy and fresh appearance. However, it’s important to avoid excessively warm white light as it can make bread look overly brown and unnatural.
Lighting for Fruits and Vegetables
For fruits and vegetables, a light temperature of approximately 3000 Kelvin is recommended. This color temperature effectively highlights the vibrant colors of most produce. However, it’s worth noting that different vegetables react differently to light. Leafy vegetables, such as lettuce, benefit from high-intensity lighting, enhancing their bright green colors. Conversely, light-sensitive vegetables like potatoes, onions, asparagus, chicory, and mushrooms should be stored in darker conditions to prevent spoilage.
It is recommended to use LED lighting for food products such as vegetables, fruit, meat, and fish. LED lamps do not emit UV radiation, which helps prevent discoloration of the displayed items. While it is a common misconception that LEDs don’t generate heat, all light sources produce some level of heat. However, LED lights generate significantly less heat compared to halogen lights, reducing the risk of food drying out.
Overview light colour temperature food
To provide a comprehensive overview, the following table summarizes the recommended light color temperatures for each food category:
In addition to food items, the lighting in clothing shops, especially in fitting rooms, plays a crucial role. Warm lighting with a suitable color temperature is recommended for clothing stores. This type of lighting gives visitors a healthy, brown tone, making customers look better and increasing the likelihood of a sale. It is essential to provide sufficient light in clothing stores so that customers can clearly see the items they intend to purchase.
In conclusion, selecting the appropriate color temperature for lighting is essential for showcasing various food products in stores effectively. Whether it’s warm white light for fresh red meat, cool white light for white fish, or a slightly yellowish tone for cheese and bread, understanding the impact of lighting on different products can enhance their appearance and appeal to customers. By considering the specific lighting needs of each food category, store owners can create an inviting and visually appealing shopping experience for their customers.
