LED LIGHTING for
Food Grade

Food manufacturing facilities and other food processing environments offer interesting lighting challenges. Typical concerns include minimising risk of glass fragments, airborne dust particles, high humidity, insect attraction and grease build-up.

Proven Benefits

Kellwood's consultants can help support your HACCP food plan by specification of suitable lighting products, using lighting design software to achieve recommended lux levels. The reduced running temperature of LED lights helps lower the requirement for costly air conditioning. Further savings can be achieved through the application of smart controls to create an intelligent lighting system.
