LEDtube-090-T08-Meat-P-15WM, 90 cm, for pork meat

METOLIGHT LED tube 090-T08-MEAT-P, 90 cm, 15 Watt, 1200 lm, matt, pink

LED tube for meat counters, especially for pork

unbreakable - shatterproof - flicker-free - no harmful UV light - suitable for refrigerated counters

Extra bright with Epistar SMD with 120 lm/W - Energy class F (EU 2019)
Retrofit replacement for fluorescent tubes T8 / T10 - 90 cm, 30 Watt, twist/fixable base G13, the tube can be optimally aligned.
The METOLIGHT LED tube of the MEAT series is significantly brighter than a conventional fluorescent tube 90 cm / 30 Watt - T8 - saves more than 50% energy with a shelf life about 10 times longer. The matt cover provides glare-free light at a light angle of approx. 120°-140°.
This series of LED tubes has been specially developed to display the meat on display in meat counters in its natural colours. We supply the LED tube MEAT-series in different pink colours, optimized for the respective meat types.
In the MEAT-P version, the light is generated by special coated LEDs, with a pink touch for meat such as pork appearing in its natural colours.
 

Why should special LED tubes be used in meat counters?
Early studies of pork suggested that surface temperature is a more important factor than exposure to light for the discoloration of pork and the growth of microorganisms on pork displays in refrigerated grocery store meat cabinets. However, the surface temperature of pork has been found to increase proportionately with the intensity of the lighting, regardless of whether the lamp is an incandescent or a cool white fluorescent lamp. With all meat, even slight increases in surface temperatures accelerate oxidation and allow bacteria to grow exponentially, causing the meat to turn brown and to decompose. Later studies have shown that even with the lower levels of myoglobin in pork as compared to beef, pork is still sensitive to the oxidizing effects of light and will become discolored, turning brown or grey, after prolonged exposure to light and UV radiation, impacting sales even though this color change is not as dramatic as it is in cuts of beef. Pork color is the most critical deciding factor for consumers when they select pork cuts from supermarket meat display cases. Fresh pork is optimally pink. Studies have found that pork shelf life is limited more by the development of a brown or grey color, which develops long before the meat has spoiled, than by any other factor. For pork, this discoloration is accelerated by increased surface temperatures which can result from using meat display lighting that emits large quantities of UV and harmful visible spectrum radiation. These increased temperatures can also cause pork fat to become rancid. In this case, P pink which less pink than RBW type and is closer to the meat color. It makes the pork more natural, as well as reduces the meat discoloration.

Easy tube exchange:
A rewiring of the lamp or even removing the existing magnetic ballasts is not necessary. The METOLIGHT-MEAT also operates directly on 230 V AC on all conventional magnetic ballasts. All you have to do is replace the supplied LED starter (item 101495). In the case of luminaires with electronic ballast, however, this must be removed by the electrician and the luminaire must be rewired. For this we offer our adapter clamp Art.101606, with which the conversion is possible quickly and professionally.
Benefits:
Epistar high efficiency SMD-LEDs with 120 lm/W, CRI Ra> 80, 26 mm - T8 diameter, rotable/fixable socket G13, special aluminium core PCB for best heat dissipation and long life, double insulated internal power supply, short-circuit protection, double insulated internal wiring. Stable aluminium cooling profile, extra light, unbreakable construction, very resistant to radiation. Insulation voltage proof > 3000 volts, high dielectric strength, no flickering due to voltage fluctuations. This LED tube is not dimmable.

Areas of application:
Use instead of conventional fluorescent tubes in corresponding luminaires with conventional ballast and starter. Particularly suitable for lighting in the food industry, meat counters, freezers etc. The existing starter must be replaced with the supplied LED fuse-starter (Asmetec article no. 101495).

Installation:
Easy to install: switch off the luminaire, remove the old fluorescent tube - replace the starter - METOLIGHT LED tube MEAT in - switch on the luminaire - done
