LEDtube-120-T08-Meat-RBW-20WM, 120 cm, for beef meat

METOLIGHT LED tube 120-T08-MEAT-RBW, 120 cm, 20 Watt, 1600 lm, matt, pink

LED tube for meat counters, especially for beef

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

Extra bright with Epistar SMD with 120 lm/W - Energy class A+ (EU 2012) F (EU 2019)
Retrofit replacement for fluorescent tubes T8 / T10 - 120 cm, 36 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 120 cm / 36 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-RBW version, the light is generated by red, blue and white LEDs, with red and blue tones predominating and dark meat such as beef appearing in its natural colours.
Why should special LED tubes be used in meat counters?
Studies found that beef stored in the dark for three to ten days did not change colour significantly, while beef stored under fluorescent lamps for the same period of time turned brown after only five days. A 28-day study conducted at the University of Zaragoza in 2000 showed that ultraviolet light has a profound effect on the rate of meat spoilage and the formation of metmyoglobin, the pigment that gives meat a brownish surface color.The microorganisms, which attach themselves quickly to fresh beef and are primarily responsible for the spoilage of beef in the refrigerated counters of food stores, are psychrotrophic bacteria, i. e. those that can grow at cold temperatures and belong to the genus Pseudomonas. While these bacteria are not harmful in themselves, they contribute to the discoloration and spoilage of beef by accelerating the oxidation of myoglobin to metmyoglobin, the pigment that makes fresh meat look brown and reduces the shelf life of fresh beef to 2-3 days. METOLIGHT LED tubes of the MEAT series do not emit UV light and protect the meat.

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
