How to Light Your Walk-In Cooler or Freezer

Did you know that lighting can contribute to up to 50 percent of a business' electrical use? If you own a walk-in cooler or freezer, it's important to choose the right kind of lighting.

An efficient light will not only cost you less to operate, but also will produce less heat, allowing your commercial refrigeration unit to stay colder.

This chart from ENERGY STAR compares the CRI (Color Rendering Index), efficacy, lifetime hours and color temperature of popular lighting technologies:

The higher the CRI, the better. Efficacy measures light output. Color temperature allows you to compare how cool (blue) or warm (orange) a light is.
