Proper lighting is essential to any commercial cooking operation. That is why HoodFilters.com provides high-performance, safe, and energy-efficient lighting for restaurant exhaust hoods.
Our exhaust hood lights are UL listed, NFPA approved and designed to meet the rigors of a commercial kitchen. By installing adequate lighting in your cooking area, you will improve the working environment and help ensure the safety of your staff.
How LED lighting can benefit your restaurant
The average restaurant owner has hundreds of details to think about during any moment of the day, and kitchen lighting isn’t likely to be high on the list. However, your exhaust hood lighting can have a dramatic effect on both your energy usage, as well as the conditions of the kitchen.
LED bulbs have been shown to reduce energy consumption by 75% when compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, so you’ll already be saving on your utility costs simply by installing them. Additionally, LED bulbs are rated for a lifespan of 50,000 usage-hours, or approximately 35-50 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Over years, these savings can accumulate significantly, and you and your employees will waste far less time changing light bulbs when there are other important jobs to be done.
For your kitchen exhaust hood, it’s important to use UL listed LED bulbs that are rated to 185 degrees F for high temperature environments.
Features that promote safety and performance
Since there are already several potential sources of broken glass in a commercial kitchen, you don’t want to increase the likelihood of an accident. All of the lamp housings we offer are constructed from tempered glass, providing your employees with an extra level of safety when necessary. In the event of breakage, the globe will remain intact and you won’t have to worry about small shards of glass flying all over the kitchen.
We also offer a silicone coated light housing, which assists with heat diffusion and keeps the globe from developing brown heat stains throughout years of use. These greaseproof and waterproof lighting accessories will help keep your kitchen in peak operating condition so that your kitchen staff can do what they do best.
Customizable light installations to meet your needs
In conclusion, HoodFilters.com offers several lighting options for your restaurant exhaust hood, allowing you to purchase as many or as few parts as you need to complete your setup. If you’re starting from the ground up, you can purchase a unit which includes the tempered globe, lighting fixture, wire cage guard, and porcelain socket. The only piece you need to provide is a junction box. Alternatively, any of those pieces are available individually if you just need a simple replacement part.
The globe housing will accommodate any corkscrew bulb that fits inside, but HoodFilters.com also offers exceptional LED bulbs designed to work within the housing. These high-performance bulbs are mercury-free, feature a heat rating of 167 degrees F, and have no ultraviolet emissions.
