Today this technology is entering the mainstream due to the many benefits it can provide.

Let’s discover it together.

Environmental awareness, attention to energy costs and aesthetics have fostered the rethinking of the internal lighting of refrigerators, which until recently were illuminated with an incandescent bulb whose absorption could vary from 10 to 25 watts, depending on the size.

As a rule, a single light point was positioned in a decentralised area - usually at the top on the right. This light could have been brighter and consequently had limited diffusion or was obstructed by food in the immediate vicinity.

It could be challenging to see how much and what food there was, causing avoidable waste.

Today this lighting system has been replaced in almost all refrigerators with LED technology.

The advantages? Essentially three:

• 1. Greater efficiency in both energy and duration. The average life of these lamps is about 50 thousand hours, but for some models, it is up to 100 thousand hours, with a constant luminosity output of 70%

• 2. This lighting system does not create heat and therefore does not affect the internal temperature of the refrigerator compartment. The cold light, up to four times brighter and particularly clear, allows optimal and uniform lighting, making everything inside visible, especially in the corners and the bottom of the shelves.

• 3. Given its small size, positioning inside the refrigerator compartment is very flexible. Depending on the model, it is used centrally as a ceiling light in the upper part of the interior, as a column on the back wall for its entire height or vertically on both sides. The most recent solutions are using LED rows integrated into the back wall of each shelf.

At Homa, we add an extra point, less functional and more associated with the aesthetics of the product:

• 4. An indirect lighting system such as LED can visually enhance the materials used. And if the lighting intensity slowly increases once the door is opened, the effect is even more significant.
