Foodsafe LED-lighting

Ledlighting

Ledlighting b.v., in association with AFE, has developed LED armature for the food processing industry. The armature complies with the strict legislation and has obtained an official certificate: Foodsafe

Through the application in the food industry, all the components must meet the strict requirements. The components have been tested in laboratories and measure up to the standards of the Food and Drugs industry. The LED is also able to handle extreme temperatures during the production in -30º and cleaning in +70º.

By working together we managed to develop a product that meets all wishes:

  • Create little or none ambient heat
  • Low maintenance and energy efficient
  • Switched on or off without problems at extreme low temperatures.
  • Long lifespan in an extreme climate
  • Foodsafe
