Compared to incandescent bulbs, fluorescent bulbs have a longer lifecycle of not less than 35 times longer than that of incandescent bulbs. Though initially, they may cost a little more, fluorescent lamps will not only save you time but also money by minimizing the multiple times your bulb needs to be changed. With fluorescent lighting, your kitchen will be cool, unlike with incandescent lighting, which can filter some light into the area surrounding the bulbs making the kitchen environment uncomfortable and expensive to cool. Fluorescent canopy hood lights can give your staff comfort and also reduce your monthly bills.

LED bulbs can not only reduce the energy use by almost a half but also, they can last much longer compared to incandescent bulbs. Studies show that LED bulbs can reduce energy consumption with a higher percentage, and also, they are known to have a long life. Next, they produce less heat which is of great importance to a busy commercial kitchen; for starters, you will save dramatically on power charges. Unlike CFL bulbs, LEDs have no disposal issue— CFL contains mercury which is not easy to dispose. If you decide to go the LEDs way for your hood lighting, make sure that the LED bulbs are listed with UL. Last but not least, LED bulbs are striking bright and such kind of brightness will help in maintaining a safe environment in a busy kitchen. Remember, added visibility is added safety.

To protect your kitchen light fixtures from the likes of grease, heat, and moisture, you need to use a tempered coated globe. Tempered globes are far close to four times stronger than ordinary glass. Instead of breaking to spiky shards like their counterparts, tempered glass will instead crack into small safe pieces.
Having general lighting in a commercial kitchen is as important but lighting for precise tasks is very crucial. Task lighting focuses on prep areas through out the commercial kitchen. Usually, kitchen tasks either need lighter or light directed on one area. Other places in the kitchen might need something different, and that calls for different light designs so that every work performed can have not only enough but the proper lighting.
Due to the cooking that takes place in the kitchen, this is an already warm environment and so adding unnecessary heat is the last thing you would ever wish. Don’t forget that the additional heat produced and the one lost means wasting money and for this case a lot of money as well as energy. When changing electricity into light, traditional fittings produce some heat – which is a great deal, but on the other hand, there are much better technologies that produce less heat – but at the same time produce enough light.
To add on to the LED technology, here are some good reasons why you should choose LED over the traditional lightings.
Correct lighting reduces the risks of the working conditions of any commercial kitchen. Staff who have clear lighting in their working areas are unlikely to cause accidents.
