LED Wine Cellar Lighting: the Solution to Your Needs
With various lighting options available in the market today, it is easy to fall into a trap. Never choose a lighting system because it produces a very bright light or because of its low price.
At IronWine Cellars, we want to ensure that your collection is protected for many years to come. We recommend and use LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights, which are increasing in popularity because of the benefits they offer.
It Illuminates Your Wine Cellar Just Right
LED is a type of lighting system that provides an ample amount of light for moving around your wine cellar and reading the wine labels. Please discuss with us your needs so we can incorporate a lighting fixture according to your desired mood or ambiance.
We will install dimmer lights so you can control the brightness in your wine room. We can also add controls that will allow you to select different lighting configurations to highlight specific areas in your wine cellar and racking.
Keep in mind that a wine storage structure must have a stable environment to preserve the quality of the wines stored in it. One of the ways to stay within the ideal temperature range (55 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit) is by minimizing heat exposure.
Wine is a delicate beverage. Too much heat and light exposure will deteriorate wine easily. To protect it from these harmful external factors, it is typically stored in a colored glass bottle and stored far from windows facing the sunlight and appliances that generate heat.
Excessive heat will affect the sealing ability of the cork. It will reduce the size of the cork and allow an unwanted amount of air to enter the bottle and mix with the wine. When this happens, it can result in oxidation, causing the wine to taste like wet cardboard or burnt fruit.
It Does Not Emit Ultraviolet Light
UV light is another factor that can damage wine. Some people might think that they can use ordinary bulbs like incandescent (e.g., halogen) or fluorescent lights for their wine room without knowing they emit damaging UV rays. UV light produces excessive heat and causes chemical reactions in the wine. With LED lights, you will not have to worry about this because they do not produce UV rays.
It is Energy Efficient
Energy efficiency is another factor to consider when choosing a wine cellar lighting system. When you use LED lights, you use less energy while getting the same or more benefits. Less energy consumption means a lower energy bill. Although LED lights are a bit more costly than other types of lighting, you will save money in the long run because they have low voltage and a longer lifespan.
It Offers Many Options
LED lamps come in various light colors, from the warm whites of incandescent (2700K) up to cool whites of fluorescent (5000K). LEDs can be dimmable and PAR (directional) to fit your lighting design needs.
Other styles of LED wine cellar lighting are recessed can light, track light (also known as a spotlight), indirect, and panel lighting. We recommend track lighting for the main lighting in your wine cellar or highlighting some of the sections in the racking. You may choose a lighting system that points in a downward or an upward direction.
LED panel lighting makes use of light panels that can be sandwiched by two ¾ inch acrylic boards to achieve a mellow lighting effect at the back of the racking. We can combine any of these lighting systems to illuminate your wine cellar according to the mood that you want to achieve.
If done right, your LED wine cellar lighting, whether recessed from the ceiling, mounted on the wall, or hidden at the back of your racking, will make your wine display area a piece of art.
