FFB14 Series Cold Storage Luminaire Cold Storage Lighting Application Guide
Fluorescent luminaires require careful design to achieve superior performance in cold environments. The FFB
series fluorescent luminaires have been individually tested at each design temperature for light level output.
The cold temperature thermal factor should be used as additional light loss factor when calculating footcandle
levels. Because these luminaires were designed especially for cold storage applications they actually perform
better in these temperatures than in normal 25°C environments.
