Precision-Paragon [P2]’s QHC LED high-bay luminaire features TIR-based short wavelength light suppression optics, preventing emission of light waves below 500 nm. This allows installation in sensitive applications such as certain food processing plants, dairies and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, where goods are susceptible to photooxidation–degradation due to reaction to certain wavelengths of light. This degradation can create off-flavors and reduce the shelf life of foods like milk, chocolate, beer and butter. It can also reduce the shelf life of some pharmaceuticals.
According to Precision-Paragon, the 139W QHC can replace a 465W high-pressure sodium luminaire for 70% energy savings.
