Grote designed its 61291 LED whitelight recessed-mount dome lamp as an alternative to fluorescent lamps in refrigerated environments to provide consistent operating performance and lighting quality in subzero temperatures. The impact-resistant lamp has a 50,000-hour service rating and is constructed of a robust one-piece powder-coated aluminum housing with a removable polycarbonate lens. It has a built-in thermal protection device and operates at temperatures ranging from -40 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. The lamp’s six high-output diodes generate about 1,000 lumens of light output, comparable to that of fluorescent lamps, but draw only about 63 percent of the amperage. The 61291 features a protected solid-state circuit board and, unlike a fluorescent lamp, has no ballast or bulb to fail.
