predict installed performance. Ramping tests are performed starting at 25°C to establish a
E
reference point and then the temperature is lowered progressively to colder set points. Fixtures are stabilized
T and various key temperatures are taken for components and light output measured. The resulting data allows
for informed luminaire selection and the ability to fit the right product to the specific user application.
Energy Efficient Cold Storage Lighting
Energy efficient fluorescent lighting solutions are now available for cold storage facilities. SpecLight’s superior
design capabilities and deep understanding of fluorescent lamp and ballast technology has combined to
create a new series of fluorescent luminaires that perform in temperatures to -20°F/-29°C.

The Benefits of Fluorescent Lighting for Cold Environments
Up to 50% Energy Savings – T5HO and T8
fluorescent luminaires offer 40-50% energy savings
over metal halide systems.
Improved Color – Higher CRI for fluorescent
systems provides better visibility and color recognition
for workers in cold storage areas.
Reduced Refrigeration Load – Lower input
watts reduces the heat load contribution for lighting
inside the cooled space by up to 50% over HID
systems.
Longer Life / Better Lumen Maintenance
– Fluorescent lighting systems have nearly twice
the lamp life with 95% of rated lumens at mean life
compared to 65% for metal halide.
Instant On-Off and Occupancy Sensor
Control – Fluorescent lighting is ideal for use with
motion sensor switching in lower occupancy areas
for increased energy savings.
Emergency Lighting – Fluorescent lighting
systems can be fitted with on-board battery back up
that eliminates the need for separate self-contained
emergency lighting equipment.

Designed for Cold Storage
SpecLight has a long history of utilizing prototype testing as an integral part of our engineering design
process. Creating fluorescent luminaires that perform in cold storage environments requires fine tuning of
components and influencing factors to produce high-quality results. Each fixture is designed to retain heat to
keep lamp lumen output high; utilizes specular MIRO®4 reflectors for controlled light output; and manages
lamp bulb wall temperature for optimum performance. The overall combination of these engineering efforts
is represented in the performance table below.
The Cold Temperature Thermal Factor indicated for each fixture type is used when calculating lighting levels
as an additional light loss factor (LLF). In many cases, this factor is greater than one because fixtures do not
necessarily create internal temperatures in normal 25°C environments that align with the optimum lamp
lumen output. The SpecLight FFB Series luminaires are designed to retain the heat necessary to optimize lamp
performance at the cold temperatures indicated. Measured light output is compared with the baseline 25°C
performance to create the thermal factor for each temperature. These luminaires actually perform better in
cold environments than they do at normal 25°C temperatures.

Note: Calculations are based on fixtures mounted at 25’ on center, two-row installation, 25’ mounting height for a 10’ wide aisle. Industry standard light loss factors for the different
systems were applied. Work plane is at the floor. Where lamp manufacturer published data varies, the most conservative figure has been used.
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.

The FFB14 series fluorescent luminaire provides significant energy savings, improved color recognition, and longer
maintenance cycles for cold storage facilities. Improvements in lamp and ballast technology combined with SpecLight’s
engineering experience have come together to create a better alternative to HID systems for low-temperature
environments. The FFB14 1’x4’ series is especially suited for aisles up to 25’ mounting height using the task beam optics.
The spread beam optics are designed for loading dock and staging areas with mounting heights to 18 feet.
• Specular aluminum reflectors are precision formed of 95% reflectance Alanod MIRO®4.
• Luminaire designs are engineered for high light output and tested in an in-house thermal chamber for cold environments down
to -20°F/-29°C ambient temperatures.
• Housing and door are double gasketed to contain lamp heat energy for maximum lumen output at low temperatures.
• Luminaire housing is powder coated after fabrication standard to seal all exposed steel parts for corrosion protection.
• Mounting is accomplished with two-point chain or aircraft cable hangers connected to external integral housing brackets.
• Motion sensor control options are available as an externally mounted accessory.
• Integral emergency battery back-up options are available for most models.

Motion sensors can be used in
many cases for increased energy
savings in cold storage applications.
Detailed testing has been conducted
at SpecLight to determine the
performance
characteristics
of
sensors in various lamp control
configurations. The primary design
factor that should be considered in
using sensors is the time required
for cold lamps to come up to a
reasonable level of brightness to
serve the required task.
The
starting
and
warm-up
characteristics of T5HO and T8
lamps differ and the time to achieve
reasonable brightness varies based
on the temperature of the lamp
when it is required to start. In order
to maintain some warmth in the
fixture to improve the warm-up
time a strategy of leaving two or
more lamps on continuously can
be deployed. The chart indicates
possible lamp control configurations
for high and low activity aisles.
Application should be made based
on understanding the specific
operation for each project.

* 2 hangers per kit; must be ordered separately
** Motion sensor must be ordered as a fixture option in the catalog number string.
Fixtures are factory wired to accommodate field installation of the sensor. Program
rapid start ballast recommended for use with motion sensor control where more than
10 on-off cycles occur in each 24-hour period.
*** Most emergency batteries are rated to 32°F. Special batteries are available for lower
temperature as a special order. Consult factory for lower temperature options.
Case Study
50% Energy Savings Over HID
This frozen food distribution warehouse facility
located on the West Coast was illuminated with
conventional 400-watt probe start metal halide high
bay style luminaires. The users complained of dark
areas with deep shadows. Fluorescent task beam
distribution luminaires were installed on a one-for-one
basis that reduced energy significantly and increased
maintained illumination.
Energy Savings
• Existing System: 400-watts MH High Bay Luminaire
with 460-watts input
Before
• New System: FFB14 Series 4-F54T5HO Task Beam
with 235-watts input
• Overall Energy Savings: One-for-One Replacement
= 50%
Lighting System Improvements
• Existing System: CRI of 65, Lamp Lumen
Depreciation of 0.65, Lamp life 20,000 hours
•New System: CRI of 85, Lamp Lumen Depreciation
of 0.95, Lamp life 35,000 hours
After
Note: NR indicates that the use of sensors for this fixture at this temperature is not recommended due to excessive
time for lamps to reach a reasonable brightness level
