Easy to clean, low maintenance
To withstand the intensive cleaning, lighting in a galley kitchen or pantry on a ship must have a high ingress protection (IP) rating and should be made from chemical-resistant materials. High temperatures are often present in cooking areas. In addition to these requirements, the light fittings must be easy to install, maintenance-free and should provide sufficient illumination with an appropriate colour rendering (CRI).
Important factors to consider when selecting lighting solutions for galleys and pantries:
- Easy to clean.
- Mechanically solid and robust.
- No maintenance and reduced power consumption (high energy efficiency).
- No or minimum glare.
- Low ceiling height.
