Hi Everyone

We have been asked to install suitable lighting in a commercial kitchen, the lights are to be mounted under a Stainless steel extractor canopy to light the stove areas so will be subject to heat and cooking steam & vapour.

Has anyone got experience of this and can suggest a suitable make or supplier of such lighting please?

Thank you

worst place for lighting to operate as
1 tight getting maintenance

2 grease ect

3 heat isnt so much of an issue as most will go up the extractor
4 ingress from top fixings due to steam condensating on the stainless steel

Id suggest looking at "Designplan" fittings ( expensive BUT quality)they make utility fittings for subways ect I wouldnt go for something like Thorn Aquatron due to the grease and heat causing the clips to break and warping the plastic base
Good luck
 
You should fully enclose the tubes, to prevent broken glass getting in the food.
They make thin plastic covers for this purpose.
I'd probably go with weatherproof fittings.
 
Ye gods, there the same fittings I was using 20+ years ago!

Hope they’ve improved a bit. (Probably not).

Indeed they have
Here is a fitting ideal for commercial cooker hoods,it overcomes all the problems
