What are they storing in these cabinets???

 

[telectrix]

from the OP , meat might be a clue.

 

[Pete999]

Yes point taken, but what I was trying to get at would there be a need for enclosed type fittings with some IP category specified

 

[telectrix]

ah, see what you mean. seems to be for meat display counter, so don't thoink IP rating is critical.

I would go for a sealed fitting , just thinking about the hygiene aspect and the cleaning of the fittings ,

I went to the butchers to buy 8 venison legs saturday but i didnt bother in the end as they were 2 DEAR !!!!

Yes its meat they display in the cabinet, this is why they have asked for the above fluorescent tube.
I think I will go for the above fitting with lamp. The only thing I was unsure of is it said in the lamp spec that it was a T8 cap?

I worked part time at a butchers when I was 15 and at the end of the day when cleaning up they scrub the $hit out of these cabinets for food hygiene reasons so I'd go for an IP rated. Unless they put pre packaged meat in the cabinets....

I asked for some beef that was on the top shelf. The butcher couldn't reach them as the steaks were too high

I went to buy some steak, but I chickened out, my Mrs passed the buck and we had some chops instead:tounge_smile:

I was chatting to the butcher about cows the other day...... it was no good though as it went in one ear and out the udder !!!
