Light up frozen food sales
Afnium LED modules are a brighter, more energy-efcient way to light up your sales of
refrigerated and frozen food. Designed for new installations as well as retrot of existing
uorescent systems in refrigerated display cases, they offer improved product visibility
and presentation with a lower cost of ownership. The Afnium LED lighting system for
refrigerated display cases is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and low-maintenance
solution that looks good from any angle.

The real cost
The refrigerated display section of a supermarket or convenience store requires
a substantial capital investment. In addition to the initial investment in display
equipment, operating expenses such as electricity and maintenance pose a
signicant hit to the retailer’s balance sheet.
Wasted electricity
A study performed by the United Nations Environment
Program suggests that worldwide, refrigeration equipment
represents approximately 35–50% of a supermarket’s electric
bill*, 25% of which is consumed by display case lighting.
Traditionally, the products inside display cases have been lit
with uorescent lamps. Although considered an efcient light
source under normal conditions, uorescent lamps perform
poorly in cold temperatures. In fact, these lamps only
perform at 20% of their optimal light output. Additionally,
most of the energy consumed by this antiquated lighting
system is converted to heat within the display case. This heat
requires the cooling system to work harder and to consume
more energy to maintain the required temperature.

Costly maintenance
The cold and harsh environment of a cooler or freezer also
has a negative effect on the lifetime of a uorescent lamp.
Lamps often have to be replaced within months of installation
and this frequent re-lamping, as well as unplanned spot
replacement, results in substantial maintenance costs.
A better way of lighting
Now, thanks to Philips, you can take advantage of the most
advanced LEDs available in the market. Our Afnium LED
modules drastically lower the energy consumption required
to achieve your desired lighting levels. In fact, a 25W Afnium
LED module can replace a less efcient 78W uorescent
solution and still provide a higher quality of light.

Better product visibility
Switching to an Afnium LED lighting system can offer
dramatic improvements in product presentation and visibility.
Traditional uorescent systems fail to illuminate where it
matters most — the merchandise at the center of your
shelves. The Afnium LED lighting system benets from our
expertise in LED technology and optics design. Our systems
are specially designed to distribute light uniformly across
display case shelves, effectively eliminating shadows and hot
spots. What’s more, the unique optic design of the Afnium
LED light source is optimized to focus on merchandise, rather
than throwing light unnecessarily into the store aisle, and the
module’s slim prole is not directly visible outside of your
display case.
LEDs also have minimal output degradation and color shift
so the light remains consistent throughout their long service
life. In addition, there is no warm-up time, which allows the
system to be turned off and back on again as needed.

Lighting that improves
more than your
bottom line
LEDs are the clear choice when it comes to sustainability, corporate responsibility, and
reduced environmental impact. Compared to uorescent lamps, they contain no mercury
or lead and signicantly reduce emissions such as CO2.
The Afnium LED lighting system has received Philips
Green Flagship certication. This certication guarantees
excellent light quality. It is given to products that are
proven to offer better environmental performance than
their predecessors or competing products. Evaluations
are based on energy consumption, hazardous substances,
weight, and lifetime reliability.
Philips Lighting: committed to providing
sustainable lighting solutions to enhance the
lives of people today and in the future.
Energy Efciency
• Affinium LED lighting systems are energy
eff icient and hence help reduce CO2 emissions.
Lifetime Reliability
• Affinium LED lighting systems offer a long and
reliable life and in this way help reduce end-oflife costs.
Minimized Hazardous Substances
• Affinium LED lighting systems contain
no mercury.
Best in Environmental Performance
Philips Green Flagship products and
ISO 14001 certication
Environmental management systems like ISO 14001
focus on improving the environmental performance of
your organization. One of its requirements is to evaluate
relevant environmental parameters and dene an
environmental improvement program.
Philips Green Flagship products help you to:
• Reduce the amount of hazardous substances
• Save on the amount of CO2 emissions
• Reduce the amount of waste
So, by choosing Philips Green Flagship products, you can
improve the environmental prole of your company and
help meet your sustainability and ISO 14001 targets.
A practical example
Retrotting all refrigerated display cases from uorescent
lamps to Afnium LED modules could have a huge
environmental impact. In fact, retrotting just one ve-
door case in a 24/7 store could save:
• 75 trees annually
• 5603 kWh per year — the energy consumption of nearly
two households per year
• Plus two tons in CO2 emissions annually
With the introduction of Afnium LED lighting systems,
Philips is a leader in the leisure goods sector of the
Dow Jones Sustainability Index in 2007

operation even when the wiring might be damaged.
Easy installation
Afnium LED modules are easy to install using our
specially designed mounting system. Whether new
equipment or retrot, the slim prole of the modules
enables easy installation for your varied refrigerated
display case applications.
