I was thinking of putting LED lights in the brewery but my brew buddy had already done research and said the best is regular old incandescent light. I've heard they make a beer light for this purpose but that may be a rumour. I always pull from the back or bottom unless it's encased or in cans of course.
The Wernesgrüner at ALDI stores here comes not only in brown bottles but only in six packs in the full wrap-around cardboard carriers, so they are fairly well protected. I can see singles right up against the lights in the case getting skunked. Thanks to @ebbelwoi for pointing out that it's still possible, I should have said skunking is "less of an issue" in my previous post. I've always cringed at the fact that the beer coolers in the supermarkets use fluorescent light, and they stack the bottles right up under them. I'm curious about these "beer lights," and if they might be more economically viable for retailers than incandescent, which both draw a lot of current and put extra demand on the refrigeration.
I've been on the internet and can find no mention of lights for beer coolers. I did however learn that the UV light that reacts with the hop oils are in the 300nm to 550nm wavelength. Incandescent is about 500nm to 2500nm but is skewed and so doesn't have as much effect. Red and orange lights have longer wavelengths but either would look weird.
Nope, their spectrum is in the UV range.
