Challenge 01 01
Grease accumulation
Identify where airborne grease can settle and how it will be removed during routine cleaning.
JTC Lighting Solution
Commercial kitchen lighting designed around heat, grease and hygiene.
Commercial kitchen lighting should be selected by zone. Heat, grease, moisture, cleaning method, mounting position and service access should be assessed before a product is specified.
Application contextUnderstand the operating environment.
Engineering requirementsReview heat, moisture, cleaning and integration.
Solution pathwaysConnect requirements to appropriate systems.
Project supportPrepare drawings and data for selection.
Direct Answer
Commercial kitchen lighting should be selected by zone. Heat, grease, moisture, cleaning method, mounting position and service access should be assessed before a product is specified.
02 · Zone-First Selection
Cooking, Prep, Cleaning & Hood Zones
Cooking, Prep, Cleaning & Hood Zones
Start with the kitchen zone, not a generic IP rating.
Record the heat source, grease exposure, cleaning method, mounting position and access route for each zone. A canopy light above a cooking line is a different engineering decision from a prep bench or dishwashing area.
✓Separate cooking, preparation, wash-up and hood-integrated positions.
✓Confirm heat and grease exposure before choosing the housing and mounting path.
✓Use the equipment drawing to verify length, wiring exit and maintenance clearance.

Cooking-Line Exposure
Cooking-Line Exposure
Four conditions that change the kitchen-lighting specification.
Capture these conditions by zone and send them with the equipment drawing.
Challenge 02 02
Heat and humidity
Record local heat sources, steam paths and temperature cycling near the installed light.
Challenge 03 03
Frequent cleaning
Specify the cleaning method, distance, detergent and frequency rather than using “washable” as a requirement.
Challenge 04 04
Hygiene-sensitive operation
Check that surfaces, seals and service access support the site’s sanitation procedure.

Zone Mapping
Zone Mapping
Typical zones requiring separate review.
Zone-level classification prevents one generic specification from being applied everywhere.
Cooking lines
Assess exposure, cleaning, mounting and service access.
Preparation zones
Assess exposure, cleaning, mounting and service access.
Ventilation hoods
Assess exposure, cleaning, mounting and service access.
Cleaning areas
Assess exposure, cleaning, mounting and service access.
Central kitchens
Assess exposure, cleaning, mounting and service access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Common project questions.
Answers are concise and do not replace controlled product documents.
What should be evaluated first?
Commercial kitchen lighting should be selected by zone. Heat, grease, moisture, cleaning method, mounting position and service access should be assessed before a product is specified.
Can one product fit every area?
Not automatically. Each zone and installation should be reviewed separately.
What information improves selection?
Provide drawings, environmental conditions, cleaning method, mounting, dimensions and required documents.
Where are exact product specifications found?
Use the approved model datasheet and installation instructions.
