Jewelry display cabinet: How to use lighting and materials to enhance the value of goods?

1. Lighting Design: Make Jewelry Shine with a "Luxury" Sense

Color Temperature Selection: The "Best Match" for Different Jewelry

Experimental Data:

Cool white light (6000K) increases the fire brightness of diamonds by 35%.

Warm light (3000K) increases the visual weight of gold by 20%.

Lighting Position: Avoid glare and shadows

Top spotlights: Illuminate at a 45° angle to create highlights on the jewelry surface (suitable for diamonds).

Side light strips: Soften the light and reduce glare on metal (suitable for gold and silver jewelry).

Bottom backlighting: Translucent design reveals the internal texture of jadeite (requires acrylic light guide).

Tips to Avoid:

Avoid direct eye exposure (lights must be equipped with anti-glare grilles).

Avoid ultraviolet rays (UV < 400nm) that can discolor pearls and amber.

Daily Cleaning (Daily/Weekly)

• Glass Surface Cleaning

Correct Procedure:

Dust Removal: Gently brush away dust from the surface with a microfiber cloth (such as a 3M Magic Wipe).

Stain Removal: Spray a small amount of glass cleaner (containing less than 5% alcohol) or a 1:1 ratio of white vinegar and water, and wipe in a single direction.

Polishing: Wipe again with a dry chamois cloth to avoid water stains.

Contraindications:

Do not use newspaper or rough rags (which can easily scratch the glass).

Avoid ammonia-based cleaners (which can corrode the anti-glare coating).

• Metal Frame Care

Stainless Steel/Chrome:

Spray with a special metal care spray and wipe to prevent oxidation.

Gently wipe areas with an alcohol pad for fingerprints.

Brass/Bronze:

Apply copper paste monthly to maintain the shine.

• Interior Flannel Cleaning

Vacuuming: Use a small vacuum cleaner (with a brush) to remove dust weekly. Stain Removal: For localized stains, gently scrub with a flannel cloth and a soft-bristle brush. Avoid washing with water.

Lighting System Maintenance (Monthly/Quarterly)

• LED Light Strip/Spotlight Inspection

Brightness Test: Use a lux meter to measure the brightness at the center of the counter (recommended ≥1000 lux).

Color Temperature Calibration: If the light appears yellowish (color temperature degradation), replace the LED module with one of the same specifications.

• Circuit Safety

Inspect Wiring: Check for aging wires and signs of rat bites.

Connector Reinforcement: Plug-in lamp caps should be tightened regularly to prevent poor contact and flickering.

• Heat Dissipation: Clean dust around the lamp (overheating shortens LED life).

In high-temperature areas, install a small cooling fan (such as a computer CPU fan).

Deep Maintenance (Six Months/Years)

• Glass Scratch Repair

Minor scratches: Use automotive glass polishing compound and a polishing machine to repair.

Coating Delamination: Contact the manufacturer to reapply UV protection.

• Hardware Maintenance

Hinges/Slides: Lubricate with white lithium-based grease (for silent opening and closing).

Locks: Inject graphite powder to prevent rust (do not use oil-based lubricants).

• Overall Structural Safety Inspection

Stability Test: Shake the counter to check for looseness (especially corner cabinets).

Load-bearing Verification: Multi-layer display cabinets must ensure that the shelves can bear a load of 50 kg or more (to prevent deformation).

Seasonal Precautions

• Moisture Prevention During the Rainy Season

Place silica gel desiccant (2 packs per square meter) inside the cabinet.

Dehumidify velvet interiors with a dehumidifier once a week.

• Anti-static Precautions in Winter

Apply anti-static film to metal frames.

Add diluted fabric softener when cleaning (to reduce frictional charging).

3. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Jewelry Display Cabinets

• How long does it take for LED light strips to need replacement?

Reference lifespan:

High-quality LED light strips: 50,000 hours (approximately 5-6 years).

Replacement signals: Noticeable dimming, flickering, or color temperature shift (e.g., yellowing).

• How can I prevent fingerprints on glass display cabinets?

Solution:

Choose anti-fingerprint coated glass (oleophobic coating technology).

For daily cleaning, use a glass cleaner with an alcohol content of less than 5%.

• What is the optimal humidity level in a display cabinet?

Jewelry storage standards:

Metals (gold/karat gold): 40%-50% humidity.

Organic gemstones (pearls/coral): 50%-60% humidity.

Tools: Built-in small hygrometer + silica gel desiccant for adjustment.

• Will excessive light fade jewelry?

Risk categories:

Fading-prone: Opal, amethyst, malachite.

Safety range: Illumination ≤ 1500 lux, UV index < 10 μW/lm.

• Why do counter hinges squeak?

Cause and Solution:

Lack of lubrication: Apply white lithium grease (do not use motor oil).

Loose screws: Tighten with a precision screwdriver (torque 0.5 N·m).

• Does the display cabinet need a grounding wire?

Safety Regulations:

Metal-frame counters must be grounded (to prevent static electricity and leakage).

Test Method: Touch the cabinet with a voltage tester. If the light comes on, check the wiring.
