LED lighting in museums

 

Lighting solutions for museums present a special challenge because the artificial light has to be gentle enough to protect works of art from long-term damage. The lighting also has to display the exhibits in their authentic colors. LEDs are ideal for meeting these requirements and are therefore being used more and more for museum lighting.

Light and heat constitute the greatest potential threats to works of art. Professional LED lighting provides pleasant high-quality light that is gentle on materials so it perfectly meets the needs of museums. In contrast to natural daylight and thermal radiators, light emitting diodes produce low UV radiation and minimal infrared radiation. Other benefits include long lamp life, high energy efficiency and enormous flexibility because the light can be easily adapted to individual circumstances either optically or electronically.
