Light in Museums: 4 Reasons to Use LED Lights for Your Art Gallery
Lighting museums and art galleries well is extremely important. Light helps draw attention to works of art while preventing damage to the work itself. Often, these two imperatives tend to conflict with one another: exposing artwork to a source of intense light can sometimes affect its quality. A happy medium is essential to allow optimal visual appreciation of the art and to ensure that its characteristics are not tainted. This is why LED luminaires are the ultimate solution to lighting problems in museums and art galleries.
