For museums, the use of LED lighting is more interesting from day to day. In fact, works of art must be kept in a cool, dry place in the dark to protect them from damage. However, to ensure that museum visitors continue to enjoy the works, the ideal lighting is needed.

Lighting in museums should always serve two purposes:

  • 1.       General Illumination - Sufficient brightness throughout the room
  • 2.       Accent lighting - accentuate brightness on different works/objects


Which LED lighting for museums?


Showcase lighting

Some objects can be exhibited in showcases with appropriate lighting.

For windows without their own illumination, the ceiling lighting should always focus on the window, to prevent any reflection. In addition, it is recommended in this case to use anti-reflective lenses and dimmable (dimmable) lights. Ceiling lighting.

Lighting for objects

Some objects find a certain charm when illuminated in the dark. With moving spotlights, spotlights and spotlights it is possible to illuminate an object entirely or parts of it. Thus, the shadows accentuate the structure and silhouette.

As opposed to spotlights that have a lighting beam, the spotlights have a larger lighting angle, which is ideal for fully illuminating an object. It is necessary to put away the object to illuminate it correctly.

Lighting for works of art

The biggest enemy of paintings is natural light. And yet, the challenge for a museum is to provide the most natural light - with artificial light.

Previously used, halogen or incandescent lamps cause very little damage to works of art due to their low UV radiation content. But, due to high heat diffusion, they can have more negative effects and are less appropriate than LED.

Ballasts for lamps and LEDs

Ballasts for lamps and LEDs Fluorescent tubes, as well as other types of discharge lamps, are not suitable for direct connection to the power grid. The ballasts are then used in combination with the starters to light the lamps. Conventional fluorescents and discharge lamps do not work without ballasts and must always be connected to them. For fluorescent tubes, the third generation of ballasts is currently used. Also know that even with LED technology, we also use "ballasts" called drivers in this case. In general, there are 2 types of ballasts: ·          Conventional ballasts, and the economic version ·          Electronic ballasts Conventional ballasts: Since 2017, only energy class A2 ballasts are installed. For the next few years, conventional ballasts may no longer be sold in the EU because they do not meet the growing requirements for energy efficiency. Like incandescent ...

For what use high bay LED? What are the stakes for lighting large outdoor spaces? To be properly lit, it is important that department stores, factories or warehouses have powerful lighting to ideally cover all the space (vertical and horizontal). Most of the time, these areas have a high ceiling. This is why the luminaires used must be powerful, and the light must have a high color rendering to allow to see the products in the best way possible. In addition, employees who work there must be able to practice in secure areas. So, the solutions used for this type of application have been discharging lamps or sodium vapor lamps. However, innovations have been made with LED technology compared to traditional lighting. Here are the issues to highlight when illuminating these areas: ·          The life of the luminaires must be as long as possible ·          Use as little energy as possibl...
