Proposal to Reduce the Exposure to Light of Museum Objects Without Reducing Illuminance (2000-10)

On December 31, 2000 By Derek Linn

Christopher Cuttle works with the Lighting Research Center, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to explore museum lighting options. This image by Stuck in Customs on Flickr.

"Many types of museum exhibits are susceptible to damage caused by exposure to light, and current recommendations for museum lighting include avoidance of nonvisible radiant power (UV and IR), limitation of illumination level, and restriction of exposure duration. This article investigates the notion that the visual satisfaction provided by incandescent sources could be matched with significantly less irradiance by illumination composed of three spectral bands corresponding to red, green, and blue light."
