Museum Uses
Projections highlight a doorway, label a wing, or cast a subtle pattern near an exhibit edge without touching the art. Because LED gobo light is cool and UV-free, it meets conservation standards that traditional spots fail.
Low light levels in galleries mean even modest power reads clearly.
Museum Checklist
- No UV and negligible heat from LED.
- Precise lens for clean edges.
- Very low noise for quiet galleries.
- Warm, conservation-safe light.
- Secure mount away from art.
Museum Comparison
| Use | Unit | Power | Placement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exhibit edge | 15 to 50 W lens | 15 to 50 W | Wall 2 to 5 m |
| Wing label | 15 W logo | 15 W | Doorway |
| Atrium mark | 50 W logo | 50 W | 5 to 10 m |
| Outdoor facade | IP65 150 W | 150 W | 10 to 20 m |
Conservation First
Keep the beam on architecture and labels, never directly on paintings or textiles. LED gobo projection is safe as accent light, but direct long exposure of any kind is avoided in conservation.
Brightness for Galleries
Galleries are dim; 15 to 50 W is plenty for an edge accent or label. There is no need for power that would disturb the careful light budget.
Mistakes
- Beam on the artwork itself.
- UV-emitting source (avoid; use LED).
- Audible fan in a quiet hall.
- Glare on framed works.
