Hi, everyone,
As part of our renovation project which is now going on, we're redoing =
all the lighting in one of our buildings. I'm seeking advice on types =
and sources of lighting fixtures and bulbs. Until now, we've been using =
60w incandescent bulbs, but now we're looking at the more =
environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient choices. Is there a =
compact fluorescent bulb out there that is safe for museum use? What =
about UV filtering/colour rendering, etc? Preferably, anything we go =
with is available at our local Home Building Supply!
We do have a fair amount of natural light in the building. Most, if not =
all, of our new lighting will be recessed ceiling lighting. Any advice =
would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tammy
