Hi Tammy
Lighting is a big issue. A bulb we are trying is by GEN-LITE, GU-10 - =
21LED available at Rona. It fits into our present halogen system (not =
incandescent) Being LED, it has no UV, low energy consumption (1.4w) =
and supposedly will last 10,000 hours. It is a bright white and down =
side it is $19 a bulb.
LED will be the future lighting for museums.

Jim Millar

Subject: [Bcma-l] Museum lighting debate
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
