Subject: [Bcma-l] lighting question

Hi Everyone: We are changing the exhibits in all of our galleries and are
trying to find lighting solutions. We have an existing track system that
allows to place fixtures pretty well wherever we want but we wanting to
create some dramatic effects. Some walls will require a wash of light but
other areas, particularly cases, need a more focused dramatic look. My
questions are:

1. Are compact fluorescents suitable for museum lighting? Do they emit UV
light? What colour temperature works best in museums? I have tried a 4100
degree K. light and it seems so cold.

2. What about halogen lights?

3. Should we stick with incandescent?

Replies of list are welcomed but perhaps these are questions that others
might be interested in.

Thanks for the help.
