Well, you don't say if you're changing office lighting as well, however, =
if you are, use a "pink" light. Less reflection off of white paper and =
eye glasses, less strain and headaches.

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.
