[BCMA] Track Light Sources

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

If you're lighting displays, there are lots of issues about the 
wavelength of the light you should be using. A very flexible system that 
we used recently to light a case of aboriginal baskets that was highly 
light-sensitive was the NOUVIR (no UV or IR) equipment. It's a halogen 
light source like a projector that guides light directly to the object 
being lighted with fibre-optic plastic tubes and tiny mirrors. This also 
means there is no heat on the objects.

It worked superbly for this application, and is used at many museums 
world-wide. I would also highly recommend the staff who have been 
nothing but helpful as we decided what pieces we needed. It's not a 
particularly cheap system, but I believe that it pays for itself with 
the results you get.
