Museum lighting application


Now more and more museums and art galleries are aware of the importance of lighting. Except for many museums in the building, interior and exhibition parts, the biggest investment is lighting.


At present, how to provide the audience with rich exhibitions and create a good visual light environment, at the same time, how to increase the protection of museum exhibits, minimize the damage of light radiation to cultural relics, and protect museum exhibits well, which has become a challenge for museum lighting design. important subject.


Museum lighting can be divided into architectural lighting (including outdoor landscape parts), indoor lighting (including indoor public parts, indoor landscape parts and exhibition lighting). First of all, let's take a look at several major scene applications of museum lighting.

Several scene applications of museum lighting


Flat Exhibit Lighting


For exhibitions such as flat paintings and small sculptures of general size, when designing museum lighting, only a single track light can be used for illumination. Depending on the architectural space and the size of the exhibits, choose track lights with different angles and powers. The installation of lighting fixtures for flat exhibits should choose an appropriate location and lighting angle. The ideal lighting angle is 30° from the vertical direction, which can avoid strong reflection glare and prevent the light from casting the viewer's shadow on the exhibits.


General Facade Exhibit Lighting


The general facade exhibits of the museum, such as sculptures, Buddha statues and other exhibits, are illuminated from different directions from front to back, and output different illuminance by dimming, which enhances the three-dimensional sense of the facade exhibits and makes the surface texture more obvious. Among them, the main light should be irradiated from the left or right side of the facade of the exhibits as the main observation direction, and the auxiliary light and backlight of lower brightness should be supplemented from the other side of the front and the back respectively to reduce the light and dark contrast of the exhibits to an appropriate value. At the same time, it can show the texture behind it, so as to achieve the best three-dimensional effect of the exhibits and fully reflect the carving texture of the surface.


Large-scale facade exhibit lighting


The lighting of the large-scale facade exhibits of the museum should highlight the morphological characteristics of the exhibits, and the light distribution on the surface of the exhibits should form a well-proportioned effect of light and dark. Therefore, in the lighting design of museums and art galleries, it is necessary to use multiple lamps to illuminate from above on both sides. However, care should be taken to avoid direct glare to the audience.


Low Flat Showcase Lighting


The lighting of the museum's low-level showcases can be directly illuminated by the lights outside the cabinets, but attention should be paid to choosing the correct lighting position, such as placing the lights directly above the low-level showcases. Avoid the reflective area of the glass seen by the human eye, and choose a track light with a smaller angle.


Independent showcase lighting


The independent display cabinets of museums and art galleries with transparent glass on the top can also be illuminated with lights outside the cabinet. In addition to paying attention to the lighting position to avoid glare to the human eye, care should also be taken to avoid secondary reflection glare with surrounding objects. Small angle track light.
