TB 36 LED Lighting in Museums and Art Galleries

Description:
Light-emitting diode (LED) lamps are in the process of replacing the incandescent and fluorescent lamps that have been used by museums and art galleries for decades, but the transition is not simple. LED lamps vary widely in the quality of light they provide, and concerns have been raised about elevated rates of damage. The majority of LED lamps on the market do not produce light of adequate quality—they do not match the quality of quartz halogen lamps or museum grade fluorescent lamps. Some LED lamps can cause up to double the rate of fading of a UV-filtered quartz halogen lamp. Fortunately, there are LED lamps available that produce high-quality light, and more are becoming available. These LED lamps cause less damage, not more, than the best lamps of the past (and much less than daylight). This Bulletin provides a definition of “good” and “excellent” LED lamps, explains the definitions, reviews the evidence on damage by all forms of lighting, and provides a step-by-step guide to LED lamp selection for both small and large institutions.
