LEADING PEOPLE THROUGH THE SCENARIO
The interplay between light and shadow, can create high contrast lighting scenarios to affect the ambience. This game
of contrast is directly connected to the requirements of each individual artwork and will usually undergo many attempts
to perfect. The MOTOLUX, hand-held user friendly remote controlled dimming feature facilitates this application, as
gallery teams easily adjust the light intensity for each artwork by selecting one light fixture or by creating groups of
light fixtures and controlling them collectively.
The mix of high and low light intensity is a great technique to enhance the texture and shape of an artwork. However,
careful attention must be paid to the colour temperature of the light as it dims, and the light sensitivity of the artwork
or object. MOTOLUX’s Dim2Warm™ feature delivers tuneable light that warms as it dims maintaining its high colour
rendering index and colour consistency for smooth, precise dimming on highly sensitive artworks that require reduced
LUX levels for the sake of their preservation. Furthermore, the LED lamp source in MOTOLUX fixtures does not create
UV or IR exposures, so is ideal for the art gallery environment.
