lighting for art galleries

COLOUR TEMPERATURE
Most art galleries will have natural daylight flowing into the space, so
it is inevitable that there will be a mix of natural daylight and artificial
lighting in the art gallery. As the natural light will change during the
course of the day and season, it is important that their rays should
blend well.
Since the colour rendering in natural daylight is unique and visually
preferable, it makes sense to integrate the colour temperature of the
artificial light in order to avoid any emotional disconnect from the piece
when the collector installs the artwork into its new environment.
To coordinate the colour temperature of the
light, MOTOLUX has developed the tuneable
white feature which enables the user to tune
the whiteness of the light from a very warm
white to a much cooler white.
MOTOLUX enables the user to create the
lighting scenarios desired and pre- program
the colour temperature for different times of
day.
By
changing
the
colour
temperature,
different colours and effects from the same
artwork can be observed.
MOTOLUX’s Tuneable White™ feature enables
an artist to express how they intend their
artwork to be perceived. MOTOLUX offers
two spectrums of white colour temperature,
with the CCT tuning from 2700K to 6000K or
from 1600K to 4000K.
The pre-selected CCT from either range will
remain constant during dimming due to the
advanced built-in LaserDim™ driver.
