LED lights with high color rendering (CRI ≥ 90) and neutral white light (approx. 4000 K) are ideal. Picture lights, wall lights or spotlights at a 30-45° angle ensure glare-free, uniform illumination without UV radiation.
The color of light can significantly influence the color perception of a work of art. A neutral white light (approx. 4000 Kelvin) is particularly suitable for reproducing colors faithfully, while warm white light (2700-3000 Kelvin) creates a cozy atmosphere but can slightly change the color rendering.
The optimum light intensity depends on the type of artwork and the surroundings. For paintings and photographs, an illuminance of around 150 to 200 lux is recommended to emphasize details without outshining the work.
LEDs generate hardly any heat and no UV radiation, which makes them ideal for illuminating sensitive works of art. They are also energy-efficient and have a long service life
The luminaire should be positioned at an angle of around 30 to 45 degrees to the artwork to avoid glare and shadows. This arrangement ensures uniform illumination
Picture lights and wall lights with adjustable light cones are particularly suitable as they can direct light onto the artwork. The choice depends on the size of the picture and the room design.
