Hi, folks - a lighting question here. Lumens are looming large on my
horizons right now. Any of the recommendations I have read for exhibit
light levels have been expressed in either lux or footcandles, easily
convertible one to the other. I am now the proud owner of a fleet of Hobo
dataloggers which express light levels in lumens per square foot. While
they gave me plenty of ammunition for the choice of 50-watt incandescent
spots over 50-watt halogens for lighting sensitive paintings in a gallery,
I don't really know how to use the readings to make judgements where a
simple either-or choice does not exist. Can anyone give me guidance here?
Or point me to appropriate literature?
Thanks,
Anne
