>This message follows up on some postings from last week. I heard news on
the radio this morning that the Memorial Gallery, an art museum in
Rochester, is using a new bulb called 'Solis' (sic) that was developed by an
engineer. Apparently, the National Gallery is also using this same bulb for
the Van Gogh show on exhibition in Washington. As most curators prefer
controlled natural lighting, previously only incandescent and fluorescent
bulbs have been available.  A lighting consultant named Stephen Weintraub
has studied the variations of light and found the Solis bulb to be the best
available alternative to natural light.  It sounds like the light is not as
yellow as most incandescent bulbs and lasts a long time too.  Hurrah for
progress!
