We are building a new exhibit, and are planning to use
(mostly) NoUVIR fiber-optic for highlighting and Prolume LIA Modules (LEDs) for
general case lighting. Both firms are excellent to do business with, they are
extremely knowledgeable in museum needs, and are small enough to call and talk
to easily. They both have good turn around for orders. Both products give off no
ultra-violet or infrared, and in the case of the fiber the heat source can be
isolated from the cases. The heat given off by the LEDs is negligible. We will
use track lighting (incandescent and halogen) only for lighting walkways,
labels, and graphics.
We
have lit some very difficult displays using these products.

Knowing, of course, most of what the literature recommends and what
the "experts" say, thought I'd see if I could get real live museum people to
tell me the particulars on the lights used in your facility. We're
building a new museum and everyone has an opinion. What is the
reality? Brands, sizes, ones you've had good experience with, ones you
would never have in a new museum, etc. Although this not a fun
question like "what type of music do you listen to when packing to
move...?" It is one that could be very practical for a real world
situation. Respond on list or off, doesn't matter to me.
Thanks. Darrell
