LED lighting is one of those technologies that is still evolving so quickly that it may not make sense to make a major investment in it right now. This year’s bulbs are much better than last year’s bulbs, but next year’s promise to be even better, and much cheaper. At the point, I might buy a few to experiment with and wait for the technology change and price curves to flatten a little. ------------------------------------------- Guy Hermann, Principal Museum Insights 860-245-1323 http://www.museuminsights.com On Aug 6, 2012, at 3:45 AM, "Verlag Dr. C.

Have seen many things from 2010 and 2011 that point out some reservations with LEDs on the conservation front. But I know technology changes fast! Do any of you have current, real world examples, pro or con, to share? We are a nature/wilderness art museum and are as much about nature conservation as we are about art. So, having a green facility has real meaning for us… >> >> Thanks in advance for any input! >> >> Stacey Otte >> Executive Director >> The Wildling Museum >> 2928 San Marcos Ave. >> Los Olivos, CA 93441 >> 805-686-8216 (direct phone) >> http://www.wildlingmuseum.org >> Where art and nature meet >> >> SHOWING NOW: >> Carl Oscar Borg: An Artist's Journey >> May 23 - September 9 >> Sharks: Misunderstood Marvels, Photos by Richard Salas >> July 4 - Sept. 9 >> >> >> To unsubscribe from the MUSEUM-L list, click the following link: >> http://home.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa-HOME.exe?SUBED1=MUSEUM-L&A=1 >> > > > -- > Verlag Dr. C.
