Hello Patrick:
We replaced the same bulbs you speak of with Soraa LEDs in our changing exhibition gallery last year. I am very pleased with the results. We could achieve the very low light levels we needed for watercolor paintings,
and the color quality is excellent. Combined with the savings on electricity and air conditioning, it was worth the initial investment. I have yet to replace one of those bulbs, about 15 months after they were initially installed (note: we are not open for
most of the winter months).
Good luck,
Jennifer Y. Madden

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Best LED museum lighting?
What kinds of LED lights have people found most appropriate (and, importantly, affordable) for their gallery lighting? Many of the ordinary commercial ones we’re looking at are too bright. We’ve read a little bit about Soraa and Phillips
PerfectBeam, but are unsure what would work best. We would mostly be replacing longneck 50-watt, PAR30, 34-degree floods. Any thoughts would be most welcome.
