-
Color rendering index (CRI) measures the ability of a light source to accurately display colors, which is vital in art lighting. Lights with a CRI of 90 or more provide the most accurate color quality.
High-CRI fixtures that can direct light as needed are generally the most suited to gallery lighting where installations change, allowing lights to adapt to new exhibits and displays. This includes:
- Track lighting: Track systems allow lights to be moved and positioned as gallery installations evolve
- Monopoint lights: Monopoints offer the same wide rotation of track lights without an extensive track system
- Sign lighting: Sign lights can be ideal for lighting wall art, both indoors and outdoors
- Recessed lights: Pulldown and adjustable recessed lighting can direct light as needed with a more seamless appearance. Recessed multiples can be ideal for galleries to light several displays with one fixture
LED lights offer efficiency, longevity and superior color rendering. They emit minimal heat, reducing the risk of damage to delicate artworks, and can be finely tuned to showcase art with optimal lighting conditions. LED lighting also reduces costs by requiring less maintenance.
