Lighting of Exhibitions in Museums with Limited Power Supply Capabilities

Abstract

Using an example of lighting of art objects in museums with limited power supply, methods of solving problems of meeting the requirements to museum lighting and forming of a lighting environment inherent to the initial function of a building (palace, temple) are demonstrated. The proposed methods are based on utilisation of a self-contained power supply and original luminaires of minimal size with increased functionality and properties specific for lighting of different exhibitions. Requirements to such luminaires are formulated and principles of their arrangement and operation are demonstrated.
