LIGHTING PLAN

• Lighting Tasks include: • circulating through the gallery• Point of sale• Task areas (framing)• Generally task lights are used• Track lighting on the outside allows for better

display• Central lighting lights up the space• Track lights are usually halogen (prevent

artwork from photo degradation)

MR16 halogen flexible wall Lights

CONNECTIONS

• Public areas should be connected• Administrative and staff spaces should be completely separate with a different entrance• Galleries, when closed and locked, should be silent, dark, and impenetrable

FLOW

• Flow affects lighting

• Flexible track lighting allows for changing displays and shows

• Spot lighting on tighter flowing spaces is easier to maneuver

• Moveable walls allow for changing flows and demand more flexible lighting

VIEWING LEVELS & ANGLES

• Eye level changes affect how people view things

• Seating options in galleries

• Art work displayed in multiple levels

• Lights must be angled 30 degrees from straight down to eye level for a flat piece

• To have a properly lit 3-D object, lights between 30 and 45 degrees from horizontal and the same angle from vertical best mimics sunlight

TRACK LIGHTING

• Very adjustable• Glare-resistant• Available with filters• Remote-control option• Low-voltage• Spotlighting
