“…Protecting the artwork from the damage caused by lighting is among the main factors to be considered in displaying the objects in museums. It means that the lighting design in museums should effectively affect the level of visibility in exhibitions and simultaneously protect the artworks (IESNA, 2000; Bhattacharjee and Pal, 2017). Museums and art galleries are responsible for collecting, analyzing, preserving and displaying (IESNA, 2000) the various artworks which often have different size, shape, texture and color (Bhattacharjee and Pal, 2017).…”

Purpose The inappropriate lighting methods can have irreversible effects on artworks available in museums and exhibitions. Several factors affect the choice of the lighting system in the museums. By surveying all possible elements, this paper aims to propose a sustainability-based solution, as it relates to the development of artwork conservation, visual perception and energy efficiency during operation and maintenance (O&M). Design/methodology/approach The paper elicits optimal solutions out of the method presented based on functions and expert opinion to improve lighting quality in existing museums. To study the optimization, the energy consumption and life cycle cost (LCC) in both the proposed lighting and the existing lighting system are compared using HoneyBee and LadyBug plugins in GrassHopper, as well as BLCC5 energy cost estimation software. Findings The results indicated a practical method to select the most suitable solution for museum lighting. By applying the proposed solutions obtained from the case study, a significant reduction in energy consumption and LCC were achieved. Besides, greenhouse gases were remarkably decreased. Practical implications Providing the proper lighting systems for each museum is the issue that is given special attention during the facilities management. The quality of the lighting, energy consumption and costs are analyzed by the simulation software. It is recommended that the validity considerations of the practice are examined. Originality/value The present study tried to present an optimal method to choose the best lighting system by the simultaneous utilization of theoretical and practical aspects. The functional model is also introduced for performing the most effective method to enhance the lighting techniques in the art museums.

“…The recommended illuminance levels for some applications, however, are much lower than this range, yet the color appearance of the illuminated objects is critically important. For example, the illuminance for museum artworks is commonly below 50 lx (Chen et al 2016;Huang et al 2017;Scuello et al 2004) and can be as low as 10 lx (Bhattacharjee and Pal 2017;Loe et al 1982).…”

Consideration of Light Level in Specifying Light Source Color Rendition

In lighting practice, light level is seldom considered when specifying light source color rendition. Many past studies found that sources that can enhance color saturation within a certain range, especially for red colors, were preferred, but the experiments were typically carried out with an illuminance between 200 and 500 lx and the illuminance was seldom varied in individual studies. This article reports a psychophysical study that was designed to test whether illuminance affected color preference. Four nearly metameric stimuli with a correlated color temperature (CCT) around 3000 K and a D uv of −0.005 were produced to illuminate an oil painting at two illuminance levels (that is, 20 and 500 lx). These four stimuli were carefully designed to cover a range of relative gamut (that is, IES R g) from 100 to 125 and enhance the saturation of red and green colors (that is, R cs,h1 and R cs,h8). Observers compared pairs of light stimuli at a same illuminance level in a sequential mode and selected the one under which he or she preferred the color appearance of the painting. It was found that the R g of the most preferred stimulus decreased as the illuminance increased. The stimulus with an R g ≈ 117 was the most preferred at 20 lx, whereas the one with an R g ≈ 100 was the most preferred at 500 lx. The interaction between illuminance and saturation enhancement caused by the stimuli with larger gamut areas revealed the importance of considering illuminance when specifying light source color rendition, especially when an application requires a low light level and good color rendition.
