Abstract

Recent years the subject of colour quality of LED lighting in museum was extensively studied. It was found that different experimental results can be effectively described as Comfort Zone in terms of illuminance and colour temperature of the museum illuminations. Work of updating colour rendering index for LED lighting can also be used for museum lighting applications. Recent studies on museum lighting and some related work are reviewed in this paper. Important recommendations about how to achieve high colour quality museum lighting are also given.
