Why do museums need professional exhibition lighting?
The lighting market is increasingly segmented. In the early years, those who can put forward the concept of "commercial lighting" have been industry leaders.
In recent years, due to the segmentation of commercial formats, the intensification of market competition and other factors, lighting products have also embarked on the road of segmentation, such as focusing on office lighting products, and there are also segmented brands focusing on chain store lighting, catering lighting, hotel lighting and other different formats.
1. Aren't all the lights used in museums (outside the cabinet) track spotlights?
2. Why can't museums just use ordinary commercial track lights?
For such a problem, seeposh believes that it depends on what effect and what requirements should be made? It's not that it can't be used, but the difference between effect and application.
Just like cameras, there are more than a thousand card dummies, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of SLRs, which can take photos, but the photos taken are very different.
In the same way, there are also great differences in function and effect between the track lights of ordinary commercial lighting and professional exhibition. Let's talk about it today.
First, let's look at some pictures of the museum and feel the difference.
Should all museums be like this?
▲ soft, quiet and comfortable light spot
But in fact, there are many museums like this:
▲ the brightness is too high, the light spot is messy, the color temperature is mixed, and the projection angle is wrong
summary
The visual presentation of the museum is inseparable from many factors, such as space planning, exhibition display... Of course, there is also an important role: lighting! Once the lighting is wrong, no matter how precious the cultural relics are, it is difficult to appreciate the precious feeling. What are the characteristics of professional exhibition lighting fixtures that can help create an exhibition atmosphere?
In general, professional exhibition lighting track lights have the following differences from conventional commercial lighting track lights:
1. Difference of spot light type
2. Differences in light quality
3. Differences in dimming functions
4. Difference between light output change and light control adjustment
In other aspects, such as process quality, warranty life, etc., professional exhibition lamps naturally have higher requirements.
1. Difference of spot light type
Seeing the "tough" spots of hotel lighting and chain store lighting, many people may feel that the spots should have clear boundaries and strong cut-off.
However, the exhibition lighting is not always the case. Only when the light spot is soft and there is no too hard boundary cut-off line, can the exhibits be prominent and clean (especially plane paintings and exhibition boards).
In hotel lighting, the uniform scallop spots projected by the spotlights illuminate the wall, and the light type has also become a sense of order decoration.
▲ the light spot is neat and clean, showing the sense of spatial hierarchy and order
And what will this kind of light be like if it is used for museum lighting? Look at two real examples:
▲ the light spot is too hard and the boundary is obvious, which is slightly abrupt for exhibition lighting
2. Differences in light quality
Zhanchen lighting has different requirements for light and color quality from hotel lighting and commercial chain lighting. Its requirements for lighting will be higher, more accurate and more targeted.
Commercial chain lighting, because of the competitive relationship between stores and the bright ambient light of shopping malls, most of them require higher lumen values; Most of the exhibition lighting is in a dark environment, so the lighting efficiency of the lamps will not be too high, but the requirements for indication and consistency will be very high.
▲ in commercial stores, track lamps are installed intensively, and the efficiency of lamps is more than 80lm/w. In the case of high lumens, the visual effect of 3000K light color will be white, so the color difference problem will be "hidden".
In the light environment of museums, dark vision is more used (of course, there are also some art galleries and special exhibition halls of museums that will be very bright).
Firstly, due to the protection of cultural relics, and secondly, due to the creation of atmosphere, the lighting efficiency of lamps and lanterns is mostly 35-55lm/w. Designers and owners pay more attention to the consistency of light color and color rendering index.
▲ the preface hall of Marquis Yi Zeng of Hubei Provincial Museum, the illumination is 25-50 LX
▲ Nanjing Museum special exhibition, multi-point test in the prelude hall, good light color consistency
Another negative case is that the light and color are inconsistent. Does this visual effect look a little uncomfortable?
3. Differences in dimming functions
The exhibits of the museum vary greatly, and the levels of cultural relics are also different, so the required illumination values are different, which requires that the exhibition lamps must have a dimming function, and there are many ways of dimming. The most commonly used are single lamp dimming, in addition, there are loop control dimming, local tyrant Dali control and seeposh wireless system dimming.
▲ when ordinary track lights are used for exhibition, the illumination is not adjustable, which will lead to obvious overexposure points in vision
▲ the full series of museum lighting lamps developed by seeposh are equipped with dimming knobs as standard, which can realize the dimming control of exhibits, which is flexible and convenient
4. Difference between light output change and light control adjustment
In the exhibition of the museum, the forms of exhibits are diverse, such as jade ornaments as small as finger covers and sculptures as large as several floors high; There are also many temporary exhibitions and special exhibitions in the museum and Art Museum, which last from one month to half a year.
Every special exhibition needs to re light, which has high requirements for light output and control of lamps. In general, the commodity display in commercial space will not change too frequently, and the size difference of commodities will not be too large, so there are not so many requirements for lamp accessories and beam changes.
▲ most of the track lights in commercial stores do not need additional accessories (those with particularly high requirements will use cellular networks to reduce glare)
Museum lighting products, common optical accessories, have corresponding functions. For example, the anti glare of honeycomb mesh, the softening of light spot of cloth glass, and the folding of light-emitting surface of four leaves
For temporary exhibition, when the size of the exhibits is uncertain, the track spotlight with adjustable focal length can be used for a large purpose, and the size of the light spot can be scaled to meet the needs of the subject. Of course, with the progress of technology and the decline of cost, products with adjustable focal length are also used in commercial fields and boutique home decoration.
In addition to the above differences, professional museum exhibition lighting products have some differences from ordinary commercial lighting track lights.
For example, museum lighting products will be developed in a full range. A series of family products can cover the needs of 1.5-2 meters high in the museum space cabinet, to 8 meters or even more than 10 meters high in some particularly high exhibition halls. Commercial lighting products are generally developed in the form of single product explosion due to more spatial commonalities; In addition, the process requirements and quality requirements of products will also be more strictly controlled.
After reading these, I wonder if you have a certain understanding of the museum's professional exhibition Chen lighting?
