n every successful museum, proper lighting is a crucial element of effective exhibition design. Lighting

I enhances the presentation—maximizing the viewer’s experience of a work of art. SYLVANIA lighting
solutions can help you achieve your aesthetic goals while delivering high performance and dramatic
energy savings.

Understanding the importance of balancing visual pleasure for the visitor and preservation of artwork from
overexposure to light, we have developed a range of lighting solutions specifically designed for museum
lighting applications. Especially important for museum lighting is the need to control light sources with the
use of dimmers, timers and occupancy sensors.

This guide was created to help you take advantage of the variety of SYLVANIA lighting solutions available
to you. When lighting a museum, here are the key areas to consider: Color Excellence, Energy Savings,
Long Life/Maintenance Cost Savings, ECOLOGIC® Compatibility and Safety. Discover how SYLVANIA
lighting solutions can help your museum enjoy The Fine Art of Lighting.

Energy Saving SYLVANIA TRU-COLOR™

SYLVANIA’s lighting solutions provide
opportunities for you to significantly reduce your
power consumption. How significant? For your
museum where lights may be on 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, the percentage of electricity
used for lighting can be as high as 50 percent!
SYLVANIA TRU-COLOR™ lamps provide high
color rendering properties (80-100CRI) and
stable, reliable color over the life of the lamps.
Well-lit rooms, corridors, lobbies, and exhibit
areas give everything in your museum a brighter,
more natural and appealing look.
