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’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!

ECOLOGIC® All lamps in the ECOLOGIC® family feature standard or higher performance and reduction or elimination of heavy metals. They are designed to pass the current Federal TCLP test for hazardous waste determination.

+ SYLVANIA SAFELINE® SYLVANIA SAFELINE® Products help protect the workplace and the environment — without sacrificing life or color performance. Improving light quality can also impact the safety of employees.

SYLVANIA TRU-COLOR™ 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.

Long Life/Maintenance Cost Savings With long lasting SYLVANIA lighting solutions, you’ll have fewer lamp and system replacements, which means operating and maintenance savings. Burned out lamps are unsightly and cause visitor and employee dissatisfaction.
