Museums

Museums provide a dual role; educating, informing and entertaining the public while aiding in the conservation and preservation of objects of social, historical and cultural importance.

Museum environments demand aesthetic and decorative control of lighting, versatility to create mood and ambience, and sensitivity to conservation requirements. Systems typically incorporate switching and dimming scenes which are activated at programmed times of day or based upon available daylight and may be adjusted to suit changing exhibitions and allow for special functions.

Key features within museum environments include:

• Architectural dimming and scene setting
• Central manual control
• Daylight linking
• Emergency lighting test and monitoring
• Hours run logging
• Individual circuit control
• Individual luminaire control
• Lamp failure detection
• Solar control of external lighting
• Time scheduling
