Art Lightening System

Francesco Murano and Manuela Celi- Design Department
APPLICATION

The Art Lightening System is a device and an innovative method for lightening objects (especially art-works) and finds application in the illumination systems of:

  1. art exhibitions
  2. museums and works in general.
PROBLEM

The current lighting systems of art exhibitions need to be addressed manually because they cannot independently detect the presence, size and arrangement of the works placed on the walls.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY

The innovative device aims at optimizing the lighting of artworks, unlike all the other systems on the market, can automatically and autonomously ensure an optimal and constant lighting.

The Art Lightening System is activated whenever a work is placed, moved or removed from the exhibition space. The system detects the presence, nature, size, and position of the works by calculating the distance of the works from the light source and adjusting the luminous flux, intensity, opening angles and colour temperature of the lights to be directed at artworks and graphics. Once the works are illuminated, ALS analyzes the detected data again and adjusts the location, brightness and colour temperature, constantly aligning it with the lighting recommended by the Recommendations of the International Council of Museum.

BENEFITS

The system is designed to optimize and facilitate the lighting of artworks and unlike all other systems on the market can automatically and independently ensure the optimal and constant lighting.
