Think about lighting as more than installing a few fixtures to illuminate an area or a specific artwork, and a whole new dimension of wall light innovation becomes feasible.

It offers more than only illuminating functions

For many, the only intersection is when artificial light illuminates exhibited objects in galleries, residences and other spaces. Although illumination is a very important aspect, you can utilize it for other artistic reasons as well.

One should, for instance, look at it as a creative tool and use shadow effects to convert spaces where visitors experience total visual comfort as a result of the innovative lighting art. You may even consider converting the light fixtures and incorporating them into the exhibition planning.

Uplighting indoors is a cost-effective method of transforming a space and giving it a whole new look without adding decorations or expensive works to change the look and feel of it. Utilize the existing infrastructure and set up interesting shadow images on the walls.

To assist architects and installers to create more intersections, we briefly discuss a few interesting aspects.

Wall art lighting

This can be done in different ways.

• Usually, two-dimensional artworks only need picture lights fixed to their frames.
• Larger works are usually illuminated in ways to enhance the colors and textures for viewers to appreciate. According to experts, the glaring effect is minimized if the artificial light falls with an angle of 30-degrees on a painting.
• Indoor accents on artworks can be created by adding slight shadows on them. Due to these enhancements and planned indoor accents one literally see favorite and well-known pieces “in another light”.
• Apart from these intersections between, the type and size of lights affixed to the walls also contribute to the atmosphere in a space and should be chosen carefully to enhance the artwork in the room.

Art gallery and exhibition lighting

When art illumination is planned for spaces where there will be exposure to artificial light for long periods, it is recommended to use LED. They are safe and will not damage any object as they don’t generate much heat, and they produce very little, if any, UV light. Most Gallery lighting systems use LED lights.

Last word

Creative wall light innovations allow installers to enhance the intersection of art and lighting in any exhibition space – from small residential walls to large galleries and venues.
