Art Gallery & Museum Lighting Solutions
The Intersection of Conservation and Aesthetics
At Lumicrest, we understand that gallery lighting is a precision science. It requires a delicate balance between revealing the true depth of an artist’s work and ensuring the long-term preservation of the medium. Our museum-grade LED systems are engineered to provide the highest color fidelity while maintaining the strict spectral standards required by world-class institutions.
Why Both Artists and Institutions Choose Lumicrest
- 95+ CRI Fidelity: Our High CRI museum-grade lighting products utilize advanced phosphors to achieve a Colour Rendering Index of 95 and higher, ensuring that “what the artist saw” is exactly what the viewer sees.
- Zero UV / Minimal IR: We eliminate the primary causes of light-induced damage. Our LEDs emit no ultraviolet and minimal IR radiation, protecting sensitive oil paintings, textiles, and artifacts from fading and heat degradation.
- Solari™ Full Spectrum Sun-like Technology: By mimicking the natural solar spectrum and minimizing the “blue spike”, our linear lighting and Solari Easel art studio lighting bridges the gap between artificial light and daylight, offering a more natural, accurate and emotionally resonant viewing experience.
Trusted by Canada’s Leading Cultural Institutions
We are proud to have provided lighting solutions and technical expertise for some of the most prestigious creative spaces in the country:
