Abstract

Museums, buildings and heritage sites need artificial light at night time in darker places. At many museums, old lighting is used to illuminate the central gallery section or paintings as well. There are old lighting, including Metal Halide, Incandescent Lamp, Sodium Vapor, CFL, etc., that consume more electricity and produce heat in the indoor environment, causing damage to the artwork, walls, and paintings. No standard guidelines or methodologies have been adopted by our country for lighting at the museums and archeological sites to maintain an elegant look during the day-night time. It is intended to expand in this arena due to a lack of knowledge in the field of lighting at museums as well as at heritage sites. This paper discusses the correlation of lumen and temperature on different materials by using an LED lighting module with fiber optic cable. ANOVA method was used to correlate the dependent parameters like lumen and temperature concerning a change in distance and time on a material. We have used a lighting module that helps to prevent damage to the objects and emits negligible heat in the environment so that visitors can easily visualize the objects with proper lux level.
