Marktech LED bulbs used in museum gallery
Marktech Optoelectronics
Solid-state PAR30 LED bulbs
Marktech Optoelectronics has announced that the Schenectady Museum and Suits-Bueche Planetarium has utilised the company's 12W LED bulbs in the museum's Brompton Gallery.
In efforts to improve its energy consumption and to enhance the appearance of exhibits in the gallery, the museum has installed 50 new 12W LED bulbs from Marktech LED Lighting.
The solid-state PAR30 LED bulbs were used to replace outdated incandescent track lighting that had been previously used to light this section of the museum.
The LED lighting will decrease the museum's energy consumption while reducing electric bills and lower the overall exhibit-room temperature.
In addition to cost savings, LEDs offer other important benefits to the Museum, including: improved artefact care: no ultraviolet rays and very little heat; and improved visitor comfort.
LEDs are also full spectrum, which means they produce a more natural light then the yellow light offered by most incandescent lights.
A preliminary estimate of payback to the museum based on usage is under two years.
