LED lighting suffers bad press in Van Gogh paint-degradation study

Museums and art galleries are often touted as excellent applications for high-quality LED lighting, provided that the necessary targets for characteristics such as color rendering can be met.

Among the benefits provided by LED lighting, alongside energy savings, is the lack of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation. However, many different materials are used in works of art, and each can respond differently when exposed to different wavelengths of light.
