Light for museums and cultural institutions

Beleuchtung in Museen und Kultureinrichtungen gehört zu den anspruchsvollsten Aufgaben für Lichtplaner. Die Inszenierung und der Schutz der ausgestellten Werke, Colour rendering index, Atmosphäre von Raum und Architektur sowie die Aufenthaltsqualität müssen perfekt zusammenspielen, damit Kunstwerke ihre volle Kraft entfalten können.

Light for museums means precision. Each work of art creates its own world of colours, details and materials. InstaLighting's lighting tools bring out these qualities and support the high-quality realisation of curatorial concepts.

Als deutscher LED-Beleuchtungshersteller entwickelt InstaLighting professionelle Lichtlösungen für Museen, Galerien und Ausstellungen. Präzise Objektbeleuchtung, hochwertige LED-Technologie und eine exzellente Colour rendering index ermöglichen eine wirkungsvolle und zugleich konservatorisch sensible Präsentation von Kunstwerken. Durch individuelle Lichtplanung und intelligente Beleuchtungskonzepte lassen sich Exponate gezielt inszenieren und gleichzeitig Lichtbelastung sowie Energieverbrauch kontrollieren.

Highest light quality and colour fastness with Stratas

Natural light is perceived by the human eye as perfect light for the colour rendering index, as sunlight covers all wavelengths between 380 and 700 nanometres (nm) without any gaps. The colour rendering index CRI indicates how evenly an artificial light source renders the colour spectrum and how similar it is to natural light. The best CRI value is 100, which corresponds to natural sunlight.

Strata's spotlights achieve a uniform colour rendering index (CRI) of 98

Flexibility for changing exhibition concepts

Changing exhibitions demand maximum flexibility from the lighting tools used - oil paintings require different light than sculptures or works on paper. However, the curatorial and design concept of an exhibition also depends on the design and staging of light: should contrasts be created, should rooms shine with uniform brightness or should certain objects be emphasised to draw the attention of visitors? InstaLighting specialises in the development of modular lighting concepts. Thanks to a wide range of accessories, interchangeable optics and flexible, digital control, the light can be customised to meet any requirement.

Staging art - Draw contours and emphasise sections

Contour spotlights make objects stand out from the exhibition space and set them apart from their surroundings. This enables the creation of targeted stagings and dramatic moments, allowing visitors to form a new relationship with a work—one that merges with the spatial experience to create a holistic encounter.

Purposeful exhibition lighting lays the foundation for precise object illumination, effectively showcasing individual works within the museum. Carefully coordinated and well-planned lighting allows for the deliberate shaping of atmosphere, perception, and spatial impact. A holistic lighting concept combines functional requirements with the effective presentation of the exhibits.

Sculpture lenses
For precise illumination of portrait and landscape format objects.

Zoom optics (14°-48°)
Infinitely variable adjustment of the beam angle without having to replace the luminaire.

Surface design with wallwasher
Uniform illumination
for wall texts or large-scale wall designs.

Vertical lighting and customised spotlighting

Objekte unterschiedlicher Größe in dynamischen Anordnungen, unterschiedlicher Farbgebung, Beschaffenheit oder Oberfläche müssen in das jeweils richtige Licht gesetzt werden. Unterschiedlichste Zielsetzungen bei der Anstrahlung von Kunstwerken lassen sich mit einer großen Auswahl an wechselbaren Optiken und der Anpassbarkeit von Helligkeit und Lichtfarbe erreichen. Somit wird eine optimale Objektbeleuchtung sichergestellt.
