Recommended Illumination: Solux Lamps

To provide the best illumination currently available to view your fine art photograph collection we recommend using SoLux™ lamps.

SoLux is a patented low voltage light source that emits a beam very close to natural daylight. These bulbs provide optimal color rendering for the viewing fine art. Another critical quality is that these lamps have ultra-low ultraviolet and infrared radiation which will protect your archival photograghs.

Solux lamps are used at the National Gallery of Art and the Los Angeles County Museum Of Art to Light 70 Masterpieces by Van Gogh.

One source of 12 volt MR16 Solux lamps for viewing these works is soluxlamps.com . Lamps listed on this site that are below 50 watts use the standard low-voltage two pin base (GU5.3). These lamps typically are priced $4 to $6 per bulb and have a life of 3000 hours.
