Comprehensive Functionality, Effectively Avoiding Pitfalls in Lighting Equipment Selection
The types of lighting fixtures include focusing spotlights, wall washers, and framing projectors, which can meet the complex and variable needs of exhibition lighting and effectively avoid the pitfalls of insufficient lighting planning during project planning.
Focusing Spotlight: Key lighting spotlights are used to highlight the critical parts or details of cultural relics and art exhibits, such as sculpture contours or painting strokes, creating a strong contrast effect that attracts the audience's attention. Available in 3W and 6W power options, they meet the lighting needs at different heights in low spaces. The smallest beam angle of 6° allows for adjusting focus to meet the display needs of artifacts of different sizes.
Wall Washer: Track wall washers evenly project light onto walls, creating a soft and continuous lighting effect. Wall washers are particularly suitable for the display of vertical panels or paintings, fully showcasing and enhancing the visual impact and artistic atmosphere of the works. Track wall washers, with a 9W power rating, are suitable for conventional showcase spaces and low spaces outside the cabinet.
Framing Projector: Framing projectors, such as spotlights with pattern gobo or beam shapers, can create light and shadow effects with specific shapes or patterns, adding extra visual elements to artworks. Framing projectors, with a 9W power rating, are suitable for conventional showcase spaces and low spaces outside the cabinet.
At the "Guangdong Provincial Museum – The Exhibition of Ancient Syrian Cultural Relics," focusing spotlights and wall washers were applied. Wall washers mainly provide basic lighting for the overall showcase or evenly illuminate the background panels; appropriate basic lighting effectively reduces visual fatigue caused by high contrast. Then, for artifacts of different sizes, focusing spotlights are used to achieve precise lighting and emphasize highlights.
In the "Ninety Years of Spring and Autumn Harvest – Treasures of the Nanjing Museum" exhibition, focusing spotlights were used at the top of independent showcases, with multiple groups of fixtures mixed, allowing the artifacts to be better displayed. On the wall cabinets, both focusing spotlights and wall washers were selected to achieve a combination of basic and key lighting.

Flexible Application, Fully Unleashing Exhibition Inspiration
Products, whether in terms of installation methods, angle adjustment, dimming control, or the flexible variation in types and quantities of fixtures, can fully unleash the creativity of exhibitors.
Fixture Installation Methods: There are three installation methods – track mounting, recessed mounting, and surface mounting – which can meet different installation needs to the greatest extent. They can be used both inside the showcase and in low spaces outside the cabinet.
Fixture Angle Adjustment: Track spotlights can achieve a vertical rotation of 90° and a horizontal rotation of 360°, enabling all-around lighting within the space. This perfectly solves the limitation of adjustment for recessed spotlights, greatly enhancing the flexibility of exhibition layout.
Dimming Control Methods: Various efficient control methods such as individual light dimming, 0-10V/DALI dimming, triac dimming, single-circuit dimming control, and three-circuit dimming control are available. Traditional dimming combined with precise system adjustments allows for lighting scene settings and display effects to be freely manipulated.
At the exhibition showcase of the "Gilded Silver Cloud-Patterned Bronze Rhinoceros Zun" in the National Museum of China, focusing spotlights were used at the top. By configuring customized color temperature chips combined with group control technology, rhythmic changes in different color temperatures and brightness were achieved, creating a scene where viewers can imagine a rhinoceros running freely on the grasslands at different times.
Flexible Variation in Fixture Types and Quantities: Traditional showcase lighting generally uses recessed spotlights. Once customized, due to the fixed placement of each light, any needed changes require the replacement of the drilled top panel or the remaking of the showcase, which is not effectively adaptable to the museum's flexible and varied exhibition needs.
Track spotlights, however, can be flexibly varied in both fixture types and quantities, better meeting the needs of different scenes and cultural artifacts. They more fully satisfy the exhibitors' ability to quickly adjust according to different exhibition themes, unleashing their creative inspiration.
Track spotlights use a convenient and practical three-circuit control combined with individual light dimming. This is done by setting and selecting the circuit configuration on the left side of the fixture.
Conclusion:
As the requirements for art exhibitions continue to rise, lighting equipment plays an important role in exhibitions and has become an indispensable part of them.
