Su Xianzhong Art Museum Lighting

Application Category: Art Gallery

Location: Quanzhou, China

Su Xianzhong is the fourth-generation inheritor of Dehua Yunyu Porcelain Studio, a legacy passed down since the late Qing Dynasty. While upholding family traditions, he has pioneered innovations and independently created many groundbreaking works, becoming a shining pearl with unique brilliance in the Dehua ceramic art world.

Daylight or natural light is the ideal light source for displaying artworks. However, in indoor environments where sunlight is difficult to harness, a suitable lighting system must be used to help showcase the works. Commonly used tungsten filament lamps or quartz lamps, when focused on a single point for extended periods, not only cause significant damage to artworks but also consume large amounts of electricity, resulting in substantial resource waste. The Manjia Mei® Precision Lighting Control System adopts a unique geometric axial LED design combined with high-efficiency thermal conduction technology (Thermal Conductive Highway™), creating precise and concentrated beam angles. This reduces glare while significantly lowering energy consumption.

The gallery extensively uses Manjia Mei® LED 15W AR111 series reflector lamps paired with LOPT series white track luminaires for artwork display and auxiliary lighting in main corridors. The complementary beam angle designs of 8° and 24° most effectively provide effects close to natural light, helping viewers appreciate the works under more comfortable lighting. 45° AR111 reflector lamps are applied in the reception area, logo background wall, and public lighting areas. The 4000K soft white light accurately restores the light color, making it suitable for close-range use with artworks.

For the display of wall-mounted works, Manjia Mei® LUCCA series white recessed luminaires equipped with LED 8W PAR16 series reflector lamps were selected. The 24° beam angle warm white light successfully creates an exceptionally bright focal point.

Manjia Mei® LED 8W MR16 series reflector lamps paired with compact recessed white luminaires are applied to the ceiling of the gallery's tea area. The application of 4000K warm white light provides comfort without 'stealing' the spotlight from the artwork lighting.

After replacing with a new environmental protection lighting system, the 'Su Xianzhong Art Gallery' reduced electricity costs while making the works more aesthetically pleasing through the rendering of luminous efficacy.
