Replacing tungsten floods in a gallery
Now that the age of tungsten lighting is coming to an end, what should we use to replace our gallery flood lights?
Granted, these floods use a LOT of energy and anything to reduce the utility bill sounds like a great idea. That said, simply screwing an energy efficient bulb does not work. For one thing, those bulbs do not fit the fixtures, and because they are florescent, UV light is increased manifold times.
What is a poor curator to do? Do we consider switching to halogen bulbs? Or energy saving bulbs and UV filters? Or ....
