All-LED Art Gallery Designed by Envision Lighting Design

Lighting upgrade - Foundry Art Centre - St. Charles, MO

The existing lights at the Foundry Art Centre were cute but impractical. The gallery serves as a temporary home to changing exhibits, and the existing lights could not stand up to the wear and tear of being moved, removed, replaced, and changed on a regular basis. What's more, the low voltage rail system had a voltage drop problem, the MR16 lamps consumed 50 Watts each, and they were too hot to be aimed/focused while the lights were on.

The new installation provides a practical working solution, a quiet ceiling that doesn't distract attention from the art, and energy savings of over 60% when compared to the original installation. The new Alcyon LED cylinders from Philips Lightolier can accept accessories such as spread lenses, color filters, and louvers for glare control. The new solution is clean, efficient, and flexible, and it will serve the gallery well for years to come!
