He has a lot of experience of working with Museums and galleries with mixed collections who have installed LED's in their galleries so would be able to advise see http://www.ldandt.co.uk/ for contact details. We found the dimmers on the lights for the lux levels fairly essential for light sensitive objects, although overall the LED's will be an improvement on the fluorescent lights. Hope you find the information you need.

Does anyone have information on the risk factors to mixed media collections for using them? UV is presumably very low but we are concerned about increased Lux and (for a time) seriously increased hours of illumination. They replace the old fluorescents.
