Studio ZNA has managed to capture the essence of Asia in a dramatic lighting scheme for the refurbished Sir Joseph Hotung Gallery at the British Museum. At 155 metres, ‘Room 33’ is the Museum’s longest gallery and explores the cultures of China and South Asia gallery from 5,000 BC to the present-day.
As the exhibits rotate regularly, there was a need to create an adaptable lighting scheme which was also sympathetic to conservation restraints. To solve this, Light Projects supplied both StatFlux from its LEDBar range and XPO fibre optic lighting from RobLight.
StatFlux is a compact surface-mounted system with high CRI (≥ 90) in six colour temperatures and ranging between 1800K and 4000K. Available in five different profiles, it is specially designed for wash lighting in display cases making it the perfect choice.
Roblight’s fibre optics are a versatile choice for museums and display cases. Here, semi-recessed Nova adjustable down-lights were used along with a special version of the XPO conduit system designed in conjunction with ZNA.
