3 Types of Light for Artwork

Choosing the proper lightbulb to showcase your artwork is critical because the wrong kind of light can fade your picture. Here are three kinds of low-damage light bulbs that are commonly used to preserve and highlight the artwork.

1. LED light bulbs: LED bulbs are the safest and least-destructive lights for art. They are energy-efficient and come in a wide variety of colors. Additionally, they don’t emit any ultraviolet light, eliminating the risk of UV damage to your painting.

2. Halogen light bulbs: Halogen light is bright and cool, which makes it a popular choice for lighting artwork. However, the bulbs can become very hot. You can use halogen bulbs to highlight your artwork, but avoid positioning your light source too close to the art to avoid the risk of heat damage.

3. Incandescent light: Incandescent lights have a warm glow, similar to natural sunlight. This can be flattering for certain artworks but may interfere with the natural hues in the art. Incandescents are also very warm and the heat could damage your art, so be sure there is enough space and airflow between the bulb and the light.
