LED Lighting Upgrades at the Asian Art Museum
We helped fund a series of major lighting retrofits throughout the gallery spaces of the Asian Art Museum. This project significantly reduced lighting energy usage in the affected spaces while simultaneously providing better illumination for the artwork under display. Additionally, due to the longer lifetimes of the new lights, the maintenance costs over time are expected to be significantly reduced.
