Simple Lighting Company Responds to Mona Lisa Unveil

The article, Mona Lisa’s Newest Secret: Looking Lovely Under LED Lights, published 4th June in businessweek.com, reveals that journalists at The Louvre were offered the opportunity to see the first glimpse of the famous portrait illuminated by new LED technology. It comes as part of a multi-year contract with Toshiba Lighting and Technology, which began fitting museums around the world with LED lights in 2010.

Over the centuries, layers of varnish have been added to the painting to preserve it, however this has led to yellowing of the skin. Vincent Delieuvin, Curator of the Louvre’s 16th-Century Italian Paintings Department explained that “Thanks to new lighting, we now have a better idea of the painting hidden behind the varnish.”

The news comes as incandescent bulbs around the world are being phased out. Having been heavily involved within the LED industry for a number of years, the team at Simple Lighting have witnessed a significant growth in the industry, as well as a growing diversity in the range of applications of light emitting diodes. As such, the latest news was of great interest to the team and a representative from the firm shares their thoughts on the matter.

“This news simply serves to prove the restorative qualities of LEDs. Those looking for wall or picture lights would be well advised to opt for LEDs over typical incandescent bulbs to protect their paintings. They are also safer in general, being less likely to break, and running cool, eliminating the risk of burnt fingers.

“Those looking for family friendly, high quality and affordable lights can browse through our collection which offers something for all rooms.”
