090 TECHNOLOGY / MUSEUM CASE STUDY ORGANIC ARTS Zumtobel has illuminated a Zaha Hadid retrospective in the Mobile Art Pavilion she created for Chanel.
The end of April saw the opening of a new arts venue in front of the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris. The Mobile Art Pavilion was originally designed by renowned architect Zaha Hadid. Until autumn, the Mobile Art Pavilion showcases the exhibition ‘Zaha Hadid, une architecture’. For this exhibition, Zumtobel has designed and provided a lighting solution to match the building’s organic look: Arcos LED spotlights, which were especially developed for art applications, and minimalist LED spots of the multi-functional Supersystem lighting system have been installed. “Providing the interior lighting solution for such a unique object as the Mobile Art Pavilion was a special opportunity for us to show that light as an accentuating factor is able to unfold tremendous creative power,” explains Zumtobel Project Manager Burkhard Ehnes. Visitors strolling through the exhibition rooms are guided by precisely
focused light attracting their attention and unleashing visible dramaturgic and emotional aspects that are conveyed to architecture, exhibits and visitors. This atmospheric framework is made possible by contemporary features provided by LED technology. The colour temperature of the DALI-controllable Arcos LED spotlights installed by Zumtobel can be continuously adjusted within a range between 2700K and 6500K. This ensures differentiated accent lighting supported by additionally installed Supersystem LED spots. Providing subtle illumination focussed on individual points, the lighting concept emphasises the special qualities of the Mobile Art Pavilion’s architectural structure. This is further enhanced by the luminaires installed: a network of guiding curves is attached to the pavilion’s internal ceiling and floor in specific points.

PURSUIT OF LIBERTY Cree LEDs have slashed eneregy consumption at New Jersey’s Liberty Science Center.
The Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, NJ, USA has long had a commitment to embrace environmentally responsible initiatives, with past projects including a 6,000 square-foot green roof, a solar panel system and recycling programs. The most recent green initiative has seen a total revamp of the facility’s interior replacing traditional lighting with energy-efficient LED.
Among the lights replaced were 1,500 energy-wasting 90 watt incandescent PAR38 bulbs. In their place are 1,500 Cree LRP-38
LED spotlights, specifically designed for displays in museum environments. Many of the exhibits are now lit with 12 watt LRP-38 LED lights, which consume significantly less energy while delivering beautiful light. The LRP-38 is also designed to last 50,000 hours and produces little heat, saving on air conditioning needs and related costs, and emits virtually no ultraviolet rays, which can help protect priceless objects featured in the museum.
The Liberty Science Center also replaced 250 60 watt incandescent bulbs with 11
watt LED lights. Additionally, a total of 30 50 watt MR16 incandescent lights were replaced with 5.5 watt LED lights. In all, officials at the science centre estimate that the museum will see its energy consumption reduced by nearly 625,000 kilowatt-hours each year. When factoring in maintenance savings because of the long life of the LED lights, the science centre officials say they’ll save nearly $120,000 per year in energy and maintenance costs.
