[SML] Exhibit Lighting

[Bill Conner]

I'd be concerned by the angle especially near top in the initial install
you describe. You want to be as square on as possible, and the floor less
than 2' away from glass 6'+ above is mostly lighting the wall above the
window. I think a light box would be best but allow there are other options.

I'm a volunteer at a local historical museum and have just completed a
support frame for an large, recently refurbished stained-glass window that
was donated. Think old fashioned portable chalkboard structure. All well
and good, but...
Now that the window is about to placed in the museum the PTB wish to back
light window to reveal the detail in the glass.  The lighting in the room
is really not adequate to see this currently.  The overall size is 60" wide
by 55" tall and the bottom of the window sits 18" above the floor.  The
current idea is to place the unit about 24" in front of a blank wall.  Any
clever ideas about how we can light this item would be much appreciated.
I'm thinking some kind of LED wash unit placed on the floor with a wide,
diffuse spread is appropriate.  I've been away too long to know what is in
the market place that would suit.

This is likely to be somewhat temporary in nature. In future, I expect that
the window will be placed so it can be viewed from both sides and lit with
overhead ER fixtures with decent throw distance.

Many thanks in advance.
