HCOC Lighting Project

New lights and fixtures were installed in the museum. The lights were installed in the various rooms as identified from a museum lighting redesign planned in 2019. All the lights and fixtures installed are LED lights, with a number of them having dimming capability and motion sensors. Additional UV window film was added where needed in the museum to address the natural light coming into the building. A black-out curtain was also installed to block all-natural light from entering the museum when the museum is closed. One of the biggest challenges a museum faces is preservation vs. access; trying to preserve artifacts and history for the future while at the same time allowing visitors to interact with their history. This project helps the museum achieve a better balance.
