Lighting consultant Studio ZNA chose Precision Lighting’s Pico 1 Surface LED spotlights for Nature’s Library, the recently refurbished gallery at Manchester Museum, which showcases a huge collection of preserved animals, plants and fossils.
More than 200 of the minimal LED fittings now illuminate exhibits in the Victorian gallery’s double-sided vitrines.
The cases are like individual encyclopedias standing on the second floor ‘shelf’ that surrounds the building’s central well. The small but easily focused LED spotlights have transformed the displays with highlights, shadow and texture, adding visual interest and also giving the exhibits context.
