> LIGHTING FOR MUSEUMS, GALLERIES, AND EXPERIENCE AREAS
Good lighting in museums makes art shine and immerses visitors in an experience. At CLS, we see lighting as an art, and we develop our fixtures with this in mind. The result? Fixtures used in museums worldwide. The high quality and innovative techniques are highly valued by lighting designers and architects in the museum sector.
