From 11 July, visitors to the Veneranda Pinacoteca Ambrosiana will see the works in the same light with which the artists who created them saw them.
The complex operations of assembling the Luum® “human friendly” light sources, latest generation LEDs, in the display cases that preserve the precious pages of Leonardo’s Codex Atlanticus at the Veneranda Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan.
Our staff follows every phase of installation and verification of the lighting system, designed by the lighting designer Alessandro Colombini.
This important collaboration with the art world confirms Luum’s commitment to spreading the culture of clean “human friendly” light and its capacity for continuous innovation, creating perfect solutions to improve the quality of life with light sources and accompany in the most comfortable way the different moments of everyday life, from relaxation, to work, from cultural enjoyment, to conviviality and food.
The first phase of the project, conceived by the architect and lighting designer Alessandro Colombini and developed by Luum, restores the original splendor to the works and drawings of Leonardo da Vinci’s Codex Atlanticus, allowing you to admire the sharpness of the details and perceive the real brilliance of the colors, but the much wider intervention involves the lighting requalification of the entire Museum, according to a new aesthetic standard of “human friendly” lighting,
The luum® LED sources were used to illuminate the new display cases – also specially made by Luum – which preserve the preciousness of the pages of the Codex Atlanticus, the largest and most amazing corpus of writings and drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, preserved since 1637 in the Veneranda Biblioteca Ambrosiana and now exhibited in the Sala Federiciana.
The existing system is supplanted by 105 luum® LED sources (out of a total of 185 planned at the end of the project), i.e. very high quality and latest generation light sources, developed in collaboration with the major players in the world production in the sector, manufactured and offered by Luum.
Luum® allows a use of very high impact and maximum precision: it represents a new generation of “human friendly” LED light which, in addition to energy saving, reproduces light with the spectrum closest to that of natural light, a light that is aware of its influence on man’s metabolism and psychophysical well-being.
The entire intervention, in addition to enhancing the collection of works of art, was conceived with a view to saving energy, reducing operating costs related to maintenance and replacement of lighting luminares.
