Artistic works need light to exist and be highlighted. In terms of preservation, it is known that the ultraviolet content of light constitutes a permanent aggression for the living matter of the pigments of paintings or textiles (pictorial material).

That is why flash photos are forbidden in museums. There is also a real danger in illuminating paintings with powerful traditional sources and in too close proximity.

Colorimetry also plays a role since each light has its own spectrum and can « turn » the colors of a painting or an object. Photometry and colorimetry studies carried out by specialized laboratories have made it possible to precisely determine the type of sources, their location, and the maximum number of lux endurable by the different types of materials of the works of art. From these came the Icom standards which limit, among other things, to 50 lux the maximum illuminance admissible in museums.
