Striving to be a model of sustainability, the museum has used GE’s Infusion LED module instead of the traditional 50-watt halogen MR16 lamps, which have saved the Woodson approximately 30 watts of energy per fixture.
Providing the artworks a crisp white look, the Infusion LED modules also claims to lower the cooling load of its HVAC system, contributing to both direct and indirect energy savings. Additionally, Infusion modules’ twist-fit installation combined with a common base design reduces the Woodson’s operational costs.
Available in a wide range of lumen packages to meet various lighting needs, the Infusion LED lighting maintains a consistent colour quality from module to module.
The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum was founded four decades ago by three sisters and families who dreamed of honouring their mother and her collections. Designed as an art-in-nature-focused museum, the museum has been certified “Travel Green” by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism.
