Mankind has always taken light for granted. This is because light has always been there and it will continue to be there. Light is useful in every aspect of life. It would not be possible for people to see if there was no light. Light has therefore played a very important role in determining how human beings conduct their usual activities. A museum on the other hand is an institution that specializes in the collection of artifacts and other objects that are of historical, artistic, cultural and scientific importance. It then presents them to the public for viewing. Museums therefore need sufficient light in order for the visitors to be comfortable while viewing the exhibits. When a museum is being designed therefore, it should employ a team of experts who would ensure that there is sufficient lighting. Lighting in museums plays a very important role in determining the perception of visitors on the museum building and the artifacts found there. It is therefore important for the designer of museum lighting to come up with a successful lighting plan so that he can be able to successfully deal with any issues that may conflict with the lighting design of the museum. Most museum designers are mostly concerned with how they can come up with an illuminating artwork that would be effective in lighting the museum. Designers also face challenges while trying to address issue of visual comfort for those people who visit museums 1 . If designers cannot address the issue of providing the visitors visual comfort, they may end up handicapping the ability of the visitors to view the different exhibits present in museums. In order to make lighting more effective, most designers make use of halogen and incandescent lights which do not have damaging effects on the artworks that are found in museums. Museums also ensure that they do not keep their artworks displayed for long in order to minimize the effect of light on the artworks. The most effective forms of lighting in museums include artificial lighting and top lighting. Top lighting facilitates reflection in museums while artificial lighting facilitates the incorporation of artworks in the sections of the museum where natural light cannot reach. Top light is more effective because it allows for the incorporation of artificial and natural light while at the same time facilitating the elimination of shadow formation inside the museum. Top lighting is a very important to consider when illuminating museums. This is because it does not interfere with the viewing capability of visitors in museums. In this case, it is not possible for a person or any object to interfere with the direction of light thereby preventing the formation of shadows on the exhibits being viewed by visitors in museums. Reflections are also undesirable in while viewing artworks and other forms of exhibits. When light is made to come from the top, it does not interfere with the visual comfort of visitors. Top light is very easy to reflect to an object without interfering with the viewing capability of visitors thereby making it one of the most successful forms of lighting to use in museums. Top light is also advantageous in that it helps to utilize natural light and then r
