First Thorn 'Graffiti' spotlights light Toulouse Museum
The first installation using the new Graffiti adjustable spotlight has been completed at the Augustins Museum in Toulouse.
The museum is one of the oldest in France, being set in a 14th century convent, and since 1793 has conserved a collection of paintings and sculptures from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
Thirty-five Graffiti M spotlights with 35W HIT lamps light the temporary exhibition area housing more than 150 works by the French artist Jacques Stella (1596-1657) while 100 Micropak battens, equipped with asymmetrical reflectors, are hidden at ground floor level.
Using flexible optics, the spotlights deliver stepless beam angle adjustments of between 10-35 degrees or 25-55 degrees. All that's needed is a quick turn of the rear assembly.
