The National Portrait Gallery uses 14W Optec LED spotlights fitted with Spherolit lenses with different characteristics.
The white LED light is free of IR and UV components, making it an excellent choice for optimum exhibit conservation – ensuring that ERCO LED spotlights will continue to light up the National Portrait Gallery for many years to come.
