The main aim of this study presented in this paper was to evaluate museum lighting sources causing color degradation on different materials. Painting and calligraphy paper were exposed to four types of white LED lamps with different correlated color temperatures (CCTs) and NU-fluorescent lamp. The experimental result of light sources measurement shows that a low CCT type LED characterized the lower blue wave band ratio and damage factor. The LED lamps result in lower degradation of materials than the NU-fluorescent lamp. It suggests that the LED lamp with lower CCT is appropriate for the museum lighting.
