Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are widely used to reduce energy consumption and ease global warming. In addition, the UV-free and non-heat producing characteristics of LEDs are compatible with the conservation concepts of museums. Moreover, low power consumption and long life of LEDs can reduce lighting-related expenditures. The aims of this article are to discuss and evaluate proper light source use in museum displays to avoid damage to cultural properties from blue light hazard of LEDs and to review some recent cases of LED applications in museums around the world.
