The USA-specific ERCO 2-circuit tracks are mounted flush with the ceiling and carry a large number of Quinta spotlights for low-voltage halogen lamps. This allows quick arrangement of virtually any lighting situation desired. The results are not so much to be measured by museum standards as by the wish to obtain a stimulating, dramatic lighting for the artefacts - which after all are to achieve the highest possible bids.
A narrow aperture running around the ceiling adds a pleasant, diffuse daylight component to the otherwise purely spotlight-based lighting.
