The Uffizi are, as well, an architectural monument of world-renown and a museum with several thousand visitors per day. To ensure this historical monument is continuously maintained and appropriately modernised under the preservation order, a special architectural department has been set up as part of the Florentine Museum Administration. Its designers work closely with the lighting consultants at ERCO Italy. For the new lighting of the Niobe room, they opted for Parscan spotlights for low-voltage halogen lamps QT12 75W and Parscoop floodlights for halogen lamps QT-DE 300W, mounted on the circumferential cornice to show off to advantage the richly ornamented domes.
