Ancient works of art and documents of the Joseon Dynasty are kept safe Acriche lighting fixtures without emission of ultraviolet and infrared rays

Lighting fixtures with Acriche, AC-driven solid state light of Seoul Semiconductor, have been installed for main interior lighting in all galleries of the first, second and first basement floors of the National Palace Museum of Korea. FS Korea Networks Co., Ltd. (www.delicia.kr) supplied DELICIA, an Acriche-based lighting brand to each of the National Palace Museum floors.

When compared to halogen lighting solutions, LED lighting can reduce power consumption by as much as 85% on average and produces no ultraviolet or infrared rays. Since the LED is a safe lighting source of high quality it was chosen to protect the precious works of art and documents of the Joseon Dynasty.

FS Korea Networks Co., Ltd. announced that it would install additional Acriche-based lighting fixtures in more galleries of the National Museum of Korea in the future. There are already successful installations in the bookstore and a souvenir shop in the Cultural Center located on the first floor of the National Museum of Korea.

As the world’s first AC-driven LED, the excellent quality of Acriche has a great influence on the global lighting market. Since utilization of LED lighting is increasing at a rapid rate all around the world the volume of orders of Acriche is on a sharp upswing. The volume of orders may exceed production soon without further expansion. An official of Seoul Semiconductor, Inc. was quoted as saying “As the consumption of Acriche increases not only in Korea but all around the world, many global companies are positioning themselves to ensure they can obtain enough Acriche product to meet their demands,” and he also expresses the company’s vision for Acriche, saying “Even though Acriche is already being used in specialized lighting systems for museums and art galleries we are rapidly making it a global brand to serve a large and varied General Purpose Illumination Market.”

The National Palace Museum of Korea, which is located inside Gyeongbokgung Palace is known as one of the greatest palaces in Korea and opened with full services in November 2007.
