At Frieze Masters in London, the importance of precision lighting cannot be overstated, RCL (Remote Controlled Lighting) by Luminii has excelled in providing gallery-grade spotlights for the 2023 show, their contribution to the exhibition’s success lies in their ability to elevate the art on display to its truest form.

RCL by Luminii is world renowned for its expertise in producing spotlights designed specifically for art galleries and exhibitions. Their commitment to high-quality lighting solutions has made them a preferred choice for curators and lighting designers at Frieze Masters since 2012. These gallery-grade spotlights offer several advantages that are crucial for the successful presentation of artworks.

We assisted Art Ancient and Daniel Crouch Rare Books in choosing the scheme for their chosen DRX2 and DRX1. These spotlights are designed to provide consistent and accurate colour rendering; maintaining the visual integrity of these rare antiquities and artworks is essential, as any alteration in colour can impact the viewer’s understanding and appreciation of the pieces themselves. In this case Art Ancient, amongst their usual array of truly unique antiquities, are displaying a wall of fine Paleolithic Hand Axes. These examples of prehistoric Human shaped technology act as a soft contrast to the Anthropomorphic Gogotte.

The DRX2 and DRX1 were also chosen for their exceptional precision in directing light. This ensures that the light falls exactly where it is needed; illuminating the artwork in a way that highlights its unique features whilst not degrading the piece over time as an incandescent would. In the context of Frieze Masters, where diverse works spanning centuries are on display, having spotlights that can be tailored to each piece’s requirements to create a dynamic visual experience is of utmost importance. An added bonus to using energy-efficient technology is the contribution to reducing the overall environmental impact of the exhibition.

“We love the time saved using RCL lights and the support we get is wonderful”
