Abstract
A lighting system and process for lighting objects particularly art works such as paintings and sculptures, comprising a diffusing film that scatters the light such that the object is illuminated substantially uniformly. The preferred embodiment employs one row of such lighting sources for small objects, and two or more rows for larger objects. The inner row is directed towards the top portion of the object and the outer row is directed towards the bottom portion of the object. The rows need not be placed next to each other. For 3-dimensional objects, one row may be below the object and the other row above to eliminate shadows.
