The entrance ceiling of the gallery were using track LED lights to give ambient and task lighting. The LEDs were covered with lenses that can stretch and defuse the light. They are using different sizes of LEDs on the tracks to give contrast and highlight the artwork.

This piece of photography art is lit by backlight with strip LED lights. The strip LEDs not only lit the photography but also lit the arch above.

The illuminance values of the corridor, stairway and gallery space are very different. The corridors have an average value of 60, the average value of the stairway is 110 and the average value of the gallery space is 440. These differences forms a more diverse experience when walking from one gallery space to another, the corridor is like an atmosphere and emotion changing area for people to cool down a bit and continue to the next gallery space.

The cafe space is very bright and immersed in natural sunlight. This space is also lit by LED track lights. There are a few surface lights in between the LEDs to give a warm background as ambient lighting.
