You will probably want to use glass fiber optic lighting which produces no UV and no heat. Although used in Europe for at least 3 decades this energy efficient lighting had been slow to catch on here. I learned all this while researching info for our "hopefully before I retire new addition". At one time, I found a catalog for a company that specialized in museum installations, but it vanished off my shelf.?
If I come across the information, will send to you.?
