The Tudor Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, London

This second floor room in the National Portrait Gallery begins the chronological sequence of Galleries and covers the Tudor dynasty from the defeat of Richard III at Bosworth Field by Henry Tudor, later crowned Henry VII, in 1485 through the reign of Henry VIII to his death in 1547 and his succession. The Tudor Gallery is entirely lit using fibre optic lighting sourced from metal halide Spectralux projectors and provide a light warmth of 3,500 degrees Kelvin.

There is no heat generated at output and no damaging UV rays, resulting in the oldest portraits in the gallery being at no risk of heat or light damage.
