Studio Lighting Upgrade


A Brighter Future!


We are thrilled to announce that the New Mexico Art League has officially upgraded the lighting in our main studio! We have installed 24 state-of-the-art PerformaLUX LED fixtures designed specifically for the needs of fine artists. This upgrade isn't just about brightness; it’s about precision. By moving from our old 60W units to these high-efficiency 24W fixtures, we’ve significantly reduced our energy footprint while dramatically improving the quality of light in the space.

The new system features a CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 95+ and a color temperature of 5000K. For our students, this means you are now working under "balanced daylight" conditions regardless of the time of day. The high CRI ensures that the colors you see on your palette are the exact colors that appear on your canvas. Whether you are mixing delicate skin tones or vibrant landscapes, these lights provide the clarity and color accuracy required for professional-level work. We can’t wait for you to see your art in a whole new light!

This transformation was made possible through the generous support of our community partners. We would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Jaynes Corporation for providing the grant to purchase these high-performance fixtures. We also want to thank Service Electric Co., whose team of three electricians dedicated three full days to ensuring the precision installation of our new system.
