How do I light a stained glass window?

What is the proper lighting to use in lighting a stained glass window from behind? It is in a bookase and will be lit from behind the window.

Lighting stained glass windows is a real challenge. The thick glass prevents the light from penetrating evenly because of the various wave length characteristics assosicated with the colors. It sometimes takes several lights to get it right.

I would suggest the you consider using a HALOGEN LIGHT with a spot lamp. Set up a test with the light before selecting a final mounting position.

You might need a DIMMER CONTROL to set the intensity.
