Showcase Your Masterpieces with Picture Lights & Art Lighting
Picture lights are the secret weapon of interior designers, used to transform a flat wall into a dynamic focal point. By providing dedicated art lighting, you draw the eye to your paintings, photographs, and tapestries, enhancing their colors and textures. Whether you are lighting a single family portrait or a hallway full of collectibles, our collection offers the perfect painting light solutions to create a museum-quality display in your own home.
LED Picture Lights: Safe & Vibrant Gallery Lighting
When illuminating art, safety is just as important as style. LED picture lights are the superior choice for preserving your collection. Unlike traditional incandescent bulbs, LED art lights emit virtually no UV rays and very little heat, both of which can fade paint and damage canvas over time. Additionally, our LED fixtures offer a high Color Rendering Index (CRI), ensuring that the blues, reds, and yellows in your art look true to life, not washed out.
Plug-In Picture Lights vs. Hardwired Options
We offer versatile installation methods to suit your space.
- Hardwired Art Lights: These connect directly to your home’s electrical system, hiding cords behind the wall for a clean, seamless look. This is ideal for permanent displays and new construction.
- Plug-In Picture Lights: If you don't want to cut into drywall, a plug-in picture light is the perfect solution. These mount easily to the wall or frame and plug into a standard outlet, making them excellent for renters or quick upgrades.
Picture Light Styles to Match Your Frames
The art light fixture should complement the artwork, not distract from it.
- Modern Picture Lights: Featuring ultra-slim profiles and minimalist designs, these work well with photography and contemporary prints.
- Traditional & Brass: For oil paintings with ornate frames, a brass picture light or antique bronze finish adds a touch of classic elegance and sophistication.
Sizing Your Art Light Fixture
Achieving the perfect look requires the right proportions. A common rule for gallery lighting is to choose a fixture that is approximately half to two-thirds the width of the artwork (excluding the frame). This ensures the light spreads evenly across the canvas without overpowering the piece or leaving the edges in shadow.
