A picture light is a dedicated light fixture designed to mount above a piece of art, casting focused, even illumination to enhance its color and detail. At Bees Lighting, we offer a curated selection of art lighting that transforms your walls into a personal gallery, making every piece a stunning focal point.
Why Dedicated Art Lighting Matters
Using a ceiling light or a standard lamp can create glare and cast uneven shadows. Our picture lights are engineered to provide museum-quality illumination in your own home.
- Enhance Color & Detail: The right light brings out the rich colors and subtle details that the artist intended for you to see. Our picture lights are designed for high Color Rendering Index (CRI), ensuring tones look true and vibrant.
- Eliminate Glare: By casting light at the perfect angle, our art lighting fixtures illuminate the canvas without creating distracting reflections or hot spots, allowing for clear and enjoyable viewing from anywhere in the room.
- Protect Your Artwork: Heat and UV radiation can cause irreversible damage to artwork, leading to fading and discoloration. Our modern LED picture lights produce virtually no UV rays and minimal heat, preserving your collection for years to come.
- Create a Focal Point: Good art lighting does more than just illuminate; it draws the eye, creates drama, and elevates the perceived value of your art. It’s the finishing touch that turns a decorated wall into a designer statement.
Tips for Perfect Art Illumination
- Size it Right: For a classic look, choose a picture light that is about half the width of the artwork (not including the frame).
- Aim for the Center: Mount the light so the beam is centered on the artwork. An adjustable head is a key feature, allowing you to tilt it to achieve the perfect angle, typically around 30 degrees to minimize glare.
- Consider the Finish: Match the fixture's finish (e.g., brass, nickel, black) to the frame or other hardware in the room for a cohesive and polished look.
