Installing Fine Art Lighting is Easy

All lights include mounting hardware and step-by-step directions. Installation only takes a few minutes with basic household tools to attach the mounting hardware to the picture frame or wall.

Choose the Right Size Picture Light

Frame Size: Light Size:
12" - 24" 8"
12" - 37" 12"
38" + 18"

Picture lights come in several lengths ranging from 8" to 18". Using our suggested size guide (right), choose the length that will most effectively illuminate your fine art. Your fine art lighting preferences may vary, but we suggest these sizes and measurements as a guide.

Add Ambience to Your Home

Light can add a focal point, illuminate areas and create drama and atmosphere. It can bring out the detail and beauty of special objects and create a unique mood within a room. It can even make a room feel larger or more soothing. The play of light and shadow can transform an ordinary-looking room into a special space. Our wide selection of easy-to-install lights will offer you the best lighting for your artwork -- whether at home, in the studio or at the art gallery.

Spotlight a Special Picture or Object

The Avanti desk/picture light is adjustable and perfectly suited for adding light exactly where you need it -- for fine art lighting or otherwise. Because halogen most closely approximates natural daylight, our Avanti light is also excellent for reading, writing or working on a computer. Direct the bright white beam from the Avanti light to read your favorite book and help avoid eye strain. The mobility and unique brightness of this versatile light makes it a must for every home.

Suggestions on Hiding the Electrical Cords

The optimal way to camouflage the electrical cords on your picture lights is to hire a licensed electrician to hardwire the lights with a recessed outlet behind the artwork. Outlets may be added near pictures and the cords concealed with PVC cord cover, which can be painted or stained to match the walls or woodwork in the room. You may also use cord covers to run the light cord to the nearest outlet, provided the cord will reach. Self-adhesive backing makes cord covers easy to install without an electrician's help, and are available at your local home improvement and hardware stores. In addition, we suggest placing furniture or home furnishings in front of cords to help "hide" them. All corded lights are supplied with a UL/CUL listed 12 volt power supply. Please make sure to follow all standard electrical and safety guidelines. If unsure, consult a licensed electrician.
