Frequently Asked Questions
What size picture light do I need for my artwork?
As a general styling guide, your picture light should be approximately half the width of the picture frame (not just the artwork inside). For landscape pieces, look for a fixture that is roughly one-third to one-half the width to ensure even illumination across the whole canvas.
Are LED bulbs safe to use over sensitive paintings?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, modern LED bulbs are recommended for artwork. Unlike traditional halogen bulbs, LEDs generate virtually no heat and emit no UV light, which are the main causes of cracking and fading in sensitive oil paintings and photographs over time.
Where should the picture light be positioned?
Ideally, the picture light should be centered directly above the frame. It should be positioned slightly forward so the beam washes down the face of the art at an angle, reducing harsh reflection and glare on the protective glass.
Can I install picture lights without channelling into walls?
Traditional picture lights require hardwiring into the mains by an electrician, which usually involves channelling. However, if you are looking for a rental-safe option without the mess, there are decorative battery-operated or plug-in picture lights available on the market.
