Art Lighting
A Picture Light is a light designed specifically for the illumination of pictures, paintings, photographs, or any other flat, wall-mounted art. Also known as Art Lights, Gallery Lights, or Frame Lights, these kinds of light are meant as a direct accent for artwork, adding much needed highlights to the coloring and composition that are typically lost in ambient lighting. Picture Lights create a subtle change on the face of artwork, making colors pop and appear vivid on the canvas. Picture Lights are primarily used to light fine art in museums or art galleries, but are becoming more and more common in homes and offices as well.
Art Lights are very commonly used amongst avid art collectors because an art light can help bring some of the darker parts of the art piece to light. A piece of art that does not have an art light is very difficult to showcase to the best of its abilities because of the many subtle details within an art piece that are often overlooked. There are many different options for art lights to choose from, from wall, frame and even ceiling mounted. There are art spotlights, which typically shine a direct ray of light to the entire art piece, making it the center of attention amongst your collection. The most commonly purchased art lights are standard picture lights which can be mounted on the back of the frame or the wall depending on how you want the light to shine on your art. Picture lights often hang at the top of the frame and shine down a warm light on the art, which can give the art piece a "glowing effect".
Our sleek and straightforward frame-mounted designs complement the frame of a painting without detracting from the artwork, creating an overall sophisticated look. Available in Plug-In, Battery-Operated or Hardwired connection types, Cocoweb Picture Lights provide an elegant accent to your art no matter its style. Traditional Plug-In and Cordless options are available for any impromptu display.
All of our picture lights include pre-installed LEDs for the finest art lighting. LED lighting emits close to no UV radiation and creates little heat, preventing damage to artwork over time. Traditional screw-in bulbs can fade or crack paint, and therefore should be avoided. Cocoweb LEDs are made to last for 20 years, all the while minimizing energy consumption. They are the most economical and environmentally- conscious lighting solution.
