  • What is the best way to light artwork?

      • Lighting plays a crucial role in art, enhancing the physical form of the object and creating a certain mood or atmosphere. When it comes to using lights in art, the goal is to highlight the artwork in a way that brings out its best features. This can be achieved by using a picture light or art light that is three times brighter than the room's ambient light. The light should be positioned in such a way that it illuminates the artwork without causing any glare or shadows. You should also take into account the Color Rendering Index (CRI) of the bulbs in your light, as it can affect the appearance of the colors of your artwork. A CRI over 90 is ideal for showcasing artwork.

  • What is an art light?

      • An art light, also known as a picture light, is a type of lighting fixture designed specifically to illuminate artworks. These lights are typically mounted on the wall or the frames of individual artworks, placing the light source close to the work of art. Art lights come in various styles and sizes, and they can be either hardwired directly to a junction box, fixed to a recessed outlet behind the artwork, or simply plugged into the nearest power outlet. A plug-in art light offers the utmost flexibility when it comes to repositioning your artwork.

  • How do you install plug-in art lights?

      • Installing an art light or picture light is a relatively straightforward process. First, make sure the artwork is mounted where you want it on the wall. Next, place the art light so that it's centered on your art and mark its placement on the wall with a pencil. Make sure it is close enough to an outlet so you can safely plug it in. Remove the art from the wall and, using the included screw kit, mount the light on the wall where you marked. Use a level, if necessary.
