Contemporary Picture Lights

Enhance Your Art with Contemporary Picture Lighting

Contemporary picture lighting designs are specifically engineered to illuminate and enhance artwork, paintings, and photographs. These lighting fixtures are made to provide the optimal lighting for art pieces, showcasing their colors, textures, and details in the best possible light.

What finishes do contemporary picture lights come in?

Popular finishes include chrome, brushed nickel, and other silver metallic finishes. Black, white, and brass or gold designs are also available, and may want to be considered depending on the colors seen in the artwork.

What light sources are used in contemporary picture lighting?

Almost all picture lights today use LED technology as the light source. These have a very low heat output, are highly energy efficient, and accurately reproduce artwork colors, making them the preferred choice for contemporary picture lighting.

What size of contemporary picture lighting do I need?

A rough rule of thumb is that the light should be around half the width of the artwork, including the frame. If you are using a contemporary picture light with a slim profile, you may have to go larger in order to cover the entire art piece.
