Simple Classic Brass Picture Light

How far should this type of light be mounted above a picture frame?

It’s typically recommended to install the fixture 5 to 7 inches above the frame to ensure even lighting without casting harsh shadows or glare.

Is it safe to use this light with antique or delicate artworks?

Yes, provided you use low-heat, UV-free bulbs such as LEDs, which are safe for sensitive or antique materials.

Does this require in-wall wiring or can it be surface mounted?

Some versions support plug-in or battery operation, while others need in-wall electrical wiring. Always verify the mounting type before purchase.

What size frame works best with this style of lighting?

This light style generally complements medium to large frames, especially those between 16 and 36 inches wide, depending on the fixture size.

Will the brass surface reflect light or cause glare?

Most brass finishes are brushed or antique-style to reduce reflective glare, making them suitable for use in low-glare display setups.

Can this be used on a slanted wall or angled ceiling?

If the mounting plate supports it, some lights can be adjusted to accommodate angled installations, but always check mounting compatibility first.

How do I ensure the light is evenly distributed across wide artwork?

Choose a fixture length that closely matches the artwork's width, and opt for designs with diffuser covers or multi-bulb options to avoid uneven spots.
