A 14-inch plug-in picture light in black metal, made to wash a framed artwork or gallery wall in warm, even light without any wiring.
Part of House of Troy's Classic Traditional collection, this two-light picture light pairs a slim metal shade with a telescoping arm that extends from 7 to 9 inches, so you can dial in the throw of light across a canvas or print. The black finish keeps it quiet against dark frames and traditional interiors, and the in-line hi-lo switch on the cord lets you set two brightness levels without a wall switch.
Best for
- Living rooms and studies with a large framed painting or print above a mantel or console
- Gallery walls where you want each piece lit from above without hiring an electrician
- Rentals and apartments - plugs into a standard outlet with a 2-prong cord
- Home offices and libraries with artwork behind a desk
Not ideal for
- Very large canvases wider than about 30 inches - a 14-inch shade lights a narrower band
- Spaces where you want a hardwired, switch-controlled fixture rather than a visible cord
- Rooms where you need the light itself to be a primary light source - this is accent lighting
How bright is it?
Takes two 25W or 40W B10 candelabra-base incandescent bulbs (not included). Lumen output is not specified by the manufacturer, but two 40W candelabra bulbs give roughly the accent-level wash you'd expect from a picture light - enough to make a painting glow, not enough to light a room.
Light color and feel
Light color depends on the bulbs you choose. A warm-white incandescent bulb (around 2700K) gives the soft, golden tone traditional picture lights are known for and flatters oil paintings, warm wood frames, and brass hardware. CRI and dimmability are bulb-dependent; the fixture itself offers a two-level hi-lo switch rather than full dimming.
Sizing and fit
Shade measures 14 inches wide; overall height is about 2.25 inches and the arm telescopes from 7 to 9 inches off the wall. Best suited to artwork roughly 20-30 inches wide, hung at standard eye level. The 3-foot cord with in-line switch reaches a nearby outlet.
