An 18-inch plug-in picture light in black, made to highlight framed art and photographs with warm directional light and no hardwiring.
From House of Troy's Classic Traditional collection, this picture light has a metal base and metal shade finished in black - a clean, understated look that disappears against dark frames and modern gallery walls. The arm telescopes from 7 to 9 inches to clear deep frames, and the in-line hi-lo switch sits 3 feet from the plug so you can adjust brightness at the cord.
Best for
- Living rooms and hallways with framed art, where a plug-in light avoids new wiring
- Home galleries and stairwell walls with one large piece or a row of frames
- Studies and offices where a picture light adds soft accent light over a desk wall
- Rentals and apartments - the 2-prong cord plugs into any standard outlet
Not ideal for
- Canvases wider than 18 inches - the shade will not span the full width
- Walls with no nearby outlet, since this is a plug-in model rather than hardwired
- Rooms where you need a primary light source - this is an accent fixture
How bright is it?
Lumen output is not specified by the manufacturer. With two 25W or 40W T10 incandescent bulbs (not included), expect accent-level light for highlighting artwork rather than lighting a room.
Light color and feel
Color temperature depends on the bulbs you choose. Traditional incandescent bulbs give a warm, golden tone that flatters oil paintings and wood frames. The in-line hi-lo switch offers two brightness settings.
Sizing and fit
The metal shade measures 18 inches wide, and the arm telescopes from 7 to 9 inches from the wall. Overall dimensions are 18 in W x 2.25 in H. Weighs 4 lbs.
