A 21-inch plug-in picture light in black, California-compliant and built to light a large painting or gallery wall without any wiring.
From House of Troy's Classic Traditional collection, this three-bulb picture light has a metal shade and base finished in black for a crisp, gallery-neutral look that disappears against dark frames. The arm telescopes from 7 to 9 inches so you can set the shade back from the canvas, and the in-line hi-lo switch sits on the cord about 3 ft from the plug.
Best for
- Living rooms and studies with a large framed painting or print 30 in wide or more
- Gallery walls needing one wide wash of light across several frames
- Dark-framed art and black-accent interiors where a black shade blends in
- California buyers who need a compliant plug-in picture light
Not ideal for
- Very small frames - a 21 in shade will overhang artwork narrower than about 24 in
- Spaces where a visible 2-prong cord running to an outlet is a problem
- Anyone wanting a hardwired, switch-controlled installation
How bright is it?
Lumen output is not specified by the manufacturer. It takes three 25W or 40W B10 candelabra-base incandescent bulbs, so brightness depends on the bulbs you choose - 40W for a brighter gallery wash, 25W for a softer accent glow.
Light color and feel
Color temperature depends on the incandescent bulbs you install; warm-white bulbs around 2700K are typical and flatter oil paintings, wood frames, and dark finishes. The hi-lo in-line switch gives two brightness levels rather than full dimming.
Sizing and fit
The shade measures 21 in wide and the arm telescopes from 7 to 9 in from the wall. Overall dimensions are W 21 in x H 2 in. Best suited to walls with roughly 12 in or more of clearance above the top of the frame.
