A 42-inch plug-in picture light in black, made to light a wide canvas, gallery wall, or mantel artwork with a clean, modern-traditional look.
From House of Troy's Classic Traditional collection, this six-bulb picture light has a slim metal shade that spans a large frame and an arm that telescopes from 7 to 9 inches to clear deep canvases or a thick mantel. The black finish is a crisp, matte-leaning dark tone that disappears against dark frames and suits contemporary, industrial, and transitional rooms alike.
Best for
- Living rooms and dens lighting a large painting or gallery wall above a sofa or mantel
- Modern and industrial interiors where a black finish blends with dark frames and metal accents
- Hallways and stair landings with a long horizontal piece that a single downlight can't cover
- Renters or anyone without in-wall wiring - it plugs into a standard outlet
Not ideal for
- Very small frames under about 24 inches wide - the 42-inch shade will overhang them
- Spaces where you want a hardwired, switch-controlled install - this is a plug-in model with an in-line cord switch
- Outdoor or bathroom use - no damp or wet rating is stated for this fixture
How bright is it?
Takes six 25W or 40W T10 incandescent bulbs (not included). Lumen output is not specified by the manufacturer, but six 40W bulbs give generous, even wash light across a large piece - more than enough for artwork, and adjustable via the in-line hi-lo switch.
Light color and feel
Color temperature depends on the bulbs you choose; with standard incandescent T10s you get a warm, golden 2700K-3000K feel that flatters oil paintings, warm woods, and black accents. The in-line hi-lo switch on the cord (about 3 ft from the plug) lets you drop to a softer accent level.
Sizing and fit
Overall 42 in wide x 5 in deep x 2.25 in high, with an arm that telescopes from 7 to 9 in to extend the lamp away from the wall. The 42-inch shade suits artwork roughly 40-48 inches wide. Weighs 7 lbs. Plug-in with a 2-prong cord.
