Display Lighting Guide

Color accuracy matters: CRI (Color Rendering Index) measures how true colors look under a light source. For art and colorful collections, choose 90 CRI or higher. Most fixtures on this page meet that bar.

Match the color temperature to the piece: Warm light (2700K to 3000K) flatters wood, gold leaf, and warm-toned paintings. Neutral light (3500K to 4000K) suits contemporary art, ceramics, and anything with cool blues and whites.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size picture light should I choose?

A good rule of thumb is a light about one-half to two-thirds the width of the frame. A 36" painting, for example, works well with an 18" to 24" light. Mount it so the arm reaches far enough to cast light evenly down the canvas without leaving the bottom dark.

Is LED lighting safe for artwork?

LED picture lights typically emit little UV and direct less radiant heat toward artwork than incandescent or halogen lamps. Visible light can still fade sensitive paintings, photographs, and textiles. Use only the brightness needed, limit display time, and seek conservation advice for valuable or fragile pieces.

Do tape and button lights need a transformer?

Low-voltage fixtures like the InvisiLED PRO tape and LEDme button lights run on 24V and need a compatible power supply, sold separately. Plan for the power supply when you budget, and size it to handle the total wattage of everything you connect.
