Picture lights are the perfect way to highlight artwork, framed photos, and wall décor with a soft, focused glow. Designed to bring out the detail and texture of your pieces, these fixtures add both sophistication and warmth to your interiors. Carrington Lighting offers a range of picture lights in various finishes, sizes, and styles to suit modern and traditional spaces alike.
Showcase Art with Purpose
Whether you're illuminating a large canvas or a small gallery wall, picture lights enhance your display by reducing shadows and drawing attention to key features. Mount them above paintings, mirrors, or prints to create a gallery-style effect in living rooms, hallways, offices, or home libraries. With sleek designs and adjustable angles, they ensure that every piece gets the attention it deserves.
Picture Light Styles for Every Space
Choose from slim LED picture lights for a minimalist look or go with traditional styles that add a decorative accent. Carrington Lighting’s collection includes brass, black, bronze, and nickel finishes to complement your frame and décor. Adjustable arm and swivel designs offer directional control, while integrated LEDs provide consistent, energy-efficient lighting with minimal maintenance.
Installation Tips and Placement
For best results, mount your picture light about one-third of the way down from the top of the artwork, or 5 to 7 inches above the frame. The beam should wash the surface evenly without causing glare. Battery-operated and plug-in options are available for easy installation, while hardwired models offer a cleaner, more permanent setup.
Complete Your Accent Lighting Plan
Picture lights are a subtle but impactful way to personalize your home lighting. Combine them with other focused fixtures like puck lights and step lights from our full Accent Lights collection to create a well-rounded, layered lighting design that enhances both form and function.
