LED lights for paintings

LED Picture Lights and Art Lighting

The right picture light acts like a “light frame”: it reveals true color, contrast, and fine detail, enhances canvas or paper texture, and turns an ordinary wall into a curated, gallery-like display. This is not generic wall lighting—art lighting is about control and comfort: even coverage without hotspots, reduced glare and reflections (especially on glass-framed pieces), and consistent light quality that doesn’t distort the artwork’s colors. In this category you’ll find solutions for homes, offices, and commercial interiors—from classic picture lights above frames, to slim linear LEDs, to adjustable and cordless options—so you can match the fixture to your artwork size, frame depth, and interior style.

Quick pick: what works in most interiors

• Color accuracy: choose CRI 90+; for demanding artwork and photography aim for CRI 95+.
• Color temperature: 2700–3000K for a warm, cozy feel; 3000–4000K for a more neutral, gallery-like look.
• Fixture length: typically about 1/2–2/3 of the artwork width.
• Glare control: correct aiming matters more than raw power, especially with glass.
• Best upgrade: dimming gives better results and better control of exposure.

Filter by finish, length, and light quality to find the best fit for your artwork.
