Picture Lighting - Articles Surfing

Lighting pictures is a great way to accentuate the color and detail of your artwork. Many homeowners are victims of the myth that natural sunlight is the best way to illuminate pictures. Nothing could be further from the truth. Ultraviolet and Infrared radiation from the sun can damage your artwork and turn a picture lighting project into a complete disaster. Moving your pictures out of the path of these damaging rays may be the best decision you ever make.

Insufficient light fixtures do not make up for this problem. Many bulbs produce ultraviolet radiation and can produce the same type of damage that would occur, if you left your pictures hanging under natural sunlight. Homeowners need to find a superior lighting manufacturer, who can offer a variety of picture light products that are safe, effective, and energy efficient.

Most art galleries, consultants, and homeowners tend to use surface mounted lights. These lights are usually attached to the frame leaving cords exposed or concealed depending upon the location of the receptacle. The light produced by these fixtures floods the artwork and can produce a high level of heat that may be harmful to your picture. Homeowners are better off going with an MR16 bulb fixture, which has dichroic reflectors that eliminate harmful UV and infrared radiation.

RLLD has illumination products that use this type of bulb. We have projectors that produce a focused source of illumination over your artwork giving your artwork a 'lighted from within' look. These projectors have a 75-watt MR16 halogen based lamps originally designed for the fiber optic industry. They come with special UV filters that eliminate any harmful rays from reaching your picture. These projectors come in a variety of housings for different looks.

We also have single, double, and triple arm lighting fixtures to accent your works of art. These lights come in a variety of finishes depending upon your color preference. RLLD offers many different styles of picture lighting as well. We have light fixtures that are perfect for traditional, contemporary, and even Old World settings. All will add a touch of soft brilliance to your home environment.

Natural sunlight has always been considered to be the best source of illumination, when it comes to picture lighting.
