Modern picture lights - setting the scene for your works of art

An atmospheric home starts with the right light

Art inspires - but without the right lighting, even the most beautiful painting remains in the shadows. You have put a lot of love into choosing your pictures. Now they deserve a place in the spotlight. Modern picture lights transform your walls into a gallery. They provide the right light that intensifies colours, emphasises contours and evokes emotions.

What makes the right picture light?

Every picture has its own character - and every light should respect this. The right picture light emphasises the mood of the artwork. Different types of picture lights are available depending on the size of the room, the type of picture and the desired effect.

• LED picture light: Energy-efficient, long-lasting and with a pleasant light colour.
• Dimmable picture lights: Flexibly adjustable for daytime and evening moods.
• Multiple spotlights: Whether several individual picture lights or a track system they are ideal for collectors and galleries displaying different works.

Important: The distance to the picture determines how evenly the surface is illuminated. Coordinate the light precisely - only then will the desired effect be achieved.

A curtain of light for your art

Imagine a soft glow flowing over your pictures like a curtain of light. The indirect lighting emphasises the picture without dazzling. Especially with high-quality prints, photographs or paintings, the soft lighting brings depth and vibrancy.

Deliberately set accents. Use targeted lighting to create an atmosphere that invites you to linger. Visitors should feel inspired in your home. You can achieve this if you illuminate the picture to optimum effect.

The advantages of dimmable LED picture lights

Dimmable LED picture lights combine aesthetics and function. You decide for yourself whether the picture should shine brightly or shimmer discreetly. Perfect for changing light conditions - from sunny daylight to evening lighting.

These advantages speak for themselves:

• Pleasant, flicker-free light
• Long service life
• Minimal heat generation
• Flexible brightness control

LEDs are also gentle on the material. No yellowing, no fading. The colours of your artwork are retained.

Picture light with switch - for full control

Another plus: many models are available as picture lights with a switch. This means you have the light source under control at all times - without affecting the main lighting in the room. Particularly practical in corridors, alcoves or sleeping areas.

Choose models with an integrated switch if you want to operate independently of the rest of the room lighting.

What types of picture lights are there?

The right light for every picture - that's the aim. There is a large selection of picture lights. So that you don't lose track, we'll show you the most common variants:

Rod-shaped lights

Ideal for wide paintings. Light is distributed evenly from above.

Spotlights

Emphasise specific areas. These spotlights are perfect for smaller works or those who love detail.

Wall lights with flexible arm

The classics among the separate picture lights are wall lights with a flexible arm. Movable and customisable - depending on the size and format of the picture.

How to choose the right light

Not every light is suitable for every picture. Bear this in mind when making your choice:

• Format and size of the picture
• Material (canvas, glass, photo, print)
• Framing - dark frames require different light than light-coloured frames
• Position in the room (shadows cast, influence of daylight)
• Mounting height - important for an appropriate distance to the picture

Our tip: Test the effect with a mobile light source before final installation. This will allow you to see immediately how the illuminated picture looks.

Which light sources are suitable?

Choose light sources that bring your pictures to life. Ensure high colour rendering (CRI) so that all nuances appear natural. Opt for warm white light (2,700 to 3,000 Kelvin) to create a pleasant atmosphere.

Avoid light sources that emit heat. They can damage the image material in the long term. LEDs remain cool, provide constant light and protect the artwork. What's more, you don't have to keep replacing them - modern LEDs last for many years.

Go for quality. Because only with suitable light sources will your illuminated picture look as impressive as it deserves. They give your work of art presence - day after day.

Effective lighting for a stylish ambience

With the right light, you can enhance the effect of your interior. Rooms appear more structured, pictures more lively, walls less empty. Effective lighting creates depth and atmosphere.

Especially in living and dining areas, stylishly illuminated pictures are a talking point. They show a sense of style and attention to detail. A whole new room character is created in just a few simple steps.

Frequently asked questions about picture lights

How large should the distance between the light and the picture be?

Ideally, the distance to the picture should be around 20 to 30 cm. This allows the light to reach the entire picture surface without casting shadows.

Why is an LED picture light better than other variants?

LEDs consume less energy, generate hardly any heat and are gentle on the picture material. They also enable precise illumination.

Can I retrofit a picture light?

Yes, many separate picture lights can be installed without any problems - even without electrical work.

Is dimmable light useful for art lighting?

Absolutely. With dimmable picture lights, you create the possibility for individual customisation - depending on the time of day, type of picture and desired mood.

What should I look out for when buying?

Choose the right picture light to suit the picture size, room lighting and installation situation. Also make sure that you choose a suitable high-quality light source.
