Description
Satin black from end to end, this is a slim horizontal picture light that runs 35cm across and keeps its projection modest, so it sits close and quiet above a picture, a mirror or a run of shelving. Two G9 capsules do the work, both supplied, and they give a warm 2700K light that suits paper, canvas and painted plaster alike. A toggle switch on the fitting means it can be worked where you stand, and it dims once a compatible dimmer is in the circuit.
We reach for this where the light needs to serve a single object rather than a whole room: a framed print in a hall, an oil over a fireplace, or above a bookcase in a study. It also works in a bedroom or a study, where the switch on the body turns it into a reading light as readily as a display light. The warm white output keeps evening rooms settled, and dimming lets you drop it back to a glow once the rest of the room is lit. Warm white also sits kindly on wood and on warm-toned pictures.
The satin black finish is matt and even, holding the light rather than throwing it back, which keeps the fitting quiet beside whatever it lights. The capsules are replaceable, so the body long outlasts them. Dust it with a dry cloth when you pass, and leave the capsules to go cold before swapping them. It carries a one year warranty. At this size the same design is offered in satin nickel and antique brass, and we stock a longer version of it for wider frames and broader walls.

Frequently Asked
What lamps does it use, and are they supplied?
It takes two G9 capsules and they come with the fitting. Each socket is rated to a maximum of 33W, so LED capsules are the sensible replacement when the time comes.
Can I dim it?
Yes, on a compatible trailing or leading edge dimmer suited to LED loads. A dimmer is not supplied with the light, so specify one alongside it.
How much wall does it occupy?
It measures 350mm wide and 125mm high, and stands 220mm out from the wall, which is enough reach to wash the face of a framed picture.
Is there a switch on the light itself?
Yes, a toggle switch on the body, useful where the light is not on a switched circuit or where you want local control at the fitting.
What colour is the light?
2700K warm white, a soft yellow-toned light that reads warmer than daylight and flatters paintings, prints and timber frames.
Can it go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms, so keep it to halls, living rooms, studies and bedrooms.
