The light bar sits parallel to the top edge of a frame and directs light downward and outward, illuminating the canvas or print surface without casting the fixture's own shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for wall-mounting above framed artwork, mirrors, or photograph arrangements, the Chawton suits both residential spaces (living rooms, hallways, home galleries) and commercial settings (galleries, hotels, offices). The knuckle joints between the wall plate and the light bar allow the fitting to be angled forward or back depending on the size and position of the frame below. The matt black finish recedes visually against most wall colours, keeping focus on the artwork rather than the light fitting itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal housing is finished in a non-reflective matt black that minimises glare when viewed from the side. The large size accommodates wide canvases and multi-frame arrangements where a single light source needs to cover 80-120cm of horizontal surface. The fixture mounts to a standard wall plate with fixing screws concealed behind the knuckle assembly once installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bulb does it take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chawton takes a standard bulb fitting (typically E14 or E27 depending on the variant — see the Specification tab for the exact socket type). Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair picture lights with warm-white LED bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K to avoid colour distortion on artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the light angle be adjusted after installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The knuckle joints between the wall plate and the light bar allow the fitting to be angled forward or back to direct light onto the frame surface. This can be adjusted by hand after installation without needing to re-fix the wall plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size artwork does it suit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe large size is designed for canvases or frames between 80cm and 120cm wide. For smaller frames (40-80cm) a shorter picture light may be more proportionate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it wired?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chawton mounts to a wall plate and requires mains wiring. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician, particularly if the light is being fitted where no previous wiring exists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elstead Lighting","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45655657513227,"sku":"CHAWTON-PLL-BLK","price":135.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/chawton-pll-blk_463f38bd-5d3c-463f-9945-4a04a8482e8e.jpg?v=1721816812","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/chawton-large-picture-light-matt-black","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
