Picture Lighting By Kimberly Quang At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

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.
