Picture Light 2 Light Large - Polished Chrome

Description

Description
This Elstead picture light is a 360mm polished chrome tube housing two adjustable arms, each with a 2W halogen bulb (replaceable with G4 LED equivalents). The square backplate fixes to the wall above the frame, and the cylindrical body projects 200mm to direct light downwards onto artwork, mirrors or framed photography. The polished chrome finish reflects room light and pairs with both traditional gilt frames and modern frameless prints.

Designed for wall-mounting above frames between 600-900mm wide, the light is typically positioned 135mm above the top edge of the frame to avoid casting shadows across the upper portion of the image. The two adjustable arms allow the light angle to be set independently, compensating for uneven wall surfaces or frames that sit proud of the wall on chunky mounts. The fitting is mains-powered and requires wiring into a junction box or fused spur behind the backplate.

The polished chrome tube and backplate measure 360mm end-to-end, making the fitting substantial enough for larger frames without overwhelming smaller pieces in the 600-700mm range. The finish is a high-gloss chrome with a mirror-like surface that shows fingerprints easily during installation but cleans with a dry microfibre cloth. The two G4 bulbs provide concentrated downward light rather than ambient room lighting, so this fitting works best paired with general ceiling or floor lighting in the same space.

Frequently Asked
What size frame does it suit?

The 360mm width works best for frames between 600-900mm wide. For narrower frames under 600mm, a single-arm picture light may be more proportionate. For frames over 1m wide, consider pairing two of these fittings or choosing a longer picture light model.

How is it wired?

The fitting is mains-powered and must be wired into a junction box or fused spur behind the backplate. Installation requires a qualified electrician unless you are competent with domestic electrical wiring. There is no plug-in option for this model.

Can the bulbs be replaced with LED?

Yes. The fitting takes two G4 bulbs, which are available in both halogen and LED versions. Replacing the halogen bulbs with G4 LED equivalents reduces heat output and running cost without affecting the light distribution.

Does it work for mirrors?

Yes. Picture lights are commonly used above dressing mirrors and hallway mirrors where overhead ceiling lighting would cast shadows on the face. The downward-angled light from this fitting illuminates the mirror surface without glare.
