Larchdale 36cm Picture Light - Solid Brass

Description

DescriptionThe Larchdale is a solid brass picture light made to light artwork, prints and framed pictures from above. The 36cm fitting holds two 6W LED lamps behind a slim shade that directs light down across the surface of a picture, showing its colours and detail without glare into the room. Both the reach and the height are adjustable, with the arm projecting between 290mm and 350mm and the head sitting between 160mm and 250mm high, so you can angle it to suit frames of different sizes. It is made from solid brass throughout, a material that ages gently and feels substantial.
A picture light earns its place above a painting, a print or a run of framed photographs, in a living room, hallway, study or up a staircase. It is equally at home lighting a mirror or a shelf display where you want a focused, gallery-style glow rather than general room light. The traditional brass finish suits period and classic interiors, and because the light is dimmable you can set it low for atmosphere or brighter to show a piece off. It is an accent light, chosen for what it lights rather than to light a whole room.
Being solid brass, the fitting is weighty and hard-wearing, and the finish can be left to develop a natural patina or kept bright with an occasional polish using a suitable brass cleaner. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth between times. The Larchdale uses two 6W E14 LED lamps, not included, and is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable LED bulbs. As a Class 1 fitting it requires an earthed connection. Rated IP20 for indoor use in dry rooms. It suits our wider range of traditional brass wall lights.

Frequently AskedWhat is the Larchdale picture light made from?
It is made from solid brass throughout, which gives it weight and a warm, traditional finish. Solid brass wears well and can be left to develop a natural patina over time.
How do I look after the brass?
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean. You can either let the brass age naturally or keep it bright with an occasional polish using a cleaner made for brass. Switch off and let the lamps cool first.
Will it fit over my picture, and is it adjustable?
The fitting is 36cm across, and both the reach and height adjust, projecting 290mm to 350mm and sitting 160mm to 250mm high. That lets you position the light over frames of different sizes.
What bulbs does it take and can it be dimmed?
It uses two 6W E14 LED lamps, which are not included. It is dimmable when paired with a compatible dimmer switch and dimmable LED bulbs.
What is a picture light used for?
It is an accent light designed to illuminate artwork, prints, mirrors or shelf displays from above. It is a Class 1 earthed fitting, rated IP20 for indoor use in a living room, hallway or study.
