Frame Spotlight - Light on the Picture, Nothing on the Wall Below It

A slim bar that mounts above a frame and tilts through 120 degrees, so the beam lands on the canvas rather than on the plaster. The battery covers up to eight hours and refills in three to four. Brightness, tone and an automatic off timer all run from the remote.

Why choose this frame spotlight?

Hardwiring a picture light means a chase in the wall and a decision you are stuck with. Adhesive or screws take about a minute and come back off when the wall gets rearranged. Nothing hangs below the frame either way.

• Charge cycle: up to 8 hours of light, refilled in three to four hours on the included cable.
• Tilt range: 120 degrees of travel, enough to drop the beam onto the full height of a canvas.
• Timed shut-off: pick 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours from the remote and forget about it.
• Tone and level: 2600K, 4000K and 6000K across four brightness steps.
• Magnetic plate: the bar pulls off for charging and returns to exactly the same alignment.

The fixture stays out of the story and the frame gets the attention.

The lamp runs 32 x 4 x 3 cm on a wall base of 20 x 4.5 cm, which suits a medium frame well. Center the base above the picture, fix it with the pad or the screws, then tilt until the bottom of the canvas brightens. One remote drives several units, which is worth knowing if you have a corridor of frames.
