Good to Know
What size picture light do I need?
A picture light should span about one half to two thirds of the frame's width. The 11.8" single-arm Arden suits artwork and mirrors about 18–24" wide, while the 29.9" double-arm Arden suits canvases about 45–60" wide. If your piece falls between sizes, the longer light usually gives the more even result.
How far above the frame should it be mounted?
Position the backplate so the hood sits about 3–6" above the top of the frame. From there, use the swivel hinge to tilt the hood until the light reaches the bottom of the artwork without glare on the surface.
Can I angle the light?
Yes. A brass hinge between the arm and the hood lets you tilt the light up or down and holds it at the angle you set. This makes it easy to light tall canvases, deep frames, or glass-covered prints without shadows or reflections.
Can I use it over a bathroom mirror?
Yes. Center it above the mirror at about 75–80" from the floor so light falls evenly on your face. The Arden is rated IP20 for indoor dry locations, so install it away from showers, tubs, and direct splashing.
Does it work over a bed or bookshelf?
It does. The 29.9" double-arm version works well about 20–30" above a headboard as a reading and wall light, or along the top of a bookshelf to highlight books and objects.
