Know before you buy
No, this fixture is not dimmable. It is designed for standard on-off operation.
The Tate Picture Light is a hardwired fixture, meaning it must be connected directly to your home's electrical wiring behind the wall.
To maintain the finish, gently wipe the metal with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth and immediately follow with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the brass coating.
Because this is a hardwired wall-mounted fixture, we recommend professional installation by a licensed electrician to ensure it is safely and securely mounted.
This is the 'Small' version of the Tate collection, which is best suited for smaller to medium-sized artwork. We recommend checking the dimensions of your piece to ensure the light provides the coverage you desire.
