Know before you buy
No, this specific model is not dimmable. It is designed to provide a consistent, focused output for highlighting artwork.
Yes, because this is a hardwired wall-mounted fixture, we recommend having a licensed electrician handle the installation to ensure it is properly secured and connected to your home's electrical system.
An 18-inch fixture is ideal for medium-sized pieces, typically ranging from 20 to 30 inches in width. For larger canvases, you may want to consider using two fixtures to ensure even light distribution across the entire frame.
The Barrett Picture Light is designed for standard interior living spaces like hallways, studies, or living rooms. It is not rated for damp or wet locations, so it should not be installed in bathrooms or areas with direct moisture exposure.
Natural Brass is a living finish, meaning it will develop a unique patina as it interacts with the air and environment over time. If you prefer a consistent, mirror-like look that stays bright, the Polished Nickel finish is a better choice.
