Know before you buy
The Cabinet Maker 18" Picture Light uses two incandescent bulbs, each with a maximum wattage of 25 watts.
The finish is a hand-rubbed antique brass, which offers a soft, lived-in luster rather than a high-gloss shine. This finish is designed to develop a subtle patina over time.
This 18-inch fixture is best suited for artwork ranging from 16 to 24 inches in width. For larger pieces, you may find that the light fall-off at the edges becomes more pronounced.
This is a wall-mounted fixture designed for hardwired installation. We recommend consulting with a professional electrician to ensure it is properly integrated into your home's electrical system.
While the fixture is specified for incandescent bulbs, you can use LED equivalents as long as they match the base type and do not exceed the 25-watt limit per socket. Ensure the LEDs are warm-toned to maintain the intended aesthetic of the light.
Yes, the head of the picture light is adjustable, allowing you to tilt the beam to hit the center of your artwork and minimize glare on the glass or canvas surface.
