Chrome Lights for Artwork

Chrome plating gives a classic picture light shade a more contemporary feel. As well as protecting it from surface marring, Chrome has a highly polished, mirror-like appearance. Chrome would be a great complement to Chrome frames as well as most metallic frames (I have one on a bright green metal frame and it looks amazing), or any black and most silver frames. Some frames are actually mirrors, and a Chrome art frame light on top would just be dynamite. If Chrome is already in your gallery or your home you can't go wrong with more. The content of the picture also needs to be considered, of course, but many prints and photos would be perfectly suited to a chrome art light on the frame.

Most of our House of Troy styles are available in Chrome, such as the SL11-62 - the Slim-Line 11" Chrome Picture Light. The 11" is perfectly sized for a 22" picture frame, the Slim-Line shade is held over the frame on two slender bent arms. Modern lines, modern chrome finish.

If you are ready to direct wire a picture light, the DC16-62 is our Direct Wire Contemporary 16" Chrome Picture Light. While these direct-wire styles come in a variety of sizes (from 9" to 36" in fact), the 16" light would be perfect to illuminate a 32" frame (more of less). Many fine homes and a quantity of hotels across America have mounted these gleaming chrome art lights to great effect.

Finally, if you are aware of the remarkable potential and efficiency of LED lighting, we recommend you check the SLED20-62. This model is our 20" LED Picture Light in Polished Chrome. LED lighting is the wave of the future, and most of our lights will be available with an LED option in the very near future. This model is a Slim-Line - museum grade contemporary styling - with LED light strip that will last for 50,000 hours and use a minimal amount of electricity.
