The Classic picture light can be made to suit any size of art work.
Hogarth’s Classic Picture Light is available in any length and designed to blend in with any setting.
The Classic picture light can illuminate with a great degree of accuracy any size of art work.
Can be attached to the picture frame or wall, emitting zero heat and U.V. makes it totally safe for illuminating fine art. this means a long bulb life which equals low power usage.
Image shows our Classic picture light illuminating paintings within the inner hall of Hever Castle, former home of Anne Boleyn. The Inner Hall was the Great Kitchen in the Tudor period. The Italian walnut panelling and columns were designed in 1905 by the sculptor William Silver Frith as part of William Waldorf Astor’s restoration of Hever Castle.
Our Classic picture light has a very clever shutter system so that no bulbs are seen from the front or side of the picture light, this is totally unique to our picture lights.
The Hogarth L.E.D. (Light Emitting Diode) produces no U.V. (ultra violet) and no heat and has a bulb life of 100,000 hours, approximately 10 years.
If your fine art is valuable the Hogarth L.E.D. bulb is the only option to eliminate all U.V. and heat onto the canvas.

Like our Contemporary picture light, the Classic picture light has patented features enabling the illumination to be adjusted to fit the canvas.
The picture light can also be used with our ‘Invisible Wire’ system, meaning no need to channel walls, simply stick the wire to the wall and decorate over.
The picture light slides into a bracket which can be fitted to the frame or wall. This allows the picture light to be easily removed.
Our challenge at London's famous, In and Out, Naval and Military club was to light full size portraits. Our Classic picture light was up to the task. We supplied twenty five Classic picture lights, each one being handmade for each piece of fine art.
