About

A thin, discreet picture light, our Pencil picture light is available in any of our finishes and can be finished in any colour specified.

The picture light can be cut to any length enabling us to best illuminate artwork.

Available with all of our power options. We have been asked on many occasions to make a tubular picture light, most designs use festoon bulbs which are unreliable and dangerous and illuminate very poorly. Our design uses the most up to date L.E.D. bulbs producing zero heat and U.V. (ultra violet) with a bulb life of 10 years.

The image shows our pencil picture lights being used in the China Tang restaurant, the Dorchester Hotel, London.

Hogarth’s Pencil light for paintings and interiors is a stylish, elegant, new concept light featuring innovative modular design and incorporates Hogarths L.E.D. technology.

Our Pencil picture light on a Simeon Stafford, private collection. The Pencil picture light lends a modern look and works well on this style of fine art. It also works well with the wooden, hand painted frame.

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.
