We have recently been commissioned to supply and install 10 lights for paintings at Ironmongers Hall, Barbican, London. Our new Contemporary Picture (L.E.D.) light was finished to the same colour as the panelling to try and hide the picture light – note there is no overspill of light onto the top of the frame, unlike conventional bulbs that burn filaments, our L.E.D.'s emit only photons and evenly cover the canvas with illumination.
It is difficult to judge the scale but these paintings were very large, over 5 feet wide.

Ironmongers Hall lighting plan, Barbican. All the lights we made to hang from an upper cornice - the power runs through the arms of the picture light - it was not possible to have the power behind the paintings.
