Enhance Your Paintings With Full Spectrum Lights!

A beautiful painting – one of exquisite composition and design, reflects the talent and training of an artist’s talent. A painting is valued by its meaning to the beholder, whether it was rendered by a talented master, a promising art student, or even your child’s first masterpiece. You took the trouble to frame it, and now you discover that when it’s hanging on your wall you can’t really see it. It looks completely different from when it was being framed at the store. What’s the problem? Lighting. You need natural, full spectrum light to properly view the painting.

Ever go into someone’s home and stand there squinting to see the details on their paintings? They have beautiful furnishings, and have invested a fortune in paintings and in framing them, but you can’t see the pieces, let alone appreciate the true colors that the artist painted. Well the answer to the problem is simple. They need to showcase their artwork’s true colors with an art lamp, and OttLite’s Lisbon Art Lamps provide the best Fine Art lighting system on the market today.

The OttLite Lisbon Art Lamp is adjusted to illuminate any size of painting in a collection with true, natural lighting. OttLite full spectrum lights are used in museums, galleries, and private collections all over the world. The Lisbon Art Lamp is a carefully crafted lighting fixture for serious art collectors who want to see the true picture that the painter envisioned. Safe to use close to the paintings, these lamps can light the work without upstaging the painting or the frame. Indeed, with proper lighting, a carefully invested collection looks as it did in the artist’s studio – in true color.

In addition to color perception, the big concern with lighting a painting is glare. Reflection and glare are often problems with artwork that has been placed behind glass. Non-reflective glass and proper placement of lighting can help solve these problems.

Oil Paintings can be difficult to light because of the spectral highlights that are created when intense light is directed at the painting. A broad-based light source is best for lighting an Oil Painting. Acrylic paintings are not glossy, and therefore don't have the glare problems associated with oils or artwork framed under glass, but true, natural (full spectrum) lights help view the color and design of the painting.

So for a picture perfect view of your picture, use an OttLite’s Lisbon Art Lamp, it contains a genuine 10 Watt OttLite tube that lasts up to 10, 000 hours. Paintings are one of the great joys of an abundant life, and engender a family legacy that will continue through generations. Enjoy them, and enjoy them properly with the right light.
