We have been lighting artwork in galleries and museums as well as private homes for two decades. From that experience, we have developed a lighting system that can bring the highest quality lighting into diverse settings - country houses, city apartments, and stately homes - as well as museums and galleries. Houses and apartments serve primarily as living spaces. Displaying and conserving artwork is not a primary objective. Lighting for artwork should blend into residential architecture and décor, and residential architecture and decor limit alternatives for electrical power. Traditional picture lights do not light paintings well. Often, they light pictures unevenly, add a colour cast, muddy the colours, or illuminate details poorly. Many picture lights fail to light the full length or width of a canvas. Bulbs may be harsh or they may distort colours.
