Picture lighting using MR16 accent lighting fixtures or optical framing projectors?
We are in the process of building a new home. The builder has suggested that I use MR16 accent lights to illuminate my artwork. I feel that a projector is more suitable for my needs. Do you have any information that I can provide to the builder to show him what I am talking about? Thanks.We do a have a color catalog that illustrates the many ways a Contour Projector can be the most effective way to light your art. MR16 accent lights are some of the most widely used accent lights on the market. They are small, powerful and a very effective tool for lighting art. However, MR16 accent lights do not provide the control or sophistication that projectors do for lighting fine art.
The Contour projector is certainly a big step up from the MR16 lighting fixture. The internal lenses produce a focused light which can be shaped or masked to follow the exact contour of the art. That means only the canvas is lit without spill light on the wall. So, the object takes on a "lighted from within" look that is simply magical. The same is true for lighting sculptures!
Why don't you show your builder our projector comparison page to learn more about how we stack up against the competition. In the meantime, I will forward you a complete binder illustrating both our art lighting equipment as well as our low voltage shelf lighting system.
Contact Mrs. Lacombe at 800-863-1184 x 125 or by email at aleini@phantomlighting.com if we can be of assistance. Building a home is a major undertaking and getting you lighting right will make all the difference in the world!
