Lighting fine art over a sofa without glare in your eyes.
I live in Mexico and recently purchased a new painting that I plan to install over my living room sofa. I would like to light it properly without blinding my family or friends who might be sitting on the sofa. Do you have any suggestions of who to call in Mexico?One of the best ways to control spill light on the sofa is by using a light fixture that has a focused light source. Framing projectors, like the Contour Projector, produce a high intensity beam of light that can be shaped to fit the contour of the object. This technique eliminates all the light around the art on the wall and the sofa below.
You could also install a MR16 low voltage adjustable halogen accent light mounted above the sofa and out of the field of view. From a steep aiming angle there will be some light on the wall around the art without bothering anyone sitting on the sofa.
If you would like to learn more about lighting fine art using framing projects contact our Mexico Lighting Agent or a lighting designer in your area.
