A homeowner can find plenty of helpful art lighting suggestions before picking out a fixture, and this will help speed along the lighting design process. The internet can be a major help in this endeavor, and there are plenty of examples a homeowner can look to for their display. When it comes to art lighting suggestions nobody has art lighting products or cabinet lighting products quite like Phantom lighting.
It’s not important for a homeowner to learn every little thing about how to light paintings or sculptures. What’s more important is that a homeowner gets a sense for what they like in a display and how to communicate this to their architect, builder or interior designer. Picture lights, accent lights, recessed lights and framing projectors are all types specialty products to consider as art lighting suggestions. Visiting the Phantom lighting image gallery is a great way to start the process!
In addition to the internet, a homeowner can get some practical art lighting suggestions while visiting museums or local art galleries. Take note of how the exhibits are positioned, where the fixture is situated, and how the illumination strikes the wall around the subject. Paintings with varnish or glass can produce reflective glare and this too is helpful to understand. Understanding these issues can help a homeowner determine what kind of painting they would like to acquire before even buying anything. Some venues also have experts on staff that set up the exhibits, and they can give some insight on how everything is set up.
Of course, it can be difficult to get such an expert to help you out, which is why it’s usually a better idea to approach an expert in the illumination industry. There are many professionals dedicated to setting up these displays, and they can pick out the perfect fixture for any setting. If a homeowner has any questions or doubts, an expert will be able to answer them.
One popular art lighting suggestion we hear often is using an optical framing projector to light artwork.
These specialty art lighting fixtures provide the most sophisticated attributes of all the art lighting products on the market today. This is due to the precision optics and ability to focus the light on the canvas or sculpture without any spill light on the wall. This unique product produces a lighted from within look that adds color, texture and form.
