Contour Lighting Projectors are today’s most advanced lighting choice when it comes to illuminating fine masterpieces with precision and control.
These contour lighting projectors are state-of-the-art framing projectors the inherent beauty of paintings and sculptures with a brilliance and radiance never seen before, producing the so-called “lighted from within effect.”
Contour lighting projectors exceptional features a focused light beam that captures the silhouette of the art object and crisply defines its outline. The illumination is achieved through a powerful LED light engine that works alone (for a vivid brightness) or in concert with a dimmer (for a more subtle glimmer).

Contour lighting projectors deflect harmful ultraviolet and infrared rays and are therefore safe to illuminate prized art of practically any medium, including oil and water colors, acrylics, plaster and more. This suitability for a diverse range of materials is a significant advantage over natural sun exposure, which tends to fade colors and textiles over time. Projector luminance is also superior to fluorescent or halogen fixtures, which actually generate potentially harmful UV rays that can damage sensitive materials. Fluorescent illumination, like its incandescent counterpart, is also known for its mediocre rendering of colors.
Projectors are highly versatile and available in a range of designs, making them a perfect choice that fits within the technical parameters of just about any circumstance. Almost all versions are recessed into the ceiling and feature a near-flat cover plate that can be camouflaged with paint so as not to disturb the integrity of the ceiling. Each type necessitates apertures of minimal diameter. Some models require attic access for proper installation, while others can be mounted from below. Most fixtures of this type are relatively easy to install, but the guidance and/or installation by professionals is recommended for the illumination of three-dimensional art pieces.
