Picture Lighting

Lighting pictures is a great way to accentuate the color and detail of your artwork. Many homeowners are victims of the myth that natural sunlight is the best way to illuminate pictures. Nothing could be further from the truth. Ultraviolet and Infrared radiation from the sun can damage your artwork and turn a picture lighting project into a complete disaster. Moving your pictures out of the path of these damaging rays may be the best decision you ever make.

Insufficient light fixtures do not make up for this problem. Many bulbs produce ultraviolet radiation and can produce the same type of damage that would occur, if you left your pictures hanging under natural sunlight. Homeowners need to find a superior lighting manufacturer, who can offer a variety of picture light products that are safe, effective, and energy efficient.

Most art galleries, consultants, and homeowners tend to use surface mounted lights. These lights are usually attached to the frame leaving cords exposed or concealed depending upon the location of the receptacle. The light produced by these fixtures floods the artwork and can produce a high level of heat that may be harmful to your picture. Homeowners are better off going with an MR16 bulb fixture, which has dichroic reflectors that eliminate harmful UV and infrared radiation.

RLLD has illumination products that use this type of bulb. We have projectors that produce a focused source of illumination over your artwork giving your artwork a "lighted from within" look. These projectors have a 75-watt MR16 halogen based lamps originally designed for the fiber optic industry. They come with special UV filters that eliminate any harmful rays from reaching your picture. These projectors come in a variety of housings for different looks.

We also have single, double, and triple arm lighting fixtures to accent your works of art. These lights come in a variety of finishes depending upon your color preference. RLLD offers many different styles of picture lighting as well. We have light fixtures that are perfect for traditional, contemporary, and even Old World settings. All will add a touch of soft brilliance to your home environment.

Residential Landscape Lighting and Design's picture lights do not stop here. We offer cordless versions, which are battery operated for your convenience. These lights are not only good for highlighting artwork, but can also be used to illuminate your piano, sheet music, and music stand. These lights come in a variety of styles and finishes to accommodate your home environment.

Natural sunlight has always been considered to be the best source of illumination, when it comes to picture lighting. This common myth has plagued homeowners all over the world and has resulted in catastrophic results. Many bulbs also produce harmful UV and infrared rays over your artwork, but there are energy efficient viable options that have built in protection from these problems. Residential Landscape Lighting and Design offers superior picture lighting products from a variety of well-known manufacturers, who have taken the steps to ensure your illumination project obtains the best results.

Recessed Lighting
There are only a few different types of light bulbs to choose from, and each one is distinctive in terms of the amount of brightness and heat it delivers.

Horse Track Outdoor Arena Equestrian Lighting
Outdoor lighting for horse arenas and equestrian facilities are becoming more sophisticated every day. In the old days, horse arenas and outdoor rodeo arenas were lighted with outdoor flood lights, halogen lights or simply mercury vapor barn lights. These forms of outdoor arena lighting did not have the lumen output or performance to properly illuminate arenas, holding pens, stables or horse training areas. In fact, all of these light sources are outdated, ineffective and inefficient. The...
