House of Troy Direct Wire Picture Light

Yes, because this is a direct-wire, hardwired fixture, it requires a connection to your home's electrical supply. We recommend hiring a licensed electrician to ensure it is installed safely and correctly.

The fixture is 24 inches wide and uses four 15W incandescent bulbs, which provides a generous, even spread of light. It is specifically designed to illuminate medium-to-large scale artwork effectively.

While the fixture comes with incandescent bulbs, you can replace them with LED bulbs as long as they have a candelabra base and fit within the shade's dimensions. Using LEDs can help reduce heat output, which is often better for preserving artwork over time.

The satin nickel finish offers a soft, matte sheen that is neutral and versatile. Its slim-line profile is specifically designed to be unobtrusive, making it an excellent choice for modern, minimalist, or contemporary spaces where you want the art to be the focal point.

The backplate measures 2.75 inches by 4.5 inches. It is designed to fit over a standard electrical junction box, but you should verify your existing box dimensions to ensure a clean, flush fit against the wall.
