Art Lighting

[Vertex]

Do you know of any lighting product used to light rectangular wall art?

Liton's SquareBeam Projector is the only product I know about.

Halo has a modular style light called connectix and two other rectangular lights in their span collection. Both are under the archetectual section of their catelogue. There are also a couple of other lights under their power trac category.

Here are a couple of other options if you are looking for a recessed framing projector.

MJC, Those look like good options, especially the Phantom type.

Have you ever installed them? Do you have a "ball park" idea how much it would cost?

Thank you for your input.

Depending on the options, the remodel housings w/trim will cost you around $1100-$1200 each. That price will double (sometimes more) by the time you factor in design, installation, and the aiming/focusing of the finished product. Of course, the artwork that this type of client owns is usually in the 5 or 6 figure range, so its all in perspective.
The installation of the housing is straightfoward, the time comsuming part can be in the adjustment of the lighted area of the art. If the art is a simple square or rectangle, this process is pretty easy using the "shutter method" of light control. If the object is irregular in shape, you will need to custom cut a brass template, which can be very tedious and time consuming to get right.
Either way, the completed project will give you a satisfying sense of accomplishment when you see it.
