Lighting for wall art.
« on: July 06, 2008, 04:28:36 pm »

I would like to know where I could get more information? I am wanting to display my photos with lighting that will be as close to natural daylight as I can. I do not want to spend a lot of money. I  have one piece of wall art that only shows well with indirect sunlight I am looking for something that I could place on a fireplace mantle that would light a print that is that is 24 X 36 inches of print size.
Thanks for your time and help, Mike

Google for Solux. They have different color temperature halogen bulbs, for example 4700K would be close to neutral daylight.

Agreed, Solux is ideal. Might want to go with a slightly warmer bulb for "gallery" like work.

I use Solux lamps also but , mine are 4700K.Very white looking light. They also make 3500K,4100K and also 5000K.You might want to look at 3500K.
