About

The Contemporary picture light can be cut to any length which enables us to illuminate any size of art work.

Hogarths Contemporary light for paintings and interiors is a stylish, elegant, new concept light featuring innovative modular design and incorporating Hogarths L.E.D. technology.

The bulbs emit zero heat and U.V. (ultra violet) so our picture lights are totally safe for illuminating fine art.

Image shows our Contemporary picture light finished in Antique Bronze in The Savoy Hotel foyer. After a £220 Million refurbishment Hogarth were chosen to design and supply picture lights to this world renowned hotel. An official unveiling of an art work showing the 1000 strong flotilla of the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant took place in the Savoy Lobby on 6th September 2012. The art work was 3.2m long and 1.7m high and covered with non-reflective glass. Our shutter system controls the illumination only onto the art work.

Contemporary Picture Light at The Savoy

Complements all art works and classical interiors

The Contemporary picture light is made to suit any size of art work.

This unique system enables picture lights to be constructed to any length to suit paintings of any size and style.

At 12 volts the system has no wiring, bulbs simply slide into position and can be added with ease.

As the arms are very fine we can make them to suit any situation, low ceiling heights, beams etc. Let us know your requirements. Contact us for a quote.

The image shows a photograph from a client. Our brief was to keep the arm protrusion as short as possible. We designed the picture light to do this and the illumination is very good over the entire piece.


Available in a number of finishes or in any colour you require, just let us know your desired colour and we will match it.

Like our Contemporary picture light, the Classic picture light has patented features enabling the illumination to be adjusted to fit the canvas.

The picture light can also be used with our ‘Invisible Wire’ system, meaning no need to channel walls, simply stick the wire to the wall and decorate over.

The picture light slides into a bracket which can be fitted to the frame or wall. This allows the picture light to be easily removed.

Hogarth supplied picture lights to the Ironmongers Hall, Barbican, London. The paintings above were over 5 feet wide. Our Contemporary picture light was finished to a similar colour as the panelling and custom made to suit the painting width, with arm protrusions to ensure the illumination fully covered the canvas.
