House of Troy A14-71 Advent Picture Light, 14", Antique Brass

This is a perfect match for a painting. I used the third party 2700K LED lights, not the incandescent ones the vendor supplies, and it works wonderfully. Makes the picture "pop" as it should. Also it is light weight but reasonable quality and it attaches to the frame. The reason for the frame attachment is that it then does not light the frame up. The arm can be extended for the management of any highlights you may need. Overall it is a good bargain and arrived promptly. My only suggestion is to get the LED lights, since even 25W bulbs can run hot.

I think this is an attractive-looking, well-functioning, high-quality product and fairly priced. There are a couple of differences from the product description: the reflector is metallic silver-colored rather than white enamel, and bulbs are included. Both of these differences actually make the product better than described. There are two brightness options; this was not mentioned in the product description as far as I noticed but again, this enhances the product. I would definitely purchase this item again.

Did lots of research before purchasing. Wanted good quality, warm lighting adequate for a large painting. Worried about the cord, small sacrifice, love it.

Good antique brass finish. Two brightness settings. Bulbs WERE included which was unclear on Amazon. Adequate tilt / telescope / bendability to get the position just right. I mounted it with my own screws directly into brick, and it looks great. Even dealing with brick (drilling hole, plastic screw sleeve, etc.) I was done in ten minutes. Cord is off white with rolling "clicker" switch. I have a plug behind a large painting, so I just hid switch there and reach under the lower edge of the frame to the switch. No visible cord.

Attractive design good for illuminating wall art. (I used to illuminate a 18"W x 35"H painting and 27"W x 25"H litho.) The only problem is that the light uses a pair of 10T Standard base 25w florescent bulbs. Florescent, halogen & xenon bulbs are not great for illuminating artwork or on your pocket book (see below for more detail*). I replaced them with a two T10FIL5WD 5-Watt Dimmable Filament LED bulbs. The result was a bit stronger light without the wasted power. The newer filament LEDs have a look that is like the tungsten filament in incandescent bulbs.* Non-LED bulbs (florescent, halogen & xenon) give off a great amount of heat which may not be good for your artwork. These bulbs also give off UV rays which over time will fade your art. LED bulbs also last far longer than any of the other type bulbs (a little more expensive but pays for itself in the long run). Finally LED bulbs use a fraction of the power that most non-LED bulbs use (easier on the wallet). Most other bulbs waste up to 90% of the power consumed to produce heat and only 10% to produce light. LEDs use about 90% of the energy used to produce light and only about 10% is wasted as heat.

Replaced an old one that had started (quite literally) falling apart. This one fit on just like the old one - and we LOVE the two-level brightness built into the switch. It's nice to have the low-level "accent" light as well as the "Hey - look at me" level (rarely, but we do use it)

When I first got the light and mounted it to my painting, it looked great, and worked perfectly. After approximately one week, I went to turn it on and it would not light. I checked the bulbs and they were fine. Light would not come on. After further investigation it was a problem with the outlet. Love the light.

It is a really good quality light that is sturdy and a nice addition in my living room. It makes my picture overthe fireplace look absolutely wonderful as the light shines on it and enhances the look.
