House of Troy Contemporary 16in 2-Light CA Compliant Picture Light | Polished Brass Metal Shade | Living Room & Gallery Art | 5-7 | Model C16-61-CA

A 16-inch plug-in picture light in polished brass, built to California compliance standards, for washing artwork and gallery walls in even light.

This is the CA-compliant version of the Contemporary picture light: the same slim polished brass shade and low-profile silhouette, fitted with B10 bulbs to meet California requirements. It plugs into a standard outlet with a 2-prong cord, so you can light a picture wall without an electrician, and the in-line hi-lo switch lets you soften the output in the evening.

Best for

• Living rooms and hallways with a picture wall or a single medium canvas
• Home galleries and stairwell art displays where hardwiring isn't practical
• Bedrooms and studies lighting a portrait or print above a dresser or desk
• California households that need a compliant plug-in picture light

Not ideal for

• Very large murals or oversized canvases - a 16-inch shade suits medium framed pieces
• Spaces where a visible cord running to an outlet is unacceptable
• Anyone expecting bulbs in the box - they are sold separately

How bright is it?

Lumen output is not specified by the manufacturer. The fixture takes two 25W or 40W B10 incandescent bulbs, so brightness depends on your bulb choice - 25W for a soft accent wash, 40W for stronger definition on darker artwork.

Light color and feel

Color temperature depends on the incandescent bulbs you install; the manufacturer does not specify a Kelvin rating. Traditional incandescent B10 bulbs give a warm, continuous glow that renders paint and photographic colors naturally. The in-line hi-lo switch steps brightness down without a wall dimmer.

Sizing and fit

The shade measures 16 inches wide and extends 5 to 7 inches from the wall, clearing most frame depths. Overall dimensions are 4 in W x 4 in D x 18 in H and the unit weighs 3 lbs. Best suited to standard 8-9 ft ceilings where the light sits above eye level.

Frequently asked
