House of Troy Contemporary 9in 1-Light Picture Light | Satin Brass Metal Shade | Living Room & Gallery Art Lighting | 4 x 5 x 11 in | Model C9-51

A 9-inch plug-in picture light in satin brass, designed to cast even, adjustable light across paintings, prints, and gallery walls.

The Contemporary picture light keeps a low profile while doing a very specific job: lighting art without glare. The satin brass finish is soft and warm, closer to a brushed gold than a high-polish brass, so it blends with wood frames and traditional interiors. The 9-inch shade tilts to direct light exactly where you want it, and the plug-in cord means no hardwiring required.

Best for

• Living rooms and hallways with framed art 12-24 inches wide, mounted above the frame
• Home galleries and stairwells where hardwiring isn't practical
• Bedrooms used as reading nooks with a small print or photo above a dresser
• Offices and studies with a single framed piece behind a desk

Not ideal for

• Very large canvases wider than 24 inches - the 9-inch shade won't cover the full width evenly
• Bathrooms or outdoor areas - this fixture is not rated for damp or wet locations
• Spaces where a visible cord is unacceptable - this is a plug-in model with a 2-prong cord

How bright is it?

Lumen output not specified by manufacturer. The fixture takes one 25W or 40W T10 incandescent bulb, which gives a focused pool of light suitable for accenting art, not for lighting a whole room.

Light color and feel

Light color depends on the bulb you choose. A warm white incandescent bulb (around 2700K) will give a soft, gallery-like glow that flatters oil paintings and warm-toned prints. The in-line hi-lo switch lets you toggle between two brightness levels.

Sizing and fit

The shade measures 9 inches wide, and the fixture extends 5 to 7 inches from the wall, so it stands off enough to clear most frame depths. Overall dimensions are 4 inches wide by 5 inches deep by 11 inches high. It suits rooms with standard 8-9 foot ceilings and works best when mounted 2-4 inches above the top of the frame.
