House of Troy Direct Wire Contemporary 9in 1-Light Picture Light | Chrome Metal | Living Room & Hallway Art Accent | 9 x 10 x 4.5 in | Model DC9-62

A 9-inch direct-wire picture light in chrome, designed to cast a clean, even glow over framed art in living rooms, hallways, and studies.

Part of House of Troy's Classic Contemporary collection, this picture light pairs a low-profile metal shade with a bright chrome finish that adds a crisp, modern accent to walls. The 9-inch shade directs light downward across the canvas, while the 4.5-inch square backplate mounts flush to the wall for a finished, built-in look.

Best for

• Living rooms and hallways with medium-sized framed art (up to about 24 inches wide)
• Home offices and studies where a focused accent light highlights a print or photograph
• Gallery walls that need a dedicated, adjustable accent without visible cords
• Bedrooms with a single statement piece above a dresser or reading chair

Not ideal for

• Very large canvases over 30 inches wide - the 9-inch shade may not cover the full width evenly
• Rental spaces or rooms without in-wall wiring, since this is a direct-wire fixture
• Bathrooms or damp locations - not rated for moisture exposure

How bright is it?

Uses one 40W T10 incandescent bulb (not included). Lumen output is not specified by the manufacturer, but a 40W T10 typically produces a warm accent glow - enough to illuminate a medium painting, not to light a whole room.

Light color and feel

With an incandescent T10 bulb, the light is warm white (around 2700K), similar to traditional household lighting. It flatters oil paintings, warm-toned prints, and wood frames. Bulb choice affects the final color temperature; a dimmable bulb and wall dimmer can soften the output for evening viewing.

Sizing and fit

Overall dimensions are 9 inches wide x 10 inches deep x 4.5 inches high, with a 4.5-inch square backplate. The 9-inch shade suits frames roughly 16-24 inches wide. The 10-inch extension projects the light forward from the wall, so allow clearance above the artwork. Works on standard 8-9 foot ceilings.

Frequently asked

Is the bulb included? No, one 40W T10 incandescent bulb is required and sold separately.

Is it dimmable? The fixture itself does not include a dimmer; dimming depends on using a compatible dimmable bulb and a wall dimmer switch.

Can I install this in a bathroom or outdoors? No, this picture light is not rated for damp or wet locations and should be used indoors in dry areas only.

What's the warranty? Warranty information is not specified by the manufacturer; please contact House of Troy for details.

How does chrome finish hold up? Chrome is durable and easy to clean with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve its mirror-like shine.
