Picture lights and mirror lights: how to choose

Should I choose a picture light or a mirror light?

Choose a picture light to light artwork, or a mirror light to light your face.

A picture light suits a painting, photograph or wall art. A mirror light suits a bathroom mirror, dressing table or wardrobe mirror. A picture cum mirror light can suit either use; check the individual model's intended use.

Which style suits my painting or mirror?

Choose a style that sits comfortably with your frame, furniture and room.

A simple bar suits a plain mirror and a modern room. It keeps the shape of the fitting quiet. A traditional picture light suits an ornate frame or classic furniture.

Crystal details suit a decorative dressing area when you want the fitting to be part of the display. Look at the whole wall before deciding. A small photograph may need a quieter design than a large framed painting.

For lights elsewhere on that wall, the wall light buying guide helps you compare styles across the room.

Which colour or finish should I choose?

Choose the finish after the style, using nearby handles, taps and frames as a reference.

Antique brass has an aged look for traditional settings. Gold gives a yellow metal tone, while rose gold has a pinker tone. White suits a light wall when you want a quieter fitting. Chrome has a bright, reflective look that can suit bathroom fittings.

Multi-finish options let you compare different looks within a design. Check the selected finish on the product page before ordering. The body finish describes the fitting; it does not tell you whether the light is warm or white.

What size picture or mirror light should I buy?

Match a picture light to the frame width, and choose a mirror light around where your face needs light.

For a picture light, a bar about half the painting's width is a good starting point. Centre it above the frame. The product page gives the length; compare it with your own measurements.

Mirror lights can sit above the mirror or on both sides at about eye level. About 1.5 to 1.7 metres is a starting point, adjusted for the people using it. Lights on both sides leave fewer shadows on the face.

Check space beside cabinets and above the frame before ordering. Use the mirror light finder to explore suitable options.

Which mirror light suits a bathroom mirror?

A slim bar or tube light above the mirror is a common choice for a bathroom mirror.

Match the finish to your taps and fittings; chrome and white are quieter choices. Measure the mirror width and compare it with the light's length on the product page. Neutral white helps skin colours look natural.

Plan the wire point with your electrician before the mirror goes up, and have the electrician fit the light.

Which light colour suits paintings and mirrors?

Warm white suits paintings, while neutral white is a useful starting point at a mirror.

About 2700K to 3000K gives warm white, suited to paintings and wooden or brass finishes. About 4000K gives neutral white, helping skin and make-up colours look more natural at a mirror. Choose according to the main use of the space.

A 3-in-1 colour switch model changes between warm, neutral and cool when switched off and on at the wall. Light colour options vary, check the product page. Do not assume every design changes colour or supports dimming.

Most designs have the LED built in. Check the model's light source and ask about replacement arrangements before ordering. Browse LED picture lights if artwork is your main focus.

What should I plan before fitting the light?

Plan the wire point behind the light before the mirror or painting goes up.

Agree on the position with your electrician before plaster and paint. Share the chosen light's dimensions and fitting details before fixing the mirror or artwork.

For a replacement, check the existing wire position against the new fitting. Confirm any dimming requirements for the specific model. Warranty depends on the model, so check its terms before ordering.
