{"product_id":"12-inch-led-picture-light-wall-mounted-art-light-by-visual-comfort-co","title":"Visual Comfort Dessau 12\" LED Picture Light | Sean Lavin | Black, Bronze, Brass or Nickel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Dessau 12 Picture Light by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort Modern is the definitive modern update to the traditional picture light — every fussy period detail stripped away and replaced with a clean, rectilinear aluminum bar, integrated LED, and an acrylic diffuser that spreads soft, even light directly onto the artwork below. The result is a picture light that disappears against the wall and lets the art do the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 12.8 inches long and just 3 inches tall, the Dessau 12 suits framed artwork up to approximately 24 inches wide. Its 12W integrated LED delivers 615 lumens at 3000K, 90 CRI — enough to properly illuminate a mid-size painting without blowing out detail or introducing color shift. The fixture extends 8.6 inches from the wall, providing the clearance needed to throw light at an effective angle onto the face of the artwork. Available in Nightshade Black, Dark Bronze, and Natural Brass (a living finish that develops a warm patina over time), the Dessau 12 reads as a refined architectural detail rather than a light source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It Works in Your Space\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPicture lighting is one of the most overlooked elements of a well-composed interior. The right fixture illuminates without competing — the Dessau does exactly that. Its slim profile and considered proportions make it as appropriate in a minimal modern gallery-wall setting as in a more traditional bedroom or hallway with a single hero piece. Pair with an ELV or TRIAC dimmer (120V) or 0-10V dimmer (277V) to tune the light level precisely to the artwork and ambient conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sean Lavin | \u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dessau | \u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Visual Comfort Modern (Visual Comfort \u0026amp; Co., Houston, TX) | ETL Listed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 12.8\" | Extension from wall: 8.6\" | Height: 3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinishes: Nightshade Black | Dark Bronze | Natural Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight Source: Integrated LED — 12W, 615 lumens, 3000K, 90 CRI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage: 120V or 277V (specify at checkout)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimming: TRIAC\/ELV (120V) | 0-10V (277V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiffuser: Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation Rating: Indoor | Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJunction Box: Requires 2×4\" single gang box (goof plate for standard box included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListing: ETL Listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How wide an artwork does the Dessau 12 suit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: As a general rule, your picture light should measure approximately half the width of the frame below it.
