The Dessau 36" Picture Light by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort Modern is the large-format artwork lighting solution in the Dessau family — a 36-inch LED bar with 90 CRI output designed for canvases, large photography prints, and wide artwork that standard 18–24" picture lights don't adequately cover. The clean architectural arm mounts flush to the wall, and the integrated LED strip delivers even illumination across the full span with no hot spots or falloff at the edges. Tilting head allows beam angle adjustment to match the projection distance to the artwork below.

Available in Nightshade Black, Polished Nickel, and Natural Brass in 120V and 277V. 3000K, 90 CRI. ETL listed. Five-year warranty. Free shipping at MetropolitanDecor.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What artwork size does the Dessau 36 cover?
A: The 36-inch bar illuminates artwork up to approximately 36–48 inches wide with even coverage. For wider pieces (48"+ canvases), position the fixture slightly back from the wall to expand the beam spread, or use two Dessau 18s spaced evenly.

Q: What is the difference between the Dessau 36 and the Plural Dome 24?
A: The Dessau is a linear strip light for wide artwork coverage; the Plural Dome 24 is a narrower precision fixture with 95+ CRI (vs 90) and a crystal optic diffuser. The Plural Dome is the higher-CRI choice for color-critical artwork; the Dessau is the wider-coverage choice for large pieces where span matters more than extreme color accuracy.
