Situ Direct Connect Vision Junction-Box Picture Light for Wall Dimmers

A picture light that wires to a junction box like a sconce and dims with the room. The Situ Direct Connect Vision mounts its slim bar on a compact backplate fastened to a junction or switch box, then dims from your TRIAC, ELV, MLV or 0-10V wall dimmer or lighting control system. It is made to order in Sarasota, Florida.

We recommend it where artwork hangs flush to the wall, over bookcases and in niches, and in any room run from wall keypads or a lighting control system.

Where It Works Best

• Art hung flush to the wall: nothing goes behind the frame
• Bookcases and shelving: a precise wash over books and objects
• Niches and sculpture: light aimed exactly where it is needed
• Hotels, offices and galleries: clean, permanent installations

How It Works

• A licensed electrician fastens the backplate to a junction or switch box and connects it.
• The 11½ in arm carries the bar out over the artwork; nothing installs behind the frame.
• It dims from the wall dimmer or lighting control system you choose (TRIAC, ELV, MLV or 0-10V).
• Pivot the bar 180° or more to aim the light.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is it installed?

Your electrician screws the backplate to a standard junction or switch box and wires it to the dimmer circuit. The frame hangs as usual with nothing behind it.

Which dimmers work with it?

Your own wall dimmer or lighting control system, on TRIAC, ELV, MLV or 0-10V dimming.

Which length do I need?

Measure the art. Up to 35 in tall (Standard optic): 15 in covers 40 in of width, 28 in covers 54, 40 in covers 70, 53 in covers 86. Up to 60 in tall (Tall optic): 30, 44, 58 and 72 in of width.

Can it light a bookcase instead of a painting?

Yes. The arm and 180°+ pivot let you wash a bookcase, shelving or a niche with sculpture as easily as a canvas.

How long does it take to ship?

It is made to order in Sarasota and ships within 3–5 business days.

Can I return it?

Every order is final sale. Check the length, optic, finish and color temperature against your wall and artwork first; send us the measurements or a photo and we will confirm the choice with you.
