Situ Hardwired Vision LED Picture Light for Wall Dimmers

A picture light wired into the house, with no cord below the frame. The Situ Hardwire Vision is the slim Vision bar with its driver installed in the wall, so it dims from your wall dimmer or smart home system along with the rest of the room. It is built in Sarasota, Florida.

We specify it for new builds and renovations, formal living and dining rooms, and offices, galleries and hospitality projects where a visible cord or a remote is not acceptable.

Where It Works Best

• Living and dining rooms: the main painting on a scene with the room lights
• New builds and remodels: art lighting planned in with the electrical
• Offices and boardrooms: controlled from the room keypad
• Galleries and hotels: clean installations with no cords

How It Works

• An electrician installs the Situ driver in a 4-gang electrical box or similar enclosure near the art.
• The light mounts on brackets above the frame and slides up to 5 in to set the height.
• It dims from a customer-supplied 0-10V or phase (TRIAC) wall dimmer or smart home system.
• Pivot the bar 60° to aim the light down the canvas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who installs it?

A licensed electrician. The Situ driver sits in a 4-gang box (or a similar enclosure) close to the art, and the light is powered only through that driver.

Which dimmers work with it?

Use your own wall dimmer or smart home system. Order the 0-10V or the phase (TRIAC) driver to match it; it pairs with common systems such as Lutron Caséta.

Which length do I need?

Measure the art. Up to 35 in tall (Standard optic): 17 in covers 36 in of width, 30 in covers 48, 43 in covers 66, 56 in covers 86. Up to 60 in tall (Tall optic): 23, 37, 52 and 72 in of width.

When should I plan it?

Ideally during construction or a remodel, when the electrician can place the box and wiring behind the artwork position.

3000K or 2700K?

Most rooms and most art look right at 3000K. Pick 2700K for a warmer, candle-like tone with oils, wood paneling or gilded frames.

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.
