Situ Rechargeable Micro Cordless LED Picture Light

A tiny cordless picture light that simply rests on top of the frame. The Situ Rechargeable Micro needs no screws, no outlet and no electrician: set it on the frame, choose low, medium or high, and recharge it every few weeks. It is built in Sarasota, Florida.

We specify it for small and medium artwork in places where wiring is not practical: bookcases, hallways, bedrooms and rented homes. Its small brass or aluminum head reads as a quiet accent in Transitional, Modern and traditional rooms.

Where It Works Best

• Bookcases and shelves: small framed works and photographs between books
• Bedrooms and nurseries: a low, warm glow on a favorite print with nothing to plug in
• Rentals and older homes: plaster or brick walls you would rather not drill or wire
• Retail and hospitality: small artwork in boutiques, hotel corridors and restaurant booths

How It Works

• Charge it with the included charger (about 4.5 hours), then rest it on top of the frame.
• Press the button to step through low, medium and high.
• On low it runs for up to 45 hours before the next charge.
• Lift it off to recharge; there is nothing to mount or remove.

Pick the Right Model

• 2-Light (11 in arm): artwork up to 24 × 40 in (61 × 102 cm) with the heads aimed narrow, or 36 × 30 in (91 × 76 cm) aimed wide

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it need any installation?

No. The Rechargeable Micro rests on the top edge of the frame. There is no mounting hardware, no wiring and no outlet involved, which is why it suits rentals and finished walls.

Which size suits my artwork?

Use the Short 1-Light for pieces up to 18 × 24 in, the 1-Light for up to 24 × 30 in, and the 2-Light for up to 24 × 40 in tall pieces or 36 × 30 in wide ones.

How often will I recharge it?

It depends on brightness. A 1-Light runs about 45 hours on low, 30 on medium and 20 on high, so a few evenings a week on low means charging every few weeks.

Which color temperature should I pick for a home?

Situ recommends 3000K for most art and rooms. Choose 2700K for warm traditional rooms and oil paintings, or 4000K for cool, contemporary spaces and black-and-white photography.

Can I use it in a shop or hotel?

Yes. Because it needs no wiring, it is practical for boutiques, hotel corridors and restaurants where artwork moves. It is for indoor, dry locations.

Can I return it?

Every order is final sale. Check the size, 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.
