Trave 24 LED Art Light by Visual Comfort & Co

The Trave 24 LED Art Light is Mick De Giulio's compact picture light — a 24-inch horizontal arm with an integrated LED that mounts above a painting or artwork and directs warm 2700K light downward across the surface with the even, controlled distribution that professional art lighting demands. De Giulio's design approach with Trave is architectural precision applied to one of the most functionally specific lighting categories: a picture light should illuminate the artwork, not itself. The Trave's arm is slim, the hardware minimal, and the LED output is controlled to wash the artwork surface evenly from edge to edge without hot spots, spill, or glare. In Natural Brass or Nightshade Black, it reads as a considered design element on the wall above the frame rather than an obvious utility fixture.

Integrated LED at 2700K and 90 CRI. Dimmable. Available in Natural Brass and Nightshade Black. Standard picture-light mounting hardware included. Five-year warranty.

Coordinates with the Trave 36 (MDPC793) for a scaled approach — the 24 for paintings up to 30 inches wide, the 36 for larger works.

Designed by Mick De Giulio for Visual Comfort Modern.

Frequently Asked Questions

What painting size is the Trave 24 designed for?
The 24-inch arm suits paintings and framed artwork up to approximately 30 inches wide. For larger works, the Trave 36 provides proportionally appropriate coverage.

What is the correct mounting height above the frame?
Mount the picture light so the arm projects from the wall 2–4 inches above the top edge of the frame, angled downward to illuminate the artwork surface evenly.

Is the LED output warm enough for artwork?
Yes — 2700K at 90 CRI renders art materials with high accuracy while maintaining the warm, flattering light that makes oil paintings and photography look their best. Higher CRI (95+) is available for museum-grade requirements, but 90 CRI suits most residential and hospitality applications.

Is a dimmer switch included?
No — a compatible dimmer must be purchased separately.
