"I could not believe the dire quality and poor design of lights over the last 20 years, instead of technology improving design - Picture lights have been cheapened and viewed by lighting companies as (not much better than) a wall light with no regard for quality lighting of paintings. I relentlessly searched for my own collection and gallery to no avail.

As for today I still find that the basic requirement from a frame fitted picture light to light the painting with uniform illumination is still as illusive as 20 years ago"

The DeBruyne came the closest to good illumination but still required the light to be set up by the manufacturer - The obvious solution was to design lights that can be adjusted by the client to fit their varied collection. In the UK Linolite were one of the largest manufacturers using tubular bulbs but are no longer trading.

"to overcome this I decided to design my own picture lights"..Robert Hogarth

Robert Hogarth, an art dealer, found himself unable to find a supplier of picture lights that would live up to his exacting standards. After over 2 years of research and development, the Hogarth Fine Art Picture Light was born.

Manufactured to the highest standards, the patented Hogarth Picture lights are used across the globe, and are acknowledged as the most effective method of close illumination of paintings, whether they be old masters or modern classics.

Our lights are period in design with an accent on modern with up to date bulb technology emitting zero heat and UV. Hogarth Picture Lights are available in many finishes and suits all periods of art and frames.

Hogarth Pictures Lights, were created from a passion for art. Indulge your passion.
