Lighting: Picture Light Technology Integrates Style and Art Lighting
We know art lighting inside out, and picture lights are definitely IN. While picture lights are often found in hotels, restaurants and other toney public places, more frequently these days you will find picture lights hard at work in elegant homes. Many homes have framed art or treasured family photos (whether they be framed and matted photographs of the “ancestors” or the wedding pix, the graduations, prom date photos, vacation memories, the grand kids, etc.). Of course what you put on your walls, like every other décor choice you make, makes an important statement. Once your art is on the walls, art lighting helps add tonality, richness and focus on your art but also can add softness and glimmer to the room.
Christmas and gift giving occasions are often times when family portraits are given as gifts, in frames. Not as many of these framed portraits come with a picture light, but why not? Or if the picture was given as a gift last year, already framed, why not add to it by giving the picture light this year?
An art light adds a lot to your home. Just as any quality lighting fixture adds polish and presence to the room, these picture lite beauties are shining stars day or night, on or off. When designers look at rooms from the point of view of lighting picture light and the artwork it illuminates are great finishing touches. The fine finishes available in House of Troy picture lights are renowned for their constancy, quality and hand burnished beauty. Our daughter goes for the hand-rubbed mahogany bronze finish all through her home, whether big lights or small picture lights. The constancy adds immeasurably to the unity of her design and the wholeness of the house.
Perfect picture lighting can be somewhat of an art in itself – you can try an LED picture light which will provide a different tonality of lighting than incandescent or fluorescent. The technology House of Troy has invested in to design optimum, conservation quality LED arrays for their slim-line model picture lights allows for super bright LED light, perfectly angled towards the artwork. My very favorite art light is the SLED20-71, a slim-line style shade that is 20” long, with an LED array. The reason I love this lamp so much is that the style of the lamp is antique brass, the line of the lamp is so sleek and yet so timeless, and the technology is energy efficient, light-years ahead, LED light at its finest.
If you are a traveling artist, say with craft shows or community artist gatherings, be sure to check out the battery picture lights that are just coming into their own, with their own breakthrough technologies that allow for superior light and longer battery life. The hugely popular AB7-61 is a polished brass Advent picture light with a 7” shade. Another popular picture lite is the RT8-1, an 8” shade in a smoothly painted gold finish. If you value a picture light whose batteries last for 45 hours, try the ABF14-71 – it uses a fluorescent bulb and not only does it not get warm, it casts a remarkable white pure light.
So consider a picture light when you upgrade your environs. Energy efficient art lighting can serve multiple purposes when you are looking to add layers of light to your home.

Because something like that wouldn't cause the yellow light of death (which is what you should have filled in as the problem) it shouldn't matter too much. If it does, then you're screwed and there's nothing you can do unless you want to try again and glue it down.
My friend sent his in when the chrome was chipped off (only a small piece) and he got off scott-free.
Danielle,
I had the exact same pink tile in one of our last houses. It was also an early 60's brick ranch and I DID grow to love it!! I often wish we had never sold it. We had the same pink tile half way up the walls. A large white bathtub and luckily, a solid white tile floor. We had the ancient old medicine cabinet with lots of bright chrome and an old timey light over it. I replaced towel racks, toothbrush holders soap dishes and switch plates with matching shiny chrome and it looked great. What I really miss is the great oversized bathtub…..we didn't even have a shower in it and we, too, all had to share. For some crazy reason, it seemed to be easier to keep clean when we all shared and company had to use it, too! Kept a dustbuster mounted on the end of the cabinet and went through hundreds of lysol & windex wipes! lol
