ABSTRACT:
A lighting fixture for illuminating hanging works of art has an enlarged reflector with a planar front section extending at a carefully chosen angle. A curved portion of the reflector has a large enough radius to permit the use of a compact fluorescent bulb with a separate or self-contained ballast. The fluorescent bulb preferably emits light in the daylight color temperature range. With the compact fluorescent bulb and the planar front section, an increased number of lumens are uniformly distributed over the object to be illuminated. The reflector is optionally provided with different types of reflective material to alter the quality of the light reflected and the reflector may be specially adapted to accept a number of different reflective materials. The fixture can be easily constructed of extruded material and is provided with all of the features for placement necessary to illuminate hanging works of art either individually or as a wall washer to illuminate a complete wall of art or bookshelves of any length.
