Bring your pictures to life
with The Gallery Lighting System

 

Choosing the correct picture lighting is crucial to any art and photographic display.

By utilising the same track that hangs art, the Gallery Lighting System offers features and benefits not seen with traditional lighting methods.

Now anyone can achieve a professional art display using The Gallery Lighting System.

• FLEXIBLE – Position the lights anywhere along The Gallery System track where the lighting system is installed. When the art is moved, simply move the lights to suit.

• ECONOMICAL – Not only is the system affordable, low wattage LED lamps are used to keep running costs low.

• EASY TO INSTALL – Being a 12-volt system, it is designed for DIY installation.

However, if modifications and accessories such as dimmers are to be installed on the 240-volt side of the transformer or the transformer is to be hardwired, it is imperative that this work be carried out by a licensed electrician.

• UNOBTRUSIVE – The Gallery Lighting System is designed so your art is the centre piece of the display not the light wands.

Additionally, the LED lamps recommended for use with The Gallery Lighting System have no light throwback to distract from viewing the art.

• SAFE – The low heat emission from the LED lamps will never damage artwork.

• PROFESSIONAL – The Gallery Lighting System delivers a professional look and feel to any display.

• MADE IN AUSTRALIA – The light wands are manufactured in Gallery Systems’ Sunshine Coast factory, in Queensland, Australia.

• Lifetime warranty on The Gallery System track.

YES! When displaying art, it is extremely important to incorporate the correct lighting!

 

Our track lighting systems for art offer an entirely new way to light art for picture hanging. Low voltage light wands lock onto the same track that hangs your art. Like the hanging systems they can be easily moved to any position on the track. Just lock them on and they light up your picture.

Because our system places the lamps close to the art, lighting is much more effective. Our lighting system only uses either 20 watt diachroic lamps or 10 watt LED lamps for an even bigger energy savings.

All of the Gallery Systems products are designed and assembled in Australia. We offer quality, time saving and affordable solutions for picture hanging and lighting your art.

Bring your artwork to life!

When it comes to displaying your artwork choosing the right lighting solution is crucial.

Even in the most well lit rooms, the finer details in a piece can become lost.

With art lighting that is specifically designed, every piece of work gets the attention it deserves. Because our lighting places the light directly on your artwork, it really brings it to life.

 

How it works:

Low voltage light wands lock onto the same track that hangs your art. A flat power cable fitted into the top section of the track carries 12 volt current along the track from a transformer. (Available as an add-on option with Standard Track only).

The light wands simply lock onto the track at any point and light up so it’s really easy to move the light wands when you move your paintings or images.

Q & A –
The Picture Hanging
Lighting System

 

Yes it can, though only to ‘The Picture Hanging System Gallery System’ track.  The Slimline track is not designed to be used with the lighting system.

A 300VA transformer will run up to 12 x 20 watt dichroic lamps over a distance of 15m.  Alternatively a 300va transformer will run up to 18 x 7 watt LED lamps over a distance of 20m.  We also offer a 105 watt transformer which will run up to 4 lights over a distance of 3m.

No.  They may damage the system.

You are not legally obliged to use a licensed contractor with low voltage systems.  Simple jobs can be installed by a handyman.  Each transformer comes with a 240volt plug and lead which allows you to use and existing power point.  If however you would like your system hardwired it must be installed by a licensed contractor.  If in doubt use a contractor.

Sharp probes on the light wand penetrate the cable in the track to make contact.  This allows you to unclip the light wand and reposition on the track.

The power cable bends around the corners.  Special corner covers fit over the track to hide the blue power cable

The lamp slides along the curved stainless steel rods of the light wand so you can aim the light anywhere from 60cm below the track.  The lamps do not point side to side. This is not necessary as the light wand is easily unlocked from the track and can be repositioned to light art in another position.

No.  The system is designed as feature lighting for your art so you will still need a central light fitting or similar to provide an overall level of lighting in the room.

No.  Providing the correct lamps are used.  Poor quality or incorrect lamps can cause problems of excess heat and ultra violet light which may fade colours.

We recommend and sell Precise Constant Colour lamps by G.E.  These lamps are used in major public galleries and G.E. guarantee that the light from these lamps will not damage your artwork.  We also offer LED lamps which are also ideal for lighting art as they will not cause damage
