Faro Magritte 300 Picture Wall Light - Black

A quietly confident way to light your art

The Faro Magritte 300 Picture Wall Light in black is a slim, wall mounted picture light designed to draw the eye to whatever hangs beneath it. A compact rectangular backplate holds a single cantilevered arm that reaches out to a fine tubular head, keeping the fitting close to the wall and clear of the frame. Its lines are deliberately minimal, so the light does the talking and the artwork stays the focus.

The black finish

This version wears a matt black finish over its steel and aluminium body, a tone that recedes against darker walls and gallery hangs while reading as a crisp graphic line against pale plaster. Where the old gold finish in the range leans warm and traditional, black is the more understated, contemporary choice, at home alongside monochrome prints, framed photography and modern canvases. At 300mm across it is the shorter option in the Magritte family, well suited to smaller and medium sized pictures rather than wide panoramic works.

How it works

Light comes from an integrated 6W LED, so there is no separate bulb to buy or replace, and the LED is built to last the life of the fitting. Faro lists a warm 3000K colour temperature and an output of around 380 lumens, which is gentle and flattering across a picture surface rather than harsh. The integrated LED is not dimmable, so it runs at a single steady level. The head tilts on its pivot so you can angle the beam to suit the height and position of the frame, and the required driver is supplied in the box. This is a hardwired, mains powered fitting. Moonlight Design recommends installation by a registered NICEIC electrician.

Where it works best

The Magritte 300 is made for lighting a favourite painting, print or photograph in a hallway, living room, study or above a fireplace. It also works nicely over a framed mirror or a run of smaller pieces on a feature wall. Because it sits neatly and stays discreet, it suits both period homes wanting a subtle accent and modern interiors after a clean, architectural detail.

Does the Faro Magritte 300 need a separate driver?
