Anyone use this to light a Thomas Kincade painting?

Would not recommend it, the quality of light is not sufficient, I would pick a better quality light.

Excusez moi !!! Un "Thomas Kincaid". I have two LED picture lights over my contemporary collection. Mostly oil. I find that I can leave the light on several hours at a time. It is easy on the canvass, does not heat up in addition to create a lovely atmosphere at night. Am thinking of purchasing one more. I have not tried it on glass framed aquarelle but it should work as well with a no glare glass or whatever they use these days. Absolutely love it and entirely satisfied with my purchase. Am pretty sure you will too. PS Initially I thought that it was heavy and that the batteries would be difficult to change, but not at all.The ability to adjust the hight is also a good feature.

I tried it with the fluorescent type of bulb and they flickered. It did work with an incandescent flood, but I wanted something that used less energy. So, I removed it and it is sitting in a box until I can figure out what I want to do with it--give it away or use it.

No definitely not, way too weak a light for this size picture. You'd need a wider span light. Very flourescant blue typeLight so not great on an oil painting.

This light is exceedingly dim. If you want your pieces properly illuminated, I'd just look someplace else. In short, I don't think one is enough. Probably two wouldn't be, either.

I've just always used the electronic lighting button. But I think you can stick a match through a hole if you really want to.

I would be very carful as drawing light is very fragile. Get a sturdy drawing case to use. I hope this helps.

There is a converter for flame light to regular light bulb, can you use these to get a brighter light?

I have no idea! Might check mightlylight.com. Perhaps they might have ideas.

not alone. I had some success with it with CFL's only when there was also an incandescent bulb on the same circuit. My switch eventually failed.

Hi Gabriella. I think you can but I would check with the people who make the TaoTronics grow light to make sure. I was using the taotronics light with the woods lamp and the light started turning off and on and making a noise. So I stopped using it. I tried just some regular lights bulbs to see where the problem was, in the light or the lamp, and it's in the lamp. My lamp has some wiring issues. So I hope this helps you. Have a good day.

I am sorry I cannot answer your question but I suggest you e-mail Westinghouse at their web site. They will answer. When I received this light one of the bulbs burned out almost immediately. I e-mailed them about it and they sent two replacement bulbs at no charge. Also this light came with the plug put on backwards so I had to bend the end to plug in . I neglected to tell them about that. Obviously they are not made as well as they could be but it does put a nice light on our painting once the bulb was replaced and we got it plugged in correctly.

Yes, that's what I was using it for - as uplighting on some trees in the backyard. But unfortunately I had to return it because rain water accumulated inside the bulb and it shorted out. Whether that was due to the socket fixture not fitting well, the rubber seal not being tight enough or some other reason - I don't really know.

I would have to say no. It's more of a spotlight. It's good for lighting up a table top for when you're doing crafts or sewing, but it wouldn't light the whole room.

I rewired mine to make it a plug in then added a extension cord dimmer switch and it lights up the room very well. I have it as a hanging chandelier over a lounge chair that I use for reading so I needed the brightness. I am sure it will give you the brightness you are looking for but the dimmer gives it more flexibility.

No! I tried that in mine and they all blew. You have to use candelabra bulbs. But I do love this piece . It really dresses up a ceiling fan.

Yes. The battery is not long lasting if you leave it on for long periods but it lights a portrait or any painting quite well.
