Installer Tip: Mount 30–50 cm above your artwork with a 30-degree angle for reduced glare and even spread.

Smart Design Details

Built with a durable satin finish, this light stays stylish with minimal upkeep. Thanks to the efficient 8W LED engine, you can enjoy long-lasting, low-heat output — great for domestic usage where wall safety is a concern.

Who It’s Perfect For

If you're an interior decorator, a homeowner with a love for curated spaces, an Airbnb host wanting to add class, or a gallery operator — this light's for you. Small businesses with reception areas or customer-facing walls will also benefit from the calm, inviting ambience it introduces.

Micro-summary: Designed for art lovers, decorators, and anyone wanting elegant feature lighting.

How It Compares to Alternatives

Unlike older halogen picture lights which get hot and use more power, the Asha uses an 8W LED drawing just a bit of juice while delivering 680 lumens in a warm white tone. If you're torn between daylight bulbs (6000K) and warm white (3000K), consider that warm white blends more naturally with woodwork, neutrals, and skin tones — which is especially useful for family portraits and classic decor themes.

Feature	Why It Matters
Warm White 3000K LED	Provides a soft, ambient glow that enhances natural colours
Satin Finish with Slim Profile	Looks timeless in contemporary or classic interiors
IP20 – Indoor Use	Safe for bedrooms, lounges and galleries — but stays away from damp spaces

What to Pair This With

Want to transform your whole space with lighting harmony? Pair your Asha Satin Picture Light with the Donna Matt White LED wall light to extend the 3000K tone to other corners of your room. If you're lighting a reading nook or a sideboard nearby, the Amelia White Satin Gold Table Lamp blends in beautifully and adds layered lighting. For larger feature walls, consider complementing with the sleek Curved White Indoor Wall Light for subtle uplighting.
