Hi
I'm looking for a lighting system which will illuminate a wall which faces onto a dimly lit corridor and has artwork on it. The length of the display is approx 7ft and the height is 4ft. I have read around at the options and would really appreciate some feedback on this before I speak to an electrician.
The difficulty (I believe) is that there is only one horizontal plane at the top of the wall that I can fit the light source to. This is the underside of a box (containing a roll down shutter mechanism) which projects about 10 inches from the wall. Therefore, the light system I fit to this will mean a light shining close to the art work.
I have looked at track lighting but I am worried that the spotlights would be too close to the art work to create a broad, wall wash light effect. So I was wondering about an LED batten. I've seen the Sylvania LED batten model (at Screwfix) which says it has a reflective cover to help direct the light.
There is a plug socket nearby so I'm looking for a system that can be plugged into this. I'd also like it to be low energy use and low cost to run and maintain.
Any thoughts or alternative suggestions would be very much appreciated.
