Situ Lighting: Cordless and Rechargeable LED Art and Picture Light - Rechargeable Micro Series - 3000K - USA Made

The media could not be loaded.  This is a great product, if expensive.I had been looking for exactly this product for some time. The significantly cheaper options are made of plastic, weight a lot, and use cumbersome replaceable batteries.I've included some pictures of the product operating in total darkness, as well as a comparison of the same picture with no light, the low brightness setting, and the high brightness setting. I find that the low light level is perfect, particularly as a majority of my pieces are framed behind glass and I want to minimize glare. On canvases of course there is no problem.The head is fixed. you might be able to re-angle with a screwdriver, but I have not tried yet. ***UPDATE 10/17 The seller contacted me after seeing my review and let me know that the head IS adjustable. Super!*** But overall it is a very thoughtfully designed product, and works on a majority of frames quite easily. The light is very neutral - I find the hue they have settled on does a great job of bringing out the natural colors in the artwork. I have used this with acrylics, pencils, and mixed-media pieces and it works well everywhere.I may be addicted to this. The minimal profile is easy to incorporate almost anywhere. I'm a little torn by the lack of a remote. It would be nice, but for most of my pieces I don't need it, but for the higher ones I miss it. ***UPDATE 10/17 The manufacturer contacted me and after reading the review and explained very logically that a remote function is not included because of an unpreventable drain on the battery when not in use, which I understand and appreciate. Super!***I'd say the maximum size you would want the mini-spot for is about 31" x 31" (with fair coverage everywhere).I enjoy this product so much I made my first video review, so that should tell you something. I'm also going to go show it off at the local framing store.I've had my first piece for about a month now - I'll update if there are any changes.Also, although there is not a lot of light bleed outside of the 'cone of influence', these do provide some nice ambient light. With two of them on in a large room at night, I can easily navigate around without any other lights. Also, no glare off the TV from these.Enjoy!

I love the light. It has a fabulous illumination with three settings. It was easy to install. I have a very unsightly picture light on one of my pieces and it is soon to be replaced by another one of these lights.

I have been wanting a light that will illuminate some favorite paintings for years - everything I tried had messy cords, was super expensive and difficult to install.Then I saw this product on Amazon with the very helpful reviews and a little dream came true. The Mini-Spot arrived quickly, beautifully and responsibly packaged - and works perfectly. There was about a 30 second installation time after the initial charge - I put it on top of the frame, turned it on, and instantly one of my favorite paintinga was highlighted by this discrete and simply designed little spotlight. The light continued to work perfectly on the low setting for about 10 days at 5 hours a day. Then we charged it - uh oh. Stopped working.....because someone in my household used another charger (the instructions that come with the Mini-Spot clearly state not to do this as it will break the light). Despite our user error which was completely responsible for the issue, after I emailed Amazon Situ Lighting replaced the light at no cost the next day. I mean - the next day. At no cost. When I said I thought I should pay for it as I broke it - the response was: "Everyone makes mistakes, we will cover this for you." So I got back a new unit very quickly - and it continues to work perfectly to do what it is intended to do - highlight an otherwise pretty dark painting. This is my new favorite thing from my new favorite company. Did I mention that I called to discuss the issue - and spoke for 10 minutes with the company's president who answered my call personally?? He was lovely: funny, smart. informative, and totally focused on my positive experience as a customer. Found out there are new products coming. Sign me up! Oh yes, the cons: there aren't any. The price is a tiny bit intimidating but when I realize how long this product will last and the value that comes with it - plus the fact they stand behind their products and their lights are made in America - it is totally worth it. So easy to use, and so effective. I am re-evaluating how all of my paintings will look with the addition of one of the Situ lights! Thanks you for an amazing product and your equally amazing customer service, Situ Lighting.

Absolutely love this small beautifully made and sleek cordless picture light. Easy to install with no need of hardware and making holes in the wall. Just ordered another and will most likely purchase for all my artwork. Amazing!

I wanted special lighting for special art and Situ's 8" mini met every requirement: LED, rechargable, easy to install and unobtrusive. I've had inexpensive brass plated battery operated lights that are difficult to mount and service and was looking for a final solution to the hassles that always result: installation, dead batteries and bulbs and the inevitable deteoriation of the finish. Situ eliminated all these problems. The lights are precision high quality construction, requires no screws are easily removed for charging. My first unit arrived with a defective charger and was immediately replaced. My second order was a last minute Christmas decision I didn't expect to receive in time but arrived 2 days after ordered and with 4 days to spare. The attached photos are identical lights on significantly different sized frames. The lights are slightly adjustable to accommodate a variety of sizes and shapes. I like precision and the heft of these lights exude quality. Not inexpensive but museum quality for special art.
