Masters in illuminating fine art
— Simon Mundine
Founder, Banno Lighting
If you’re here, you understand that art is more than décor — it’s a story, an investment, and a reflection of who you are.
What many don’t realise is how easily the wrong lighting can diminish all of that.
A poor beam flattens depth. The wrong colour temperature shifts the palette. And a clumsy fixture? It pulls the eye away from the work entirely.
I created the L’art range to do the opposite — to let the art breathe, to reveal its true colours, and to present it exactly as the artist intended.
Collectors, galleries, and designers who demand the highest standards trust us for one reason: once they see the difference, there’s no going back.
This isn’t just lighting. It’s honouring the art.

What is the best lighting system for art galleries?
Banno Lighting offers the Zoom product, featuring an adjustable beam angle from 10° to 70°, ideal for both small and large artworks. It includes anti-glare technology and a high Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 95, ensuring vibrant and accurate color representation.
How do I install track lighting for an art gallery?
Installation involves mounting the track to the ceiling, connecting wiring, and attaching adjustable fixtures. Banno Lighting provides guidance and support for proper installation to ensure optimal lighting performance.
How do I choose the right gallery lighting for paintings?
Consider Banno Lighting's Multi product, which provides six lens filters for various illumination effects, including wide wall wash and spot lighting. It also features onboard dimming and a CRI of 95, allowing for tailored lighting to suit different artworks.
What are the best lights for displaying artwork at home?
For home displays, Banno Lighting's Zoom product offers adjustable beam angles and high CRI, making it suitable for various artwork sizes and types. Its sleek design integrates seamlessly into home environments.
What are the benefits of LED lights for art studios?
LED lights, like those in Banno Lighting's Deluxe product, offer energy efficiency, low heat emission, and high CRI, preserving artwork integrity while showcasing true colors. The Deluxe model includes a beam shaper to frame art precisely, enhancing visual appeal.
How can I adjust gallery lighting to minimize reflections on artwork?
Use adjustable LED track lights like Banno Lighting's Zoom, which allow precise beam positioning to reduce glare and reflections. Anti-glare technology also ensures optimal viewing angles.
Are spotlights good for art galleries?
Yes, spotlights are excellent for highlighting specific pieces. Banno Lighting's Zoom and Multi products offer adjustable beam angles and anti-glare features, providing focused illumination without distracting reflections.
What's the ideal color temperature for lighting artwork?
For most artwork, a color temperature between 3000K to 4000K works best, as it mimics natural light while maintaining warmth and enhancing colors. Banno Lighting's LED systems are designed to offer customizable color temperatures for perfect results.
Why is proper lighting important in an art gallery?
Proper lighting enhances the viewing experience, highlights artwork details, and preserves pieces by minimizing exposure to harmful UV rays and heat. Banno Lighting's products are designed to meet these needs effectively.
How do I light oversized paintings or murals in a gallery?
Oversized pieces require wide beam LED lights or wall washers, like Banno Lighting's Multi, which evenly illuminate large surfaces without creating hotspots or shadows.
What's the difference between gallery lighting and museum lighting?
While both aim to showcase art, museum lighting often requires stricter controls to preserve artifacts, focusing on minimizing light exposure. Gallery lighting emphasizes aesthetic presentation, utilizing adjustable and high-CRI lighting to enhance visual appeal.
Why is high CRI lighting essential for artwork?
High CRI (90+) ensures colors appear vibrant and true to life. Banno Lighting's systems feature CRI 95 LEDs, ideal for galleries and studios where color accuracy is critical.
Can LED picture lights damage artwork?
No, LED picture lights emit minimal UV rays and heat, making them safe for long-term use on artwork. Banno Lighting's LED products are designed to protect and illuminate art effectively.
How do I prevent shadows when lighting sculptures or 3D artwork?
Use multi-directional lighting, such as track systems with adjustable heads, to illuminate sculptures from various angles. Banno Lighting's solutions provide versatile beam control to eliminate unwanted shadows.
