Agra 18 Picture Light by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort

The Agra 18 Picture Light by Sean Lavin is an 18 inch solid brass picture light with an integrated LED and a recessed silicone diffuser, with no visible hardware or seams. It comes in Bronze, Polished Nickel or Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass.

The Design Story

Sean Lavin drew the Agra picture light as the purity of a simple silhouette, clean and free of visible hardware or seams. The shade is solid brass and holds an integrated LED behind a recessed silicone diffuser. Agra comes in Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass, Bronze or Polished Nickel, and it suits looks from minimal modern to classic and even opulent.

Why You'll Love It

The Agra 18 is the compact size of the family: a clean brass bar 18 inches long that suits a framed work around 36 inches wide, a print over a console or a small painting in a hall. The light is 2700K at 90 CRI, and it dims on 0-10V, ELV and TRIAC dimmers.

Built for Damp Locations

Agra 18 Picture Light is ETL listed, and Visual Comfort rates it for indoor damp locations and outdoor spaces under cover, such as a covered porch. The material is solid brass, and the LED is integrated with a rated life of L70 over 50,000 hours. It carries a 5-year warranty. Visual Comfort lists a California Proposition 65 warning for this fixture: it can expose you to chemicals including lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm (P65Warnings.ca.gov).

Product Details

Where It Shines

Over a framed print above a console, a small painting in a hallway, a bedroom gallery wall, a powder room or a reading nook.

Who This Is Not For

The Agra 18 is a compact accent, so it is not for a large canvas. It gives 685 lumens, enough to wash a small to mid-size piece but not a wall-size work. For wider art, the 24 or 36 inch Agra gives more reach.

Questions We Hear Most

How big is the Agra 18 Picture Light?

It is 18 inches wide, 4.5 inches tall and extends 8.5 inches from the wall. It weighs 7 lbs.

What size artwork suits the Agra 18 Picture Light?

Visual Comfort's rule of thumb is that the width of the light should be about half the width of the frame or artwork below. At 18 inches, this one suits a piece about 36 inches wide. For best results, position the light at a 30 degree angle from the artwork.

How bright is it?

It delivers 685 lumens at 2700K and 90 CRI on 12.6 watts, and it is rated L70 over 50,000 hours. That is a soft, warm light that shows color accurately without glare.

Can I dim it?

Yes. It dims on 0-10V, ELV and TRIAC dimmers. Use an LED compatible dimmer.

Can I use it in a bath or outdoors?

Visual Comfort rates it for indoor damp locations and outdoor spaces under cover, so it suits a bath, a powder room or a covered porch. It is not for fully exposed outdoor use.

Which finish should I choose?

Bronze is a deep, dark finish that sits quietly on a dark or painted wall. Polished Nickel is bright and cool and suits white, gray or marble rooms. Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass is warm and golden and suits traditional and layered interiors.

Why We Love It

The Agra 18 puts a clean brass line above a small work and lights it softly.
