Direct Connect Vision Picture Light for Wall Dimmers by Situ

The Direct Connect Vision for wall dimmers puts Situ's slim bar picture light under the control of the room: it mounts to a junction box and dims from your wall dimmer or lighting control system, so the art comes up and down with the rest of the lighting scene.

It works with TRIAC, ELV, MLV and 0-10V dimming. Choose a 15, 28, 40 or 53 in bar, a Standard or Tall optic, one of six finishes, and a fixed 3000K or warmer 2700K light.

The Design Story

Situ designs to one rule, form follows function. The Direct Connect Vision keeps the slim Vision bar and its two optics, a Standard optic for wide, shorter pieces and a Tall optic that reaches down art up to 60 in tall, and mounts it on a compact 4¼ in backplate that fastens straight to a junction or switch box. Nothing goes behind the frame, which makes it the answer for artwork hung flush to the wall, for bookcases and shelves, and for sculpture or niches that need a precise wash of light.

An 11½ in arm carries the bar out from the wall and pivots 180° or more to aim it. Every Vision light is 95+ CRI, UV and infrared safe, and puts virtually no heat on the artwork.

Finishes and SKUs

Each length, optic, finish and color temperature has its own Situ model number, for example HW-DC-VS-40-S-Blk (40 in, Standard optic, Black, 3000K). -T- marks the Tall optic and 2700K models end in -27K. Our SKU adds the prefix LM-SITU, e.g. LM-SITU-HW-DC-VS-40-S-BLK.

About Situ Art Lighting

Situ Art Lighting started as a father-and-son team in Sarasota, Florida, and is led today by President Jordan Minges. Its design rule is short: form follows function. Every light is built in-house in Sarasota and backed by a 3-year limited warranty, from cordless rechargeable picture lights to plug-in, hardwired and track systems, each sized to the artwork rather than rated by raw lumens. LoftModern is an authorized Situ retailer.

Who This Is Not For

If you would like a remote, or color tuning between 2700K and 4000K, choose the Direct Connect Vision with remote. If there is no junction box where the light should go, the Hardwire Vision mounts on brackets with its driver in a nearby electrical box, and the Plug-in Vision needs only an outlet.

Questions We Hear Most

Who makes the Direct Connect Vision?

Situ Art Lighting builds it to order in its own workshop in Sarasota, Florida. The company began as a father-and-son team and still designs, assembles and supports its lights in-house.

How is it installed?

A licensed electrician mounts the backplate to a junction box or switch box and connects it. Nothing installs behind the artwork, so it suits art hung flush to the wall.

What size artwork does each length light?

Standard optic, art up to 35 in tall: 15 in up to 40 in wide, 28 in up to 54 in, 40 in up to 70 in, 53 in up to 86 in. Tall optic, art up to 60 in tall: 30, 44, 58 and 72 in wide.

Which dimmers work with it?

It works with customer-supplied wall dimmers and lighting control systems using TRIAC, ELV, MLV or 0-10V dimming. An electrician connects it to the dimmer of your choice.

3000K or 2700K?

3000K is a clean warm white that suits most art. 2700K is warmer and flatters oils, wood tones and gilded frames. Color tuning is offered on the remote-controlled version.
