Direct Connect Vision Picture Light with Remote by Situ

The Direct Connect Vision with remote is Situ's slim bar picture light built for a junction box: it wires in like a sconce, then dims and tunes from the included remote. Nothing hangs behind the frame and no cord runs down the wall.

Choose a 15, 28, 40 or 53 in bar, a Standard or Tall optic, one of six finishes, and Situ's color tuning model, which steps from warm 2700K to neutral 4000K, or a fixed 3000K or 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.

Product Details

Finishes and SKUs

Each length, optic, finish and color temperature has its own Situ model number, for example DC-VS-28-S-B-CT (28 in, Standard optic, Brushed Brass, color tuning). Fixed 3000K models drop the -CT ending and 2700K models end in -27K; -T- marks the Tall optic. Our SKU adds the prefix LM-SITU, e.g. LM-SITU-DC-VS-28-S-B-CT.

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 want to dim from a wall switch or a lighting control system instead of a remote, choose the Direct Connect Vision for wall dimmers. If there is no junction box where the light should go, the Plug-in Vision plugs into an outlet, and the cordless Rechargeable Vision needs no wiring at all.

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.

How does the remote work?

The remote dims the light and, on color tuning models, steps it warmer or cooler between 2700K and 4000K. It can be paired with several Situ lights so a wall is controlled together.

Color tuning or fixed color temperature?

Color tuning lets you change the light from warm 2700K to neutral 4000K at any time. Fixed models stay at one color: 3000K suits most art, 2700K is warmer and flatters oils and gilded frames.
