Accent, Art and Track Lighting
In short
Elevated Integration lights art, collections and architecture with adjustable small-aperture downlights and low-profile track from USAI, DMF, Ketra, PureEdge and AiSPIRE. Narrow beams, high color rendering and careful aiming are what make a painting look right.
Art changes under light. A narrow, well-aimed beam with high color rendering lets a painting's color and texture read as the artist intended, while the wall around it stays calm.
Accents are aimed on site once the art is hung, then saved into the room's scenes, so the collection is lit the same way every evening.
- Beam
- USAI now offers six-degree beams on its two- and three-inch fixtures, tight enough for a small canvas from a high ceiling.
- Color rendering
- Look past the CRI number. DMF measures Artafex color with TM-30, which weighs far more color samples than CRI does.
- Adjustable, not exposed
- Adjustable recessed fixtures aim the light while staying flush with the ceiling; DMF's Artafex 1 tilts to 35 degrees from a one-inch opening.
- Track, reconsidered
- Low-profile track such as PureEdge MicroTrack and TruTrack sits within the ceiling, and AiSPIRE's Outdoor X Track brings the same flexibility to pergolas and facades.

Questions
Art and track, answered.
- How should art be lit at home?
- With adjustable recessed fixtures or low-profile track, a beam sized to the piece, and high color rendering, aimed once the art is hung so the light falls on the work and not the wall around it.
- Is track lighting still used in luxury homes?
- Yes, in a quieter form. Recessed and low-profile track such as PureEdge TruTrack sits within the ceiling, so heads can move with a collection without a visible rail.
- Can accent lighting change through the day?
- Yes. With Ketra or tunable white fixtures, the light on a piece can follow the rest of the room, or stay fixed at the color temperature that suits the work.
