LED lighting has evolved significantly over the past decade from a light bulb to an LED chip that is a microprocessor. Then phosphors are used and layers of red, green, and blue are mixed to create the color temperature you are seeking. For instance, if you want a cooler light, more blue is added. If you want warmer lighting, more red is added. LED lighting combined with the use of dimmer switches allows you to have unprecedented control over the vibrancy of color and the intensity of light. LED has proven to be a breakthrough affording new lighting options homeowners can choose to illuminate everything from their living spaces to their most cherished art and other items of significance collected over a lifetime. The art framing projector, which Lynne describes as “a piece of magic in a little cylinder” is a light fixture with small framing barn doors. This design allows you to put these lights in so that they frame a piece of art exactly. This method gives the impression that the artwork is lit from behind, with no shadows above or below it. While it may look as if the artwork is lit from behind, Lynne explains that it's actually a recessed can or a little trackhead called a framing projector, and the lighting comes from the ceiling.
