Accurate measurements are critical for architects, interior specifiers, and electrical contractors. Below are standard technical guidelines used for catalog products and custom fixture engineering.
The total extension of a wall-mounted swing arm fixture is calculated from the mounting wall surface directly to the outermost edge of the shade or socket assembly when extended fully at a 90-degree angle.
This measurement allows specifiers to clear adjacent architectural millwork, headboards, and bedside tables accurately.
All lampshades are standardly specified in order of: Top Diameter × Bottom Diameter × Side Slant Height.
For example, a shade marked 6" × 12" × 8" has a 6-inch top opening, 12-inch bottom opening, and an 8-inch diagonal slant length.
The fixture height for task and piano lamps is measured vertically from the table seating base to the highest point of the shade body or arm joint when held in its normal operating position.
This ensures proper sightline clearance and optimal task illumination across desk surfaces and music stands.
To ensure even glare-free light distribution across canvas and framed artwork, follow these industry sizing rules:
Framburg fixtures are built to strict UL standards. We provide flexible wiring solutions for both hardwired commercial installations and plug-in residential applications.
Yes. Framburg provides UL-approved snap-on polarized plugs compatible with standard UL-approved SPT-2 electrical cords.
Each plug shipment includes step-by-step wiring instructions for safe field customization without compromising safety certifications.
For installations where surface wiring cannot be chased into drywall, we recommend four professional solutions:
All picture lights include mounting hardware capable of securing directly to the wooden artwork frame or wall studs. Installation requires only basic hand tools such as a screwdriver and pilot awl (Bracket sizes: 2 ½” or 3”).
Snap the fixture arms firmly into the supplied mounting brackets. Slide the arms vertically to achieve the desired shade position relative to the picture frame (Bracket sizes: 1 ½” or 2 ¼”).
Framburg provides comprehensive support for commercial lighting specifiers, OEM partners, and overseas importers seeking handcrafted USA lighting manufacturing.
