Fontana S

How far should you position an adjustable spotlight from the wall to illuminate artwork?

Correct positioning of a spotlight is essential when you want to highlight artwork or decorative objects on a wall. The distance from the wall defines not only the shape of the light beam but also the viewing comfort and overall effect. The Fontana S adjustable spotlight from Karizma Luce — with a 36° beam angle and 800Lm output — allows precise direction of light. However, with a maximum tilting angle of 30°, it is important to plan its position carefully. As a guideline, you should install the spotlight between 90 and 110 cm from the wall, depending on ceiling height. This ensures the beam reaches the object at a comfortable 30–35° angle and creates a well-defined light circle on the wall.

Recommended distances for Fontana S (36° beam angle, 800Lm)

Ceiling height Distance from wall Light circle on wall
2.5 m 80 – 90 cm Approx. 50 cm diameter
2.7 m 90 – 100 cm Approx. 60 cm diameter
3.0 m 100 – 110 cm Approx. 65 cm diameter
For smaller objects or focused accent lighting, you can install the luminaire closer to the wall. For larger pieces or a softer ambient effect, you should place it further away — but always within the limits of the tilting angle. Looking for more recessed adjustable spotlights from Karizma Luce?
