"The art lighting that Scott Barker manufactures is far superior to any other product on the market today. I specify them for my clients and have used them in my own loft as well. These picture lights bring colors to life and are especially good for problematic pieces that always appear dark. I highly recommend them."

"For ten years, Scott Barker has continuously perfected our collection with his specialty lighting fixtures. When illuminated, the fixtures allow us to see details within the art that we have never seen before. The light is evenly distributed from top to bottom instead of just the upper portion of the painting. Scott Barker is truly a master at his craft and I would recommend his services to everyone."
~ Mike Nichols and Diane Sawyer

"After years of indecision and discontent surrounding the quality of lighting of my art collection, I came across Scott Barker of Decorative Lighting, Inc. He immediately demonstrated his extraordinary professionalism, taking great initiative and creating custom solutions for even the most challenging areas. As far as installation, Scott and his associates were efficient and delivered seamlessly on their original estimations. I was thrilled with the result; museum quality fixtures, which allowed me to appreciate my works of art literally in a whole new light. The lighting intensity and clarity with which I can now view my art collection would lead me to recommend him without reservation."
~ Peter Pritchard, New York

"We have received many delightedly surprised comments from the Club Members on the lights provided by Decorative Lighting. The color rendition is remarkable. These new fixtures provide a spectrum truer to natural light than traditional picture lights, rendering enhanced details. The light distribution is more complete across the entirety of the painting, instead of being isolated in intensity at the top as with traditional fixtures. The art is brought to life by this new lighting."
~ Gerard Chevalier,Club Manager - St. Botolph Club, Boston

"Last year, we required picture lights for the 19th century American paintings collection of one of our most important clients. Scott Barker was recommended to us. The lights he provided have a clarity and neutrality unlike any others we have seen. The fine detail and subtle coloration in the paintings were allowed to shine through. Moreover, Scott is highly professional and a pleasure to work with."

"I would recommend Scott Barker to anyone who is interested in fully illuminating their fine artwork. He completely transformed our collection with his specialty lighting."

"I was first introduced to The Decorative Lighting system when I had to suggest lighting for all the art in a client's new house in New Orleans. The picture lights were ideal for illuminating each "old master" painting. The effect was magical and the colors came alive as they previously had not, even under gallery lighting. I was so impressed with the transformation, I fastened one of the sample lights on a historical painting which we had for sale in the gallery. It was such an improvement, the painting sold within a week!"
