Yeah, good call. That's one good thing about paper prints is it's cheap to get a bunch of small prints done with varying things (like background colour) to get the best result. Not so with metal prints.

Some even have remote control for about the same price.
But if you have a hallway or entry way, or long wall they can look really good grouped together, justifying the expense of getting a AC cord run into the ceiling or dropped through a stud wall. Even Bunnings offers basic track light systems that can work just fine.

There are battery powered picture lights, and little stalk mounted LED ones. I have a stalk mounted LED one that I repurposed from a Bunnings clip on desk light, it works ok. |
Hmm. I wonder if using lighting like that could counteract the reflections you get with glossy mediums. If the light from the picture light is brighter / closer than the other light sources maybe you wouldn't see the reflections?
