# How to Illuminate Artwork on Tall Walls
For homeowners who have tall walls in their home, they often opt to hang artwork to cover large barren spaces. However, this brings up a new situation. When you hang artwork on tall walls, you often need a light source to illuminate the artwork. Fortunately, you can light up your artwork without installing electrical wires inside the wall. Use a battery-operated light that secures to the picture frame to emphasize works of art.
