# Let There Be Light
Even the most beautiful 14K artwork can look dull in the wrong light. Our pieces are designed to react to light, especially those mounted with Diasec.
## Color Temperature
We recommend a neutral to slightly warm color temperature (**3000K to 4000K**).
- **Cool light (>5000K):** Makes the image look clinical and cold.
- **Warm light (<2700K):** Distorts the natural colors of the photography.
## The 30-Degree Rule
To avoid glare and reflections (even with our anti-reflective coatings), place your spotlights at a **30-degree angle** from the vertical axis.
### Pro Tip: Dimmable Systems
Artcore pieces change their character depending on the light intensity. A dimmed spotlight in the evening creates a "vitrine effect" that adds mystery and depth to the shadows.
