How does the fixture do on a print that is dark but is behind glass?

My artwork is on canvas, so I'm not sure. I imagine there will be some reflection off of the glass.

There will be a reflection from the LED's but the fixture can be positioned so that the reflection will not show.

A bit if it's very bright, like direct sunlight. Enough to tell there's a light behind it.

Not sure but I think it has some kind of back ground light. I just made the print bigger when I was checking it out

The light would work sitting on the glass. I bought this light for my friend's tanks a while back. If I remember correctly it has a clear plastic cover that protected the lights, so the cover would act as if it was up against the glass any way.

It's difficult to shoot from directly above because of the light fixture, but you can get pretty close. I use museum wax to get the items at the right angle. I also loosely wrapped the light in tracing paper to minimize reflection.

I have no clue. I didn't ever see a light to begin with. I use mine for the large print.

This is definitely not a bright light fixture, subdued lighting. It is not good lighting for reading, games, etc. There are at least 2 bulbs. And as said, no reverse.

If you hang it very close to the ceiling you'll get a sort of starburst effect on the ceiling directly above the fixture, but otherwise it doesn't cast any noticeable shadows.

No, it's darker than clear glass and slightly mirrored on both sides. It's definitely not "invisible."

This fixture is not black...not even close. It is a dark oiled bronze with tiny coppery sparkles and a matte finish. It does not however, have the coppery colored streaks that some oiled bronze fixtures have.

I would say the glass is slightly frosted--but you can still see the bulb through it.

I have no idea. The fixture is very beautiful. My husband had no problem with the installation. Everyone and I mean everyone when viewing the fixture makes the statement that they want one and asks where I purchased it. I doubt, if you purchase the fixture, you will not regret it. I know this does not answer your question but hope it resolves any concerns you may have.

Honestly, I have trouble using the negative attachment. It's for slides and "standard" negatives (35mm). If you have a large format negative, you might have to lay the negative on the glass, then lay a sheet of white paper (not too much texture!) on top of the negative, and provide a light above it. That's "backlighting" and it works fairly well. Good luck!

Can't. I printed a round label to cover the light. You can use you favorite image. Trim as needed.

Guesswork here* Correct me if someone knows better. The color of the glass will not effect whether or not you can etch with this product. It will effect the end result. IE, etching on clear glass takes away an outer layer where the etch is and results in a frosted look of whatever shape you etched. So on black glass (assuming the glass is completely black and does not have a film on the outside or something with clear glass on the inside) it would likely just be black and wouldn't stand out much except on closer examination. I'm intrigued, how are the LEDs going to be used with the glass? Is it a glass window and there's LEDs on the inside surface?

The one thing that I don't like is that the hanging wire is exposed. I was looking for a cover over it. I am in new construction, so can put anything - even a wire cover over. I have found a curtain rod that will fit over the wire and hope that will work. Unfortunate that it is such an great light fixture and the wire is exposed!

It attaches to the lamppost below the actual fixture so does not matter what type of glass the fixture has
