Phantom Lighting System

Phantom Lighting’s designer showroom offers a unique and innovative virtual lighting supply source for decorators, home builders, architects, electricians, and carpenters. The diversity of elegance found in our lighting design showroom is intended to serve as an example of how applicable our residential and commercial luxury lighting fixtures to a wide range of custom lighting environments. When a designers visits our online lighting supply showroom, they are seeing not just products, but tangible examples of how specific products have been customized to the exact specifications of high-end projects that standard art lighting and linear lighting fixtures could not have adequately been communicated with technical catalog.

Consider this fact: every project you see showcased here began as a custom lighting design project just like the one you are currently working on.

Each professional we helped in the pat simply gave us the scope of his or her project, supplied us with appropriate dimensions, schematics, or photographs, and then let our consultants and lighting agents take it from there. Our unique custom specification and lighting supply process was then able to meet the needs of the professional needs on a very personal level and provide him or her with a luminaire made specifically for the project at hand.

You may notice quite a few cabinet lighting, display lighting, and antique furniture lighting projects showcased on our lighting design gallery.

Every one of these lit by customizing one or more of our six linear strip models into an in-cabinet, undercabinet, bookshelf, or display cabinet lighting fixture. Although based on hidden linear lighting technology, these fixtures go far beyond the capabilities typical linear strips you buy from online stores or find in retail showrooms. They are custom manufactured as ultra-thin vertical and horizontal pieces that fit so exactly match the cabinets and shelves they illuminate that you cannot even see that they are there. If you are a home builder, you can count on these luminaires to fit even the most original and eclectic of kitchen cabinets. The same principal applies to cove lighting as well. Our lighting supply showroom exhibits a number of projects where the CM series linear lighting fixtures have been bent to fit the exact curvature of the cove or vaulted ceiling they illuminate.

Our lighting design showroom has a great deal of projects for the art consultant to study as well.

If your profession is locating and hanging artwork for your clients, one of your top priorities is going to be finding art lights that will effectively illuminate your designs. Consider the benefits offered by the Phantom Contour Projector’s “lighted from within effect.” This picture lighting effect is created by a powerful halogen bulb whose light is passed through a sophisticated, adjustable series of filters that both shape the light and render it free of all ultraviolet and infrared light. Since the recessed projector light is “contoured” to match the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the painting or sculpture it illuminates, you gain a remarkable precision in lighting control and luminance intensity when lighting your clients’ art. Our lighting design showroom offers many examples of how this proprietary effect has earned Phantom Lighting world recognition for bringing museum quality lighting to private residential and commercial art collections.

Take your time as study these projects and let your own creativity begin to speak to you.

Although your current project will no doubt be unique, there is a Muse waiting to inspire you today as you browse through our lighting design showroom, and a manufacturer’s representative agent in your area waiting to help you put your next project in a whole new light.

Our virtual lighting gallery also has a great deal for the art consultant to consider.

Here you will find many examples of fine art illuminated by what is known as our "lighted from within effect." This is achieved by the advanced lens configuration and filtration mechanism of our Phantom Contour projector fixture. The light is shaped or “contoured” to match the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the painting or sculpture it illuminates. This allows for a remarkable precision in lighting control and luminance intensity. The filters also strip the light of all ultraviolet and infrared light to render it harmless to sensitive oils and canvases. The light is also shaped, or “contoured” Regardless of the color scheme, location, or size of the painting, the light always appears to emanate from the surface of the art. For decades, this is is what has made the Phantom Contour Projector world famous for art lighting.

The beam of light that comes from our projector lighting fixture remains invisible while it travels from the ceiling to the painting. Advanced filters strip it of ultraviolet and infrared light to render it harmless to sensitive oils and canvases. The light is also shaped, or “contoured” to match the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the painting or sculpture it illuminates.

Why is Phantom the interior decorators best source of specialty art lighting product supply?
Because we look at ourselves as an extension of your creativity, not a vendor of parts that you have to force fit on top of your vision. We custom manufacture lighting for all of our display, shelf, furniture, and decorative strip lights to the exact specifications of your interior design strategies. You can call us directly at our factory and speak to a artwork lighting design expert who will give you a free consultation over the phone on how to properly illuminate art. During this consultation we will learn exactly what you intend to do for your client, and then locate an agent in our lighting supply network who can best assist your specific application.

Why not simply go to a lighting supply store when I need lights for my clients?
If you go to a lighting supply depot, you will no doubt find countless fixtures that are exquisitely designed and perform exceptionally. The problem you will run into, however, is finding the right accent lighting fixture out of all these choices that will provide a low profile fit for a decorative cabinet, book case, valance, display, or cove you intend to light. Even if you come close, there will still be technical challenges associated with installing it, as many of these lights have transformers that are difficult, if not impossible to conceal.

With Phantom Lighting, however, you can simply send us some photographs and detailed dimensions of what you want us to light and we will supply you with hidden linear lighting strips that will be invisible to the client and operate on low-voltage transformers that remain unseen. This results in a fully dimmable, energy efficient luxury luminance for your design creations that looks great in your client’s home—while saving them money all the while!

Do you supply picture lights or over the frame lights for paintings?
We actually provide you with something much better—your choice of six model designs for our Phantom Contour Projector. These projectors are much smaller and more sheik in design build than larger, bulkier equivalents. They have the very best filtration and lens adjustment mechanisms on the market, making it possible to strip the light of all harmful UV and IR rays and render it safe for even the most rare and delicate of oil paintings.

The Phantom Contour hides near the ceiling and delivers an invisible beam of light that also remains hidden until it strikes a painting, sculpture, or rare furniture arrangement. This is called the “lighted from within” effect which has made us famous for museum-quality art lighting fixtures and sculpture lighting all over the world.

What if I want to hang art in my client’s den and they already have eyeball fixtures in the ceiling?
No problem. We can supply you with a retrofit art lighting projector that you can install in the same sockets the eyeball fixtures currently occupy. Not only will this represent a simple upgrade in terms of switching fixtures, but it will also avoid the need to cut into your client’s ceiling to install the projector.

We manufacture fine art projectors here in our Houston, Texas headquarters, then distribute them through a network of nationwide lighting suppliers and sales representatives that fans out throughout all 50 states into cities like Washington D.C., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, (PIT) Atlanta, GA (ATL), Marina Del Rey, California, Coral Gables, Fl, Redmond, Washington (RDM), Memphis, Tennessee (MEM), Madison, WI, (MSN) Portland, Oregon, (PDX) and Stamford, CT.

Do you supply rope lights as cabinet and cove lights?
No. We acknowledge the decorative benefits of rope lights in certain decorative applications such as holiday lighting and patio lighting. However, rope lighting is not an ideal choice for cabinet lighting or cove lighting construction.

This is due to a number of reasons. For one thing it is difficult to control the reflective glare that comes off appliances and countertops when you are using rope lights as under cabinet lights. While cove rope lights do supply plentiful illumination to these surfaces, they lack the adequate shielding that is needed to keep too much light from shining onto a surface and then back into the eyes.

By the same token, it is also very hard to control the direction of the lighting itself with these simple fixtures. Light shines in all directions and reflects off of everything at once and you have no glare shields to conceal or hide the source.

What about using rope lights as cove or over the cabinet lights?
While it may be tempting to install them as low-cost cove lights and over the cabinet lights, we recommend you avoid this as well. Rope lights have a relatively short life expectancy, so if one light in the string fails, the rest go down with it. This will result in half the cove being lit and the other left in darkness, and cause the homeowner to have to go find a lighting supply source on their own to find a replacement. This is not an inconvenience that you want your client to inherit. Phantom cove lights use long life 2800K festoon lamps that provide years of trouble free service.

What can you supply as a cabinet and cove lighting alternative?
We are glad you asked this. Our custom LED energy saving linear lights have been engineered for custom manufacturing and low-profile design. This essentially means that a linear strip is created to fit a specific cabinet interior, over the cabinet top shelf, or cove near the ceiling.

We are perhaps the only luxury lighting supplier currently working in this marketplace that offers this degree of customization, and who can manufacture and deliver the product so expeditiously and cost-effectively for the contractor.

All you need to do is give us the dimensions of the cabinet or cove you intend to light and decide on what level of light and colour temperature is most appropriate for the initial home interior design for the new construction. Our lighting supply representative network and manufacturing facility in Houston, TX will take care of the rest.

What advantages do Phantom Cabinet and Cove Lighting Fixtures provide over standard fixtures made for the same purpose?
For one thing, they present a highly adaptable and resilient fixture made with onboard glare shields pre-mounted to the lighting fixture. This supply a much more controlled and evenly distributed spread of luminance under a cabinet or over a cove. Phantom cabinet lighting fixtures are also engineered for maximum concealment. Rather than using visible, external wires to conduct current, our lighting transformer supplies power to the lamps through metal shelf supports and bus bars along the strip. This allows the homeowner to remove shelving for cleaning or redecorating without risk of damage to the strips or fear of electric shock.

Our linear strip lighting manufacturing plant is located in Houston, Texas. A network of nationwide lighting supply agents fans out throughout all 50 states into cities like Ft. Lauderdale, FL (FLL), Orlando, Florida (MCO), Santa Monica, CA, (LAX) Columbus, Ohio (CMH), (LGA) New York, NY, (JKF), St. Louis, MO, Detroit, Michigan (DTW), Madison, WI (MSN), San Francisco, California (SFO), and Omaha, Nebraska (OMA). We also service clients internationally, with lighting manufacturer representatives working out of Canada, Mexico, Central America, and South America.

We invite you to contact us toll free 800-863-1184 to obtain more information on all of these options. You can also request literature on our main website, visit our phantom mobile website, or read through the many informative summaries and FAQs located on our lighting blog. All of these resources contain a wealth of information about our custom; low-voltage lighting products that are the dream come true of art lighting designers and cabinet lighting builders on two major continents.

Architects, builders, and interior decorators have long had to rely exclusively upon lighting supply distributors whose first priority was to sell what was in stock. Custom orders have often been difficult to fill through these brick and mortar lighting suppliers simply because these distributors simply HAVE to keep standard moving out the door to stay in business. Custom orders are much more difficult to fulfill because they take a great deal of time to design and requisition, and they are therefore much less cost effective for the distributorship to consistently provide.

This has all changed, now. Thanks to the Internet, Phantom Lighting has emerged as a next generation lighting supply manufacturer that has risen to international prominence by providing direct, initial personal consultation, targeted referral to the right technical specialist in our representative agent network, custom manufacturing per client demand, and expeditious product delivery. Resultantly, specific benefits flow from this more efficient business model to a number of professions within the design community at large.

Architects rely on Phantom Lighting to supply them with custom cove lights when standard fixtures prove inappropriate or inadequate for eclectic interior architecture.

The Phantom CM series cove lighting fixtures feature a number of benefits that are not present in standard cove lights.

· A potential radius fit of up to 360 degrees, making it possible to bend the strip either in a winding pattern or form it as a full circle.
· Full dimmability that allows the user to set ambient light levels at precise levels of luminance
· Concealed wiring, hidden transformers, and a smaller linear strip mount that make it near invisible
· Support for 2800K LED festoon lamps that rival xenon in colour temperature

These features make the CM series cove light the architect’s dream when it comes to lighting theme-oriented restaurant interiors such as Houston’s Aquarium, or when recommending a fixture that adds an additional layer of luminance to the general ceiling lighting of a custom home.

Architects can also create some very unique and sophisticated lighting effects by combining our flush-ceiling mount Contour Projectors with pattern gobos. Restaurants, hotels, and event planners can create a gobo depicting their company logo and use a Phantom Contour to project the image onto a wall or into a lobby area.

Phantom offers the residential builder a diverse supply of custom-built undercabinet lights, kitchen cabinet lights, truss lighting fixtures, and art lighting equipment.

Builders often install cove rope lights to provide a general cove and cabinet lighting source for new homeowners. This almost always never pays off in the long for the homeowner. It is very difficult to control the glare produced by rope lights because of their unshielded design. They are also somewhat difficult to conceal, and they tend to have a relatively short life expectancy.

Phantom’s high-performance linear strip lights outperform inferior rope lights in almost every aspect of luminance and quality of light.

· Phantom Lighting supplies a much more resilient and flexible strip that is already mounted onto an on board glare shield
· Phantom cabinet lights completely conceal themselves both in and under cabinets
· Our light strips supply power to festoon lamps through buss bars and metal shelf supports and thereby eliminate all visible wiring.
· As a result, this unique and patented design can be used as a low voltage festoon light in or under any custom cabinet without disruption to aesthetics or annoying entanglements with wiring.

Builders can also use our Phantom Contour Projectors to set any home apart from neighboring residences. Many spaces in a new home like the fireplace, dining room, library, den, and family room are ideal spots for hanging fine art, but lose their ideal aesthetic if they become cluttered with obtrusively visible accent lighting fixtures. Supply companies normally offer builders eyeball lights to provide a general overhead light that will also illuminate images hung on the wall, but these seldom do justice to truly fine works of art and originals. The Contour Projector is a much more precision lighting instrument that uses a “lighted from within” effect to create a magical glow around the artwork, and better reveals the intrinsic value of a masterpiece better than a standard luminaire can accomplish.

Lighting designers can rely upon our custom manufacturing and supply distribution channels as a technical extension of their creativity.

As artists, decorators little, if any, time to waste muddling through technical jargon and complicated installation instructions. They need a lighting supply manufacturer that can provide them with technology that is sophisticated in its delivery power, yet easy to use.

· Interior designers are welcome to directly call our main Houston office to express their plans for interior design.
· After the initial consultation, our team will direct them to the very best agent in their area that will meet their specific needs.
· This is more than simply a referral to a distributorship, because every Phantom Lighting Representative tends to specialize in one or more particular form(s) of lighting.
· Our intention is to get the designer to the right lighting salesman who will intuitively grasp the creative vision the decorator already has in mind and find the most applicable hardware to materialize that vision.
· This allows the designer greater freedom in proposing propose the wall art, furniture arrangements, draperies, specialty showcase displays, and fine art most suited for the homeowner in full confidence that our custom lighting products will fully support the final outcome of his or her labor.

Our lighting supply resource network is particularly useful to the designer in this last respect. Because it is common for designers to hang fine art in dining rooms and libraries and to decorate mantles and fireplaces with small statues and three dimensional abstracts, it is often very hard to find the best art projector that is small enough to properly and safely illuminate the piece without clashing with the surrounding design scheme. Contour Projectors overcome this challenge with a much more compact, sheik design that hides near the ceiling and conceals not only themselves, but the actual light they project. Viewers never see the beam of light that emanates from a Phantom Projector. All they see instead is a statue or painting that appears to glow with its own special aura of luminance over the fireplace, on the wall, or in the den.

Architects sometimes have difficulty finding specialty art lights and cove lights through traditional lighting supply channels. Lighting suppliers tend to stock their inventory with standard fixtures and move these products out the door as expeditiously as possible to maintain their own process flow. It is very difficult for some of them to custom order cove lights made for a specific ceiling area or type of ceiling, and many manufacturers they represent do not even make custom fixtures at all.

Art lights obtained through typical supply houses are often generic and obtrusively interfere with the viewer’s appreciation of the art. This is one of the main reasons why architects turn to Phantom Lighting. We custom manufacture and supply cove lighting fixtures tailor made to the specifications of vaulted ceilings, domes, trusses, valances, and serpentine coves. In essence, anything the architect designs is something we can light.

We can particularly serve the architect as a custom cove lighting supplier for high-end residential and commercial interiors. The Phantom CM cove lighting series offer a potential radius fit of up to 360 degrees. This makes it possible to create a fixture that fits the circular interior of a dome in a commercial building, or to create a fixture those winds hidden along the top of a serpentine contour of a ceiling cove. This degree of flexibility makes the CM series architect’s dream when it comes to illuminating theme-oriented restaurant interiors such as Houston’s Aquarium. This recent project involved supplying a local architect with CM fixtures fitted with 2800K LED festoon lamps. The effects we were able to create rivaled those of xenon lamps with a colour temperature that matched the sand and water color scheme of the interior design.

Architects involved in similar restaurant design projects have also been able to create some very sophisticated lighting effects with our Contour Projector products. These clean and sophisticated looking projectors flush-mount to the ceiling and can be fitted with gobos to project images onto walls. Perry’s steakhouse in Austin, TX recently had a pattern gobo created to project their logo into their main lobby. Architects involved in restaurant and hotel planning can use this versatile combination of pattern gobo and projector to supply lighting effects that give their clients a winning, competitive edge in branding.

The same art projector and cove lights we supply to commercial architects also serve the residential architect equally well. Custom homes are built for interior decorating, and the low profile design of both our Contour Projectors and our linear cove lighting strips offers a greater freedom of interior decorating. Design professionals can hang art in any location appropriate to display and have it “lighted from within” by projector requisitioned by the architect prior to build out. They can also count on having more ambient lighting near the top of the room with energy saving LED cove lights that will save them money and compliment whatever work is subsequently done by an interior decorator with an additional layer of light.

Meeting commercial expectations requires a constant awareness of the bottom line. Because many commercial environments such as break rooms need the lights left on throughout the day, owners are very tempted to request fluorescent under cabinet lights that are adequate in luminance and cheap to operate. You might want to point out to these clients that custom low voltage under cabinet lighting strips can be just as cost effective and prove an equally effective source of light. Low voltage incandescent festoons make for excellent task lights and produce a much finer, whiter light that compliments almost any countertop.

Phantom Xenon linear strip lights are low profile fixtures that hide beneath the front of the cabinet’s underbelly, shining the light back and away from the eyes. This reduces uncomfortable, reflective glare. They are also completely dimmable, which makes them even more effective than fluorescents in controlling energy costs. Because these devices replace visible wiring with metal shelf supports and buss bars, cleaning crews can remove shelves to dust them without fear of damaging the lighting strips or shocking themselves. Our smaller magnetic cabinet lighting transformers also make for easy installation and concealment, so the light appears to be sourceless as it emanates from under the cabinet or from within its interior.

Phantom linear light strips for low voltage under cabinet lighting are custom made to the exact specifications of cabinet undersurfaces and cabinet interiors. Installation will be simple and without unforeseen complications when you work with a US Phantom Lighting sales representative. Your Agent will relay the vertical and horizontal length requirements of the linear strips you request to our manufacturing facility. This will ensure a seamless fit with no complications.

Business owners will not only be amazed at the apparently magical light produced by our low voltage cabinet lights, but they will be impressed with the savings, to say the least. Low voltage lighting strips combine optimal lumens output with maximum energy savings. New 2800K LED festoon light bulbs have just emerged on the market as well. These new lamps mimic the color renderings of incandescent light and operate on only 20% the power needed by incandescents and xenon lamps. Add the innate power savings of LED to a dimmable, concealable light source, and you have low voltage under cabinet lighting exponentially multiplied through engineering combined with user-friendly control.

Through a partnership with Phantom Lighting, you can pass on direct savings to your clients, and you can also accommodate them with user friendliness and a wide variety of lamping and color temperature options that can make low voltage under cabinet light installations a source of premier luxury lighting at only a fraction of standard lighting costs.

How decorative do kitchen cabinet lights need to be?
Kitchens today are much more than food storage and preparation areas. They are now central gathering places for home entertainment events and are much larger than ever before. Kitchen cabinet lighting has had to evolve over the years to meet and increasing demand for more than base-level requirements to produce optimal visibility and comfort. Custom cabinet lighting must address certain aesthetic concerns as well such as lighting color and brightness, color rendering of illuminated surface and interior design, and glare free light that will not hurt the eyes of homeowners and guests.

Do you recommend puck lights and fluorescent under cabinet lights?
In some situations they are still useful, but their dominance in kitchen cabinet lighting is beginning to significantly wane. Custom home owners are replacing generic countertop materials with ornate granite and marble—two surfaces that are highly reflective. Although most fluorescent undercabinet lights are housed in frosted fixtures that minimize glare, they lack the color rendering capabilities necessary to do justice to an ornate countertop. Puck lights are too intense for most kitchens and throw a great deal of reflected light outward in all directions.

12 volt undercabinet lights, such as those manufactured by Phantom Lighting, are designed to overcome reflected glare with proprietary shielding on the linear light strips themselves and with directional lighting control that aims the light back and away from the eyes of the viewer.

What types of bulbs can you install in kitchen cabinet lights?
Phantom strips can be fitted festoon lamps housing incandescent, xenon, or LED bulb. Xenon will render color at a level nearly equivalent to sunlight. As a low voltage, dimmable cabinet light fixture, it will bring out the subtlest red of granite and the multi-dimensional hues of marble, and until very recently was the most commonly used festoon in custom kitchen cabinet lighting. However, the new 2800K LED festoon lamps has just entered the market with a color rendering capability that is equivalent to xenon—at only a fraction of the cost.

What types of festoons are best for interior shelf lighting?
Incandescent festoons typically make for the best kitchen cabinet lighting installations. This is because they produce a very white light everything within the interior clearly visible. Unlike puck lights, they occupy no cubic space, leaving more room for storage and a more balanced presentation when the cabinet is opened in front of guests. It is also easier to clean the shelves periodically because Phantom low voltage in cabinet lighting require little external wiring and even allow for shelf removal without risk of shock or equipment damage.
