Wendel Projector - Phantom Contour Projector - How can you tell them apart?
I am often asked what is the main difference between a Wendel projector and a Contour projector? The answer is quite simple - new halogen lamp technology, precision optics, user friendly housings and multiple confinement masking methods.Low Voltage Halogen Lamp Technology
The Contour projector utilizes a special Ushio 75MR16/FO lamp that was originally designed for use in fiberoptic light engines. The optical engineers at Phantom Lighting Systems devised a way to harness the power of this lamp, condense the light and project a focused light beam which can be shaped to illuminate objects of art.
Precision Optics
The optical chamber on the Contour projector has been cleverly designed to include an aperture component as well as several Pyrex condensing lenses. The aperture mimics the characteristics of the fiberoptic light engine, by forcing the light through a defined area which is tuned to match the MR16 lamp. The result is a 70% pass through of light. Imagine, more light output with less heat.
User Friendly Housings
User Friendly Housings
Probably the biggest difference between the Contour projector and the Wendel projector is the user friendly mounting methods and multiple masking methods. A variety of ETL Approved housings have been created to handle just about any situation or room condition:
