Phantom Lighting - Tips from the Manufacturer
Original lighting fixture manufacturer specializing in fine art lighting, art lights, picture lighting as well as custom cabinet lights, shelf lighting, cove lights and low voltage display illumination. - See The Light, Not The Fixture!Saturday, July 22, 2006
Lighting using low voltage fixtures for display and shelving is effective way to show of art collections.
We recently purchased an antique corner cabinet similar to the one you have in your gallery section. The antique cabinet has two glass front doors and solid wood sides. The shelves are fixed and the back is covered in a dark fabric. Is it possible to illuminate the cabinet with strip lighting and not destroy the integrity of the cabinet?Phantom strip lighting fixtures are custom made to fit just about any cabinet, bookshelf or indirect cove. Whether you are mounting Phantom strip lights horizontal or vertically, the custom trims can be fabricated to perfectly fit. The low profile metal trims completely hide the light even from the most severe angles because each trim has a glare shield to hide the source. A small low voltage transformer is also required to power the lights and can be hidden either above the cabinet or below the cabinet.
Shelves that are fixed and under 30" wide, typically would be done with vertical strip lighting. That is so the fixture can be hidden from normal view and the wires can be concealed as well. Anything over 30" wide requires a special center strip light to prevent a dark center.
