Before and after images of fine art lighting with the Phantom Contour Projector.



Do you have any before and after photographs showing the Phantom Contour Projector in a dining room setting? My interior designer wants us to install one for a new painting she just installed. I just want to see what a projector light looks like!

We have several nice before and after photographs of PHANTOM CONTOUR PROJECTORS in living rooms, libraries, studies, master bedrooms, dens and dining rooms. The above pictures illustrate the use of one 75-watt Contour Projector mounted inside a float finish housing. The projector cover plate was textured and painted to match the ceiling for a very clean look. The projector light is also on a dimmer control so that the intensity of the light can adjusted to match the mood of the setting.

Please let me know if you would like us to send our a complimentary color brochure or schedule a time for a consultant to call. We can be reached toll free at 800-863-1184 X 112 or online at www.phantomlighting.com.

Phantom Lighting is an original equipment manufacturer who specializes in illuminating fine art with the CONTOUR PROJECTOR or custom display lighting with LIGHT STRIPS.

Lighting antique cabinets is just one of the many uses for Phantom Lighting.

I recently acquired a large antique corner cabinet for my home that desperately needs some kind of internal lighting. I have placed the cabinet in a dark wood room which gets very little natural lighting. My home is fairly traditional so, I do not have overhead lighting to wash the cabinet like they did at the antique store. Can you help me?

PHANTOM STRIP LIGHTS, particularly the VM Series strip lights are perfect for illuminating antique corner cabinets or any kind of furniture for that matter. The corner cabinet on the left shows our VERTICAL MOUNT STRIP LIGHTS hidden inside the cabinet on both sides as well as a horizontal strip on top to provide an indirect light source. The low voltage transformer was hidden in the base cabinet along with the dimmer control.

This antique corner cabinet pictured above has fixed shelves with scroll fronts. We custom fabricated eight small vertical Phantom light trims to fit between the shelves and connected them together with small wire jumpers to create a continuous light source. All Phantom light trims have a glare shield which prohibits you from seeing the light source from any viewing angle. The internal strip lighting in this corner cabinet is striking at first glance.

Phantom light strips are the Cadillac of low voltage linear strip lighting. Other manufacturers of linear lighting products, such as rope light, fail to hide the light source. Other strip lighting products would require more intrusive wiring methods which would devalue the cabinet. PHANTOM LIGHTING is all about hiding the source and seeing the light. It's Simple. It's Easy! It's Effective!

For more information on PHANTOM STRIP LIGHTS for display lighting or the PHANTOM CONTOUR PROJECTOR for art lighting visit one of our knowledgeable LIGHTING AGENTS for a color brochure. Or you can contact customer service at 800-863-1184 X 112 for technical information or specifications.

We are more than happy to help you design and supply a custom lighting system for your antique cabinet.

Illuminate two paintings separately from one Phantom Contour Projector.

I have two small paintings on a wall in my home that I want to light. I have seen in several magazines lighting fixtures that illuminate multiple objects from one light. Will the Phantom Contour Projector do this or can you recommend somebody who's fixture can?

The ability to illuminate several painting or irregular shaped objects from one optical framing projector is one of the main features of the PHANTOM CONTOUR PROJECTOR.

By simply cutting several openings in the brass slide you can selectively mask the light to illuminate only the art without spilling light on the wall around them. The effect gives the art a lighted from within look, as if they were floating on the wall. We also have a shutter method for illuminating single paintings, tapestries, and furniture.

Phantom Contour Projectors are extremely easy to install compared to other optical framing projectors on the market. See for yourself how our OPTICAL FRAMING PROJECTOR compares against the competition.

Regardless of your situation, we have a housing and solution to meet your fine art lighting needs. In fact, we have the only REMODEL HOUSING on the market! That means you can install the light without having to patch or paint the ceiling.

For more information regarding our lighting products please contact a LIGHTING REPRESENTATIVE in your area or contact us toll free at 800-863-1184. Lighting is our passion and we love illuminating art!

Why is Phantom low voltage display lighting so popular with interior designers?

The main reason Phantom display lighting is so popular with design professionals is really quite simple. It works!

Phantom Lighting has been manufacturing custom cabinet lighting fixtures for over 20 years. Our patented ADJUSTABLE SHELF LIGHTING FIXTURE for bookcases, display cabinets and shelf systems are miniature, low profile and very effective. Imagine seeing each shelf in your library individually illuminated and being able to move each shelf anytime you want without having to disconnect any wires. That's right, no wires. It's that simple. Phantom Lighting is all about hiding the source and seeing the results.

The concept of adjustable Phantom Lighting is to eliminate exposed wiring by using existing metal shelf standards or buss bars to conduct a safe low voltage current. A remote transformer transmits energy through the shelf standards, buss bars and mounting clips. A lighting fixture, fitted with festoon lamps, lead wires and a conducting plate, is affixed to each shelf. Once the shelf is in position, the circuit is complete and the lamps energized. The results are dramatic!

In addition to our custom adjustable wiring methods, we have many other techniques and custom light trims for display lighting. Over the years we have illuminated everything from antique furniture to custom cove lighting applications. Every Phantom fixture is hand crafted in our facility to your exact specifications to insure a perfect fit every time. Phantom lighting is truly a flexible and unique lighting fixture for display lighting and accent lighting.

It's Simple! It's Effective! It's Phantom display lighting!

Q-Tran magnetic transformer option for the Phantom contour projector?

I am very interested in using your Phantom Contour Projector. However, I am not crazy about using an electronic transformer. Do you have any models with magnetic transformers?

We recently introduced a magnetic transformer option for all CONTOUR PROJECTOR models that uses a Q-Tran magnetic transformer. Q-Tran has a stellar track record in the lighting industry for making some of the most quiet lighting transformers on the market. The torodial design of the Q-Tran transformer provides superior voltage regulation and a 96% energy efficiency rating. A built-in thermal auto reset breaker protects the product from overloading as well as a built-in filter choke for sound reduction. All Q-Tran magnetic transformers are tested 3 times before leaving the factory for quality and safety. This magnetic lighting transformer is specifically designed for use with all Phantom Contour Projectors.

Thank you for contacting Phantom Lighting System with your specific request. We are delighted that you are interested in our lighting projector and we hope that we have addressed your concerns by adding this new feature. Many lighting designers, architects and electrical professionals prefer to use magnetic transformers over electronic transformers. We now have both to satisfy everyone.

If you need more information on PHANTOM CONTOUR PROJECTORS or our PHANTOM STRIP LIGHTS, please contact us at 800-863-1184.

Will the Phantom Contour Projector effectively light art from across the room?



I am an art consultant in Southern California who is familiar with projection lighting by other companies. I saw your lighting fixtures at Light Fair 2005 in New York and have wanted to use them ever since learned about them. I finally have an art lighting application that requires a very special fixture. The room is two stories tall, glass on both sides and does not have attic access. Can the Phantom Contour Projector shoot across the room and still frame the art?

Yes it can! The PHANTOM CONTOUR PROJECTOR produces a focused light source and the lenses can be changed to accommodate a long narrow throw of light. Likewise, you can change the lenses to illuminate a large painting by expanding the beam pattern, without loosing the ability to set the focus.

We recently photographed an installation in Texas that is very similar to what you are describing. The above images show both a daytime and nighttime shot of the room. In this application, one Phantom Contour Projector was used to illuminate the large contemporary painting mounted vertically above the fireplace. The Phantom projector was mounted on the opposite wall, inside the coat closet next to the front door and penetrated the wall roughly 8' up from the floor and the light projects some 30' across the room with dramatic results. The small wall penetration was only 1 1/2" in diameter and can hardly be seen from anywhere in the room. The installer used a custom template to mask the light from hitting the wall, creating a floating effect. It's like the painting is "Lighted from within" and the soft colors of the art can be seen in detail, as the artist intended.

PHANTOM LIGHTING SYSTEMS manufactures specialty lighting fixtures such as the CONTOUR PROJECTOR for art lighting and PHANTOM LIGHT STRIPS for display lighting. For more information or to request a color brochure contact Tom Kretzschmar toll free at 800-863-1184 X 102.
