Phantom Lighting System

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.

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

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:

Float Finish Housing
Top Access Housing
New construction Housing
Remodel Housing

Multiple Confinement Masking Methods

Gone are the days of the technician flying in to meticuously install a light fixture. Now professional results can be achieved by anyone who can follow our detailed instructions. If you are illuminating a square or rectangular work of art, use the shutter system for a fantastic results. If multiple objects, large objects or 3D objects is the task at hand, use our hand cut template method to achieve dramatic results. Our template cutting instructions will guide you through the process.

Lightfair 2006 in Las Vegas was a tremendous hit for Phantom Lighting Systems and one of the best shows we attended so far.

Our professional sales staff did a fantastic job explaining the products, making new friends and handing out over 500 laminated Phantom Lighting luggage tags and pocket rulers.

Phantom Lighting is all about hiding the lights and seeing the results. The new booth featured our patented adjustable shelf lighting fixtures and the Contour Projector which was illuminating four paintings from one source. Our goal was to show first hand how our products illuminate objects of art without seeing the source. From the comments we heard, our mission was accomplished.

Updated 2006 Phantom Lighting catalogs will be shipping out shortly to those individuals and companies who requested one. In a hurry?
