Phantom LED Festoon Lamp Shines Bright at New York Light Fair 2007

The PHANTOM LED LAMP is a 1.7 watt festoon lamp designed to replace a 5 or 7 watt incandescent or Xenon festoon. It operates on 12vac, is completely dimmable and utilizes three 1/2 watt LED's with tight color binning and CRI around 80. It also has integrated aluminum heat sink to reduce heat issues, improve performance and extend lamp life. Each PHANTOM LED LAMP emits between 45 and 52 lumens depending on color temperature. PHANTOM LED LAMPS have a 120 degree beam spread for smooth, even illumination. 60 degree beam spreads are available by special order.
LED COMPARISON
Most competitors LED FESTOON LAMPS use either 5mm or "Toppled" LED's. Each led may only emit 1 or 1.5 lumens. Therefore, a typical festoon with 5 LED's only emits maybe 5-10 lumens. The PHANTOM LED LAMP use only the highest quality LED with tight lumen and color binning. Our unit emits up to 5 times the light output of the typical festoons. This is comparable in brightness to a typical 7 watt incandescent or Xenon festoon lamp.
COLOR TEMPERATURES
The PHANTOM LED LAMP comes in a plethora of various color temperatures including Warm White 2950K, 3500K, 5000K and Daylight 6500K. Colors include Red, Blue, and Green. Lumen output for the 2950K PHANTOM LED LAMP is 42 lumens, 45 lumens for 3500K, and roughly 50 lumens for the 5000K and 6500K lamps.
TRANSFORMER REQUIREMENTS
The PHANTOM LED LAMP operates at 12vac, fully dimmable and may be used on magnetic transformers only.
LAMP LIFE
The PHANTOM LED LAMP has a 50,000 average lamp life as compared to 4,000 hours for incandescent and Xenon festoon lamps.
UL RATING
The Phantom LED falls into the Class 2 category. It is UL recognized as a component to Low Voltage Lighting Systems, but not specifically UL listed.
APPLICATIONS
The PHANTOM LED LAMP may be used in a variety of linear strip lighting products that operate at 12vac, regardless of the manufacturer. They offer benefits of producing less heat, longer lamp life and lower amperage loads and dimmer requirements. This lamp is perfect for hard to reach cove lighting applications, nautical or aviation needs, sensitive display lighting job, or any installation that requires a high performance lighting solution.
