Phantom Lighting System

Most cabinet lights are manufactured for either decorative lighting or functional under cabinet lighting. Individuals seeking a linear strip capable of fulfilling both requirements often have difficulty making a single purchase to accommodate their needs. This lack of dual-functionality in many fixtures led in part in part to the creation of Phantom Lighting, a unique manufacturer of cabinet lighting linear strips that can be used for both functional under cabinet task illumination or decorative accent showcasing.

Phantom linear strip lights can be used as either an under cabinet light or a display cabinet light, thus bundling more options into a single fixture that both saves on multiple purchase costs and conserves energy with superior engineering design

Because power cost is rapidly overtaking equipment costs as the primary factor in determining the value of an investment, energy efficient and newer, “green” technology becomes an matter of increasing consideration in light of alarming data on current global warming trends. In some parts of the world, fossil fuels are used to power electrical generators, so the conversation of electricity in turn can have a direct impact on the attempt to minimize and move away from fossil fuel reliance. Cabinet lighting manufacturers have had to answer to the demands of a global market that takes each of these factors into increasingly greater account as equivalent- if not more important- considerations to front end costs.

Today’s shift in the market is going to be a transitional process, as there is both a strong push in some corners to eliminate fossil fuels altogether and heavy resistance in other sectors that insist the oil, coal, and gas industries be maintained as long as time permits. Low voltage lighting manufacturers in California have been ordered by law to stop producing incandescent lights no later than 2010. This is not only to minimize energy uses, but also to eliminate noxious gases within the lamps themselves that have deleterious effects on the Earth’s ozone layer.

Short of a problematic, radical global change, this decision cannot and will not be accomplished overnight.

Because of this simple fact, Phantom Lighting has strategically positioned its value as a cabinet lighting manufacturer in the midpoint of the spectrum, so to speak. We cannot take an exclusionary approach to those who for economic reasons must rely upon incandescents for the time being. At the same time, we seek to do our part to answer the demands of conservation and emerge ultimately as leaders in the “green” movement that gathers momentum daily.

We therefore provide replacement LED festoon lamp options in 12VAC configurations to accommodate both preference and energy efficiency. We also lead our industry with a number of special patents that make certain elements of our technology simultaneously backward and forward compatible. The key to accomplishing this lies in the unique and highly proprietary process that we use to manufacture cabinet lighting strips themselves. We custom manufacture any cabinet or under cabinet LED lighting fixture to the exact specifications, dimensions, and application of client requirement. Our fixtures do not require traditional brackets to attach to cabinet surface areas. Instead, they utilize existing metal shelf standards to conduct electricity and do not require DC power inverters or the intrusive presence of visible wires.
