Educating the professional design community about Phantom lighting products!
As a normal part of their work, Phantom sales representatives offer lighting design and application assistance to architects, interior designers, engineers, lighting designers, and other specifiers of lighting. They "call on" specifiers, contractors and distributors, ensuring that product information is made available and catalogs are kept up-to-date. Once the lighting for a project is specified, the rep negotiates the price for the product on behalf of the actual manufacturer, and sells the product to the electrical distributor. Reps also assist with warranty services and make sure that the products they have sold perform properly. For lighting sales representatives, being genuinely knowledgeable about lighting is important in demonstrating their value to their customers.
Phantom Strip Lights, also sold by our United States lighting agent, are another great way to embellish your cherished belongings with fine lighting. These custom low voltage display lights are ideal for shelves, cabinets, breakfronts, armoires, and hidden cove lighting.

Art Projectors shape light in many interesting ways!
All Art projectors work by shining a tightly focused beam directly onto a painting or sculpture. This enables collectors to spotlight individual works and create their own lighting themes. Many art projectors pose a problem in this respect, however, that often proves very frustrating both to professionals and patrons alike. Mainstream art projector equipment can spotlight a work too intensely; casting illumination past the piece itself onto the surrounding walls and floors. This side effect is known as "spill light" and creates a distracting nuisance to the overall aesthetic of the showing. Phantom art projectors eliminate spill light and unsightly shadows with proprietary technology developed in our Houston factory. Our projector technology allows collectors to have greater control of their lighting theme and a more refined presentation of the artwork itself.
Phantom art projectors offer the most precise placement of light that any lighting device in today's market can deliver. Because they actually shape the light around the form of an object, we call them Contour projectors. They offer even more precise beam placement than adjustable accent lights that pool light around an object. Because Phantom art projectors match the field of illumination exactly to the surface of the piece, they makes it appear as though the light radiates from within the piece itself. Patrons call this optical effect "lighting from within," and have come to prefer its precision and finesse above other, less sophisticated lighting methods.
Phantom Contour art projectors also offer a greater measure of photometric precision and fine-tuned beam spread that matches luminosity to the exact proportions and layout of a specific piece. Phantom art projectors combine precise adjustment with an exceptionally high color-rendering index. Galleries and museums prefer Phantom art projectors above competing models because this level of precision enables them to highlight details within artwork that create themes for public openings and special collections. Phantom art projectors adjust quickly to both sharp and soft focuses and fully complement any genre of art. This versatility enables the collector to set a mood equivalent to perceived artistic intention and to maximize the subjective impact of the showing.
Commercial interior designers have also recently joined the entourage of Phantom Contour Projector loyalists. A rapidly growing percentage of interior design professionals are using Phantom art projectors in conjunction with theatrical gobos to create image patterns that provide mood and ambiance in restaurants and clubs as well as showcase company logos in corporate offices and buildings on walls and floors.
The Phantom Contour experience unites technology with the abstract and creates an experience which utilizes the Universal elements of light to communicate the Universals aspects of artwork that make creativity the essence of human collective consciousness. Phantom representatives provide custom installation and consulting services throughout the United States, and they service both private and public arenas. Contact us or a lighting specialist in your area today for your next opening, event, or addition to your collection.

Lighting Installations using the Phantom Contour Projector.
Each lighting installation is a unique experience in customized environmental improvement. Art lighting, for example, requires precise angles to prevent glare and shadow. Most complications with traditional projectors result from the limitations innate within traditional fixtures and lenses that make it difficult to precisely adjust the optimal level of light. Phantom Projectors resolve these issues with sophisticated, highly flexible components that allow for precise beam placement and pinpoint photometric adjustment. In virtually every lighting installation, the Phantom projector will beam exactly the right amount of light onto the art or sculpture without excess spill light or diminishing shadows. To achieve this effect, the lighting installation team will first darken the room to replicate nighttime conditions. This is imperative to find the right levels of light required for the task. Installers then systematically work to position the lighting fixtures for precise beam spread and luminosity, producing the “lighting from within” effect for which Phantom Projectors have earned world renown.
While it is true that Phantom projectors are simple to install, we recommend that homeowners and curators hire professional lighting installation consultants to achieve optimal results. Damage often results from do-it-yourself attempts to mount projectors in rooms with tall ceilings. Placing the lighting fixture too close to the wall impairs the projector’s ability to properly aim. Builders and electricians, while technically skilled in electrical installation, often make this mistake unknowingly due to a lack of experience in fine art lighting. The fixture then requires relocation, and the ceiling has to be repaired at additional cost after the fact. Phantom lighting installation experts can prevent this needless expense by positioning the projector at the best possible location the first time. They then work systematically to achieve the proper beam spread that forms the foundation for any successful lighting installation. Because each job is a custom project, the lighting installation team will also draw upon a vast inventory of unique and specialized bulbs. With literally hundreds of options ranging in all sizes, shapes, and colors, lamp technology has evolved into not only a science, but also an art form unto itself. These factors converge like a beam of light onto the subject, creating the magical lighting effect that has remarkably differentiated Phantom products as one-of-a-kind to our industry.
Phantom professionals have made a career of fine art lighting. Throughout the Houston area, which serves as home to our corporate headquarters, the wealthiest art patrons and professional art galleries come to Phantom whenever they need cutting-edge technology applied with the subtle and classic grace of fine art. Call us today to see how we can light your world in a better, more convenient way.
