Phantom Lighting System

LED strip lights provide an ideal source of showcase lighting in any situation involving heat sensitive items. Materials such as makeup, textiles, foods, produce, can quickly deteriorate when exposed to forward radiant heat and/or ultraviolet light. Phantom LED festoon light strips generate only a small fraction of the heat of incandescent or Xenon equivalents, with the radiant heat of each individual lamp being roughly equivalent to that of a 1 watt light bulb. This makes them not only well-suited for various forms of retail showcasing, but also for museum lighting of historical documents, antiques, and ancient artifacts.

Over the past decade, we have also seen a growing demand for LED strip lights in cove lighting design work. LED Cove lighting requires both an optimal beam spread and a high lumens output that can dispel all shadows along a curved surface. Because it can be such a chore to replace cove lights when they fail, a longer lamp life is preferred in order to curtail maintenance costs. Furthermore, because cove lights tend to remain on for longer periods of time than task lights, it serves a budget well to use an energy efficient light source. Phantom led lights strips fulfill all of these requirements. With only 1.7 watts of power, the Phantom LED lamp is designed to ultimately replace all 3, 5, and 10 watt incandescent and festoon lamps by minimizing current without sacrificing light intensity.

Phantom LED strip light bulbs have also worked their way into larger industrial spaces as power savers and key components to LEEDS certification. In areas where scaffolding or man lifts must be used to service cove lighting systems in hard to reach areas or tall ceilings, Phantom LED light lamps reduce costs by exponentially reducing lamp replacement cycles. No other festoon bulb offers longevity comparable to a Phantom’s 50,000-hour lamp life. Incandescents burn out after approximately 7,500 hours and Xenon’s after about 20,000 hours. Incandescents and Xenon festoons also consume more power and emit less light.

What are some power-saving benefits of Phantom LED lamp technology?
Phantom LED lamps produce far less heat than other light sources and provide a tremendously longer lamp life than their incandescent and Xenon festoon lamp counterparts. Clients with sensitive materials will find an even greater value in the cool burning temperatures of LED lamps. Phantom LED lamps are also extremely versatile and can be used for custom cove lighting, under cabinet lighting, sensitive and/or high-end display lighting, and any other high performance linear strip lighting project.

What wattage low voltage festoon lamps are Phantom LED's designed to replace?
Our LED lamps have been designed as the ultimate technological replacement of 5 to 7 watt incandescent and Xenon festoons. In California, legislation has already mandated incandescent light bulb replacement by 2010, and other states may soon follow suit with similar laws of their own. In the meantime, commercial clients may serve themselves now by investing in Phantom low voltage LED lamps to obtain LEEDS certification in their respective industries. Requiring only 1.7 watts of energy, the Phantom LED lamp will operate on 12V AC and is completely dimmable. This gives it market versatility from a lighting designer’s perspective.

How can Phantom LED festoon lamps be used in residential applications?
Residential clients consistently praise Phantom Strip Lights as the best source of linear strip illumination they have ever utilized to adorn collectible displays, coves in vaulted ceilings, rare books and ornate shelving, and even certain forms of antique furniture. Each Phantom LED lamp in actuality consists of three ½ watt, tight color binning LED’s with a CRI of approximately 80. The combined, resulting output is 45-50 lumens depending on color temperature.

How much heat is created by Phantom LED lamps?
Sensitive objects are perfectly safe when illuminated with Phantom LED lamps, so displays may be left on for extended hours without risk of overheating. This is because Phantom technology is amazingly self-contained. A ribbed thermal design dissipates heat on the backside of the circuit. This not only prevents forward radiation of heat, it also produces the superior conductivity necessary to produce high lumens of output at extremely low wattage.

Can I use Phantom LED lamps in my existing linear lighting system?

Yes, Phantom LED lamps can be used in any 12 VAC low voltage linear lighting system that is designed for use with Xenon or Incandescent festoon lamps. Because the Phantom LED lamps have such a low amperage draw modifying the existing wiring is rarely an issue. As long as you have a 12 volt system with a magnetic (alternating current) transformer, the Phantom LED lamps function as a simple plug and play option.

Where can I purchase Phantom LED lamps in my area?
Phantom lighting is sold through traditional marketing channels throughout the United States, Mexico and Central America. I would recommend that you contact a lighting representative in your area or contact the factory toll free at 800-863-1184 X 125 for a color brochure.
