Lighting Supply & Light Supplies
Architects, builders, and interior decorators have long had to rely exclusively upon lighting supply distributors whose first priority was to sell what was in stock. Custom orders have often been difficult to fill through these brick and mortar lighting suppliers simply because these distributors simply HAVE to keep standard moving out the door to stay in business. Custom orders are much more difficult to fulfill because they take a great deal of time to design and requisition, and they are therefore much less cost effective for the distributorship to consistently provide.This has all changed, now. Thanks to the Internet, Phantom Lighting has emerged as a next generation lighting supply manufacturer that has risen to international prominence by providing direct, initial personal consultation, targeted referral to the right technical specialist in our representative agent network, custom manufacturing per client demand, and expeditious product delivery. Resultantly, specific benefits flow from this more efficient business model to a number of professions within the design community at large.
Architects rely on Phantom Lighting to supply them with custom cove lights when standard fixtures prove inappropriate or inadequate for eclectic interior architecture.
The Phantom CM series cove lighting fixtures feature a number of benefits that are not present in standard cove lights.
· A potential radius fit of up to 360 degrees, making it possible to bend the strip either in a winding pattern or form it as a full circle.
· Full dimmability that allows the user to set ambient light levels at precise levels of luminance
· Concealed wiring, hidden transformers, and a smaller linear strip mount that make it near invisible
· Support for 2800K LED festoon lamps that rival xenon in colour temperature
These features make the CM series cove light the architect’s dream when it comes to lighting theme-oriented restaurant interiors such as Houston’s Aquarium, or when recommending a fixture that adds an additional layer of luminance to the general ceiling lighting of a custom home.
Architects can also create some very unique and sophisticated lighting effects by combining our flush-ceiling mount Contour Projectors with pattern gobos. Restaurants, hotels, and event planners can create a gobo depicting their company logo and use a Phantom Contour to project the image onto a wall or into a lobby area.
Phantom offers the residential builder a diverse supply of custom-built undercabinet lights, kitchen cabinet lights, truss lighting fixtures, and art lighting equipment.
Builders often install cove rope lights to provide a general cove and cabinet lighting source for new homeowners. This almost always never pays off in the long for the homeowner. It is very difficult to control the glare produced by rope lights because of their unshielded design. They are also somewhat difficult to conceal, and they tend to have a relatively short life expectancy.
Phantom’s high-performance linear strip lights outperform inferior rope lights in almost every aspect of luminance and quality of light.
· Phantom Lighting supplies a much more resilient and flexible strip that is already mounted onto an on board glare shield
· Phantom cabinet lights completely conceal themselves both in and under cabinets
· Our light strips supply power to festoon lamps through buss bars and metal shelf supports and thereby eliminate all visible wiring.
· As a result, this unique and patented design can be used as a low voltage festoon light in or under any custom cabinet without disruption to aesthetics or annoying entanglements with wiring.
Builders can also use our Phantom Contour Projectors to set any home apart from neighboring residences. Many spaces in a new home like the fireplace, dining room, library, den, and family room are ideal spots for hanging fine art, but lose their ideal aesthetic if they become cluttered with obtrusively visible accent lighting fixtures. Supply companies normally offer builders eyeball lights to provide a general overhead light that will also illuminate images hung on the wall, but these seldom do justice to truly fine works of art and originals. The Contour Projector is a much more precision lighting instrument that uses a “lighted from within” effect to create a magical glow around the artwork, and better reveals the intrinsic value of a masterpiece better than a standard luminaire can accomplish.
Lighting designers can rely upon our custom manufacturing and supply distribution channels as a technical extension of their creativity.
As artists, decorators little, if any, time to waste muddling through technical jargon and complicated installation instructions. They need a lighting supply manufacturer that can provide them with technology that is sophisticated in its delivery power, yet easy to use.
· Interior designers are welcome to directly call our main Houston office to express their plans for interior design.
· After the initial consultation, our team will direct them to the very best agent in their area that will meet their specific needs.
· This is more than simply a referral to a distributorship, because every Phantom Lighting Representative tends to specialize in one or more particular form(s) of lighting.
· Our intention is to get the designer to the right lighting salesman who will intuitively grasp the creative vision the decorator already has in mind and find the most applicable hardware to materialize that vision.
· This allows the designer greater freedom in proposing propose the wall art, furniture arrangements, draperies, specialty showcase displays, and fine art most suited for the homeowner in full confidence that our custom lighting products will fully support the final outcome of his or her labor.
Our lighting supply resource network is particularly useful to the designer in this last respect. Because it is common for designers to hang fine art in dining rooms and libraries and to decorate mantles and fireplaces with small statues and three dimensional abstracts, it is often very hard to find the best art projector that is small enough to properly and safely illuminate the piece without clashing with the surrounding design scheme. Contour Projectors overcome this challenge with a much more compact, sheik design that hides near the ceiling and conceals not only themselves, but the actual light they project. Viewers never see the beam of light that emanates from a Phantom Projector. All they see instead is a statue or painting that appears to glow with its own special aura of luminance over the fireplace, on the wall, or in the den.
