Phantom Lighting System

What options does Phantom’s Professional Lighting Equipment offer to builders, electrical contractors, and lighting designers?
Phantom’s professional lighting equipment can be customized to any number of commercial and residential marketplaces. Our equipment must feature specification grade design that ensures reliable performance and cost effective energy management, and it is user-friendly enough for the client to manipulate when necessary. Through our Agent network the contractor can obtain a variety of linear lighting products and projector lighting solutions to meet the complex demands of a challenging marketplace.

Does Phantom Lighting make cove lights?
Yes. The Phantom CM series is designed to bend a full 360 degrees if necessary to accommodate any radius, or wind along any varying angle to accommodate a serpentine cove. Standard cove lights have limited applications in these environments because of their fixed linear build. CM series cove lighting fixtures feature a compact design that hides it from the viewer’s eye and uses smaller transformers that are easier to conceal.

Does Phantom Lighting manufacture cabinet lighting fixtures?
Yes. Our professional lighting equipment intended specifically for cabinet lighting can be used for under cabinet, in-cabinet, and over the cabinet lighting. Both horizontal and vertical mount lighting strips are available for these applications. Builders can choose from lamping types that include incandescent, xenon, and LED in a complete spectrum of colour temperatures that will match luminance precisely to custom cabinetry and counter top color and texture. (Be sure to read about our latest development, the 2800K festoon lamp, as an example of this).

Does Phantom Lighting manufacture display lights?
Yes. Phantom specializes in overcoming the challenges of specialty display lighting with professional lighting equipment that is designed to hide its own physical presence within the shelving structure of display cabinets and utilize dimmable, sophisticated festoon lamping technology to showcase any variety of display items. Interior designers often use Phantom linear retail display lights to illuminate antiques, collectibles, and collectors’ firearms that require precise colour temperatures to showcase their true value. Professional lighting designers also prefer our equipment when illuminating items such as wine, rare books, and documents on display that require the totally heat less light source and the superior colour rendering of our 2500K LED festoon lamps.

Does Phantom make art lights?
Yes. Our Phantom Contour Projectors offer a low profile, art lighting fixture that mounts central to the room in the ceiling. The projector itself is smaller than competing models and is virtually invisible to the viewer’s normal line of site. No other form of professional art lighting equipment has proven so successful in minimizing glare and eliminating spill light. This is because Phantom’s proprietary engineering that focuses and shapes the light to the artwork in such a manner as to keep the beam itself invisible until it strikes the surface. This results in a magical “lighted from within” effect that causes the artwork to glow with an aura of seemingly sourceless light. Art consulting professionals use this art lighting equipment to create the most unique art lighting effects, including the illumination of statuary which requires a complex interplay of light and shadow to be effective, and which the Contour Projector is ideal for producing.

Hidden lighting creates superior aesthetics and variety in high-end lighting applications. In fine art lighting, anything that distracts the eye will diminish the presentation, so hidden lighting is used focus the viewer’s attention onto the piece instead of itself. In display lighting, hidden fixtures are just as important to lighting rare furnishings and display cases used to house eclectic contents. Without a compact and concealed light source, space becomes limited, and visibility obscured by the fixtures and lighting controls.

Phantom Contour Projector
The Contour Projector gives the collector a truly hidden light in every since of the term. The beam emanating from its lens cannot be seen from any angle of the room, regardless of the position of the viewer. This is a major development in projector technology when comparing projector products. Previous, more primitive equivalents produced a “spotlight” effect, with a beam of light clearly visible to the viewer and excessive spill light that often overpowered the canvas or sculpture. A hidden light beam has both an aesthetic advantage and a technical advantage over this approach. Obviously, art work looks better when there is no visible fixture to clutter the view. More importantly, every work of art can be optimally showcased if the light beam is focused and shaped to fit its unique proportions, texture, color and style.

Phantom Projectors are able to create this effect by focusing white light from a halogen source and passing it through a series of adjustable filters. The filters are set to precisely match the dimensions of a painting or sculpture. When the hidden light from the Contour Projector strikes the art, it suddenly becomes visible as an ambient glow which is called “the lighted from within” effect.

Phantom Linear Strips
While many linear strips can be successfully concealed from the viewer’s line of sight, the equipment used to power them is often difficult to hide. Most hidden strip lights use bulky and cumbersome transformers that are all but impossible to keep out of sight. Wiring is another problem with some hidden lighting strips. Even if the strip itself is not visible, wiring can slip out of wherever they are tucked away and ruin a showcase or display. Truly elegant display lighting and showcase lighting require a hidden source of illumination that not only conceals the strip, but also the electrical components used to power the strip.

Phantom linear LED strip lights were engineered for the design contractor who found larger and more cumbersome pieces to be a frustrating encumbrance to the fine art of interior decorating. Phantom linear strips will work as hidden lights in any display cabinet, bookshelf, breakaway, showcase, cabinet, wine rack, or cove. The key to this diversity in application lies in their basic design. Phantom engineering eliminates visible wiring by conducting electricity along metal shelf standards. It is also powered by a transformer that is much smaller and therefore easier to conceal than those of other strip lights. Perhaps more importantly, each linear light strip is custom manufactured to the precise dimensions of the case, display, rack, or furnishing for which it is intended. This creates a much more seamless and integrated installation of the fixture into its surrounding and hides the light source so effectively that cabinet and display interiors appear to glow with a luminance of their own.
