Phantom Lighting System

Cove lighting design adds dimension to interior architecture and design by adding a layer of accent lighting in otherwise unreachable places that function to blend general lighting with decorative lighting and fill the entirety of the room with a sense of luminary completion. Because lighting coves vary widely in depth and radius design, cove lighting requires a highly level of customization. Standard fixture designs prove inadequate on any but the most rigid and angular of surfaces. In a more sophisticated interior, xenon linear strips engineered to accommodate radial bends and narrow surfaces have to be used in order to conceal the light source and add mystique and ambiance to overall lighting design.

This allows the architect to focus on the structural designs of unique architectural elements without having to worry about what type of lighting he or she will later have to search for to illuminate the interior. With Phantom CM series kitchen cove lights, designers can simply submit a blueprint to our team and have our factory manufacture cove lights around the framework of the ceiling architecture. These strips can be made to fit radius bends of up to 360 degrees and remain completely concealed when installed. The resulting sourceless glow these cove lights produce allows building design professionals to apply some very unique attribution on a precision level to achieve any number of important accent and decorative strip lighting effects in key areas of commercial and residential structures.

Foyers, for instance, are intended to be more than simple entryways into an establishment. In a hospitality setting, they play an important role in establishing a sense of separation from the outside world. When guests walk into a foyer filled with ambient lighting, they immediately feel relaxed and welcome. LED strip cove lights in foyers can set the tone for an evening of fine dining, or a night in a well-furnished suite filled with amenity and charm. Equally important, cove lights in both hotels and restaurants can be used to initiate theme lighting designs. A recent project at Houston’s Aquarium restaurant features an installation of our CM linear lights along serpentine covers that wind along curving, fluid walls and ceilings built to mimic a sandy shoreline. Special 2800K LED lamps were used in these fixtures to mimic the color of sand.

In a troubled economy such theme accent lighting effects are remarkably cost effective when done with 2800K LED lamps. Already operating on a dimmable, low-voltage linear strip, these energy saving lamps further reduce costs by the simple virtue that they only need 20% of the power required by other luminaires in the first place. Restaurant cove lighting adds a very essential design element necessary to attracting repeat business at a negligible cost that is well worth the one-time investment in equipment.

Custom homes designed with visible trusses also experience a very powerful new dimension of lighting when lit from within by concealed cove lights or low voltage linear lighting systems. This serves to magnify the visibility of the beams without the visible presence of technology, and can be done in harmony with a number of decorative styles including rustic, Craftsman, or Arts and Crafts motifs.

Phantom linear cove lights offer architects and builders a flexible and multifunctional tool of ceiling accent lighting. Far more efficient and sophisticated than cove rope lights, linear strips feature longer lamp life and a greater range of colour temperatures. Many are also fully dimmable and capable of supporting a choice of lamp types including the new 2800K LED festoon cove lights that can equal the color rendering capabilities of xenon bulbs.

We patented our CM series linear strip to function as a template for high-end cove lighting applications in custom homes, hospitality industries, and elegant commercial interiors. This linear strip light is engineered for maximum concealment and flexibility, and can be fitted to even the most challenging ceiling environments. This is because of two very important reasons. The first is physical size. Phantom cove lights are smaller and thinner than most competing luxury lighting fixtures on the market. They are also engineered to be custom cut to fit any radius bend up to a full 360 degrees. This allows them to be installed in challenging environments such as serpentine coves and vaulted dome ceilings.

Another excellent advantage that Phantom cove lights offer is energy savings without compromise of lighting quality. Far more attractive than fluorescent equivalents, they are nonetheless competitively efficient due to their low-voltage engineering design and their fully dimmable lighting control mechanisms. Even greater cost savings can be instantly generating by having these fixtures manufactured with new 2800K LED festoons—a light source equivalent to xenon in color rendering capability. We see more and more restaurants and hotels choosing LED to save on energy costs and buffer their overhead against a sluggish market.

Residential home builders also becoming more interested in LED cove lighting construction for the very same reason. A new home today can be furnished and decorated with superb aesthetics that cove lighting plays an active role enhancing. Indirect decorative motifs appear more colorful and clear under the additional layer of accent lighting they create—at a negligible operating cost. Homeowners who have already purchased cove lights consider upgrading the festoon lamps in their fixtures to both reduce their electrical bills now and add value in the form of energy savings on the list price of their home.
