Phantom Lighting System

As a fine art lighting manufacturer we always strive to improve our lighting equipment. At Phantom Lighting we always attend national trade shows, visit our specifiers and listen to feedback from our clients every chance we can get. We learn ways to solve problems our customers may have encountered on a job and use the constructive feedback to make our lighting fixtures better, easier to install and most importantly, user friendly. We occasionally get feedback on competitive products worth noting. So, when we hear a really good one, we like to pass it on to those who are considering using Phantom Lighting projectors.

I manage a large lighting showroom in Houston. I have always been reluctant to specify or furnish framing projectors to my customers because they are expensive and usually nothing but trouble. My lighting representative showed me the Phantom Contour Projector and just how easy it was to install over Wendelighting® optical projector or Laymance optical projectors, so I decided to use nine RM Series (remodel housings) on a retro-fit job. My installer was quite pleased with how easy the rough in process went, especially since no patching or painting was required. We trimmed out the projectors yesterday and I could not be more pleased. The ease and simplicity of the adjustable shutters makes this one of the most affordable and effective framing projectors on the market. I also used the custom template to light not only two works individually, but three on one wall. I plan to make Phantom Contour Projectors my standard for lighting fine art.

Phantom Lighting differentiates itself from all other recessed lighting manufacturers by engineering fine art lighting fixtures and low voltage display lighting products found nowhere else in the world. Phantom Lighting has earned a reputation as pioneers by developing patented technology that delivers precise measurements and variations of intensity from concealed lighting sources. No other art lighting manufacturer devotes the amount of time and energy that we invest in adapting our proprietary technology to the specific needs of each commercial and residential client. The Phantom Contour Projector has earned world-renowned acclaim for its ability to create the magical effect of “lighting art from within,” and our Phantom Strip Lighting series eliminates wiring by uniting near-invisible fixtures with display cases and shelving so as to fill the interior space with light that appears to emanate from all points at once. and art becomes light.

Lighting works of art is never an easy task even for design professionals. Optical framing projectors, such as the PHANTOM CONTOUR PROJECTOR, is one of a few specialty lighting fixtures that lighting designers, architects and art consultants use for these types of applications. This technology has been around for many years and was first introduced by an optical scientist named Rudolph Wendel. Mr. Wendel created this magical projector light which has thrilled art connoisseurs for years and was first used in the Louvre. Mr. Wendel's creation became the standard for fine art lighting worldwide.

Mr. Wendel's optical projector has evolved over the years and moved from an incandescent pre-focus light source to a 150-watt mini-can base halogen lamp. The halogen lamp produces a very white color of light that has good color rendering and is preferred by artists and collectors. Unfortunately, the halogen light source produces a tremendous amount of heat making the housing for the equipment large and bulky. Optically, the Wendelighting® optical projector is still the same today as it was when it was created by Rudolph Wendel. With changes in the energy code, advances in light sources and optical design, the Wendelighting® optical projector is being left behind by the Phantom Contour Projector

Today's standard for fine art illumination is the PHANTOM CONTOUR PROJECTOR. This high performance optical framing projector utilizes a very special 75-watt MR16 lamp that was originally designed for the fiber optic industry. Fitted inside a unique optical chamber the light is magnified and distributed through a series of lenses creating a very intense focused low voltage halogen light source. This focused light is projected onto the art and then shaped to fit the exact contour of the object, regardless of the size, creating a lighted from with look. This is done with either a basic shuttering system or a custom metal confinement plate to mask the light. It is even possible to illuminate more than one object individually, from one Phantom light by using a hand cut brass confinement plate. In fact, the Phantom Contour Project is so unique and so effective, it is was recently granted a US PATENT for innovation and design. The housing is half the size of the Wendelighting® optical projector housing and produces more light with less heat.
