Focusing Optical Projectors

There are a couple of challenges when focusing optical projectors to illuminate art, but it’s nothing that a little professional expertise can’t solve. These fixtures are designed to be easy to handle, even by people who have no confidence in their technical skills. While installation is simple enough, securing the right placement spot takes a little planning and foresight. Consulting with an expert can solve any possible issues, and professionals have access to additional customization options. These options can sidestep a lot of common issues associated with high power display fixtures and ensure a seamless, blended appearance.

The advantage of focusing optical projectors to illuminate art is a highly stylized and elegant result, so long as you get the fixture placement and the beam spread right. This is essential to framing the illumination and metering it properly along the edges. If the fixture is placed above eye level, it must be offset to prevent glare from bouncing back into the observer’s face. However, offsetting the fixture requires extra ceiling space, which isn’t always available. Phantom’s fixtures overcome this with a unique lensing apparatus that allows for multiple beam angle options. The beam angles are produced by finely adjusting the focal lenses inside the fixture, and adjusting the beam angle enables the installer to place the fixture at one of several distances. So, if necessary, the fixture can be placed close or far away, and even way down a corridor or hallway if the homeowner opts for Phantom’s 150fl lenses. As one of the most advanced fixture technologies on the market, projectors using shaped illumination may be a bit intimidating for a homeowner, but they are easy to use and quick to install with a little professional assistance.

Phantom offers several methods for adjusting its framing projectors. Manipulating the beam angle is one, and it’s a powerful technique that allows for a large variety of placement options. This is accomplished by changing the arrangement of the focal and condensing lenses inside the fixture. Additional beam angle options mean that the light can be placed at one of several distances, allowing for easy installation in any room. The light doesn’t have to be placed straight on because all of Phantom’s art fixtures are made with a rotating ring and cradle that provide near limitless aiming ranges, both vertical and horizontal.

Finally, with one of several masking attachments, the fixture will produce a shaped beam that only lights up the subject, and nothing else. This is an effect that is rarely seen with other art lighting products and one that every homeowner will appreciate once they see it. With the mask, the painting or sculpture will look like it’s glowing from within, and this will be sure to make the subject stand out and become the focal point of the space. Showing the true advantage of focusing optical projectors on your art pieces.
