Undercabinet Kitchen Lighting
Architects know that the homes they design have kitchens which will need the best undercabinet kitchen lighting fixtures. Beneath these cabinets are counter tops that serve a dual purpose of decoration and multi-task utility. Shadows in these spots are both unattractive and possibly hazardous.
Eliminating these dark areas with the best undercabinet kitchen lighting fixtures instantly improves the aesthetic and safety of utility areas, and can play a major contributing role in a home buying decisions.
To ensure that the most important elements of kitchen under cabinet lighting are met, architects must move beyond generic puck lights and outdated fluorescent “energy savers” toward a more robust engineering and manufacturing design that captures the intentions of an artist with the precision of a scientist.
Phantom Ultra TL Series LED light strips are designed for any linear task or undercabinet kitchen lighting application and represent a breakthrough in strip lighting technology. Perfect for kitchens, offices, desks, or countertops, these low profile task lights are easily concealed regardless of the cabinet design, giving a new definition to the phrase, “See the Light, Not the Fixture.”
Custom mounting trims establish the optimum aiming angle which allows the contents of any area to be illuminated to a precise degree at the highest level of aesthetics yet to be seen. Strips are precut to any desired length to be custom fitted for continuous undercabinet kitchen lighting. Strips are dimmable using a magnetic low voltage dimmer and produce a quality of consistent color and lumen output unmatched by competing products.
LED under cabinet lights can also play a contributing role in reducing cooling costs. Most people who invest in the best undercabinet lighting fixtures tend to want to leave them on in the kitchen if and when it is safe to do so. A hot-burning light source is going to trigger the thermostat to activate the HVAC system, driving up power bills in the process. However, LED light bulbs emit light electronically rather than chemically through the ignition of gas in a sealed glass container. This makes them a very low-heat source of illumination, perfectly safe to burn throughout the night, and negligible in terms of impact on room temperature.
For applications that require color temperatures ranging from 2200K-4000K, Phantom also offers xenon under cabinet lighting options that offset the higher power consumption curve with dimmability options and low-voltage transformers engineered to curtail excessive electrical consumption. Our purpose is to provide our commercial design clients with the full range of necessary color temperature compliments to every cabinet build, interior decorating scheme, and general lighting requirements they may encounter in custom undercabinet kitchen lighting design.
The linear strip lighting that powers our low voltage cabinet lights are sophisticated pieces of engineering in their own right. These linear strips are very small in comparison to most competing models, and they are much easier to conceal beneath the surfaces of a variety of cabinet sizes and custom builds. Two very important features of these lighting strips include eliminating not only shadows, but also reflective glare.
Rather than mounting in the center of the under surface like puck lights, or in the back as many fluorescent fixtures install, Phantom TL light strips fit under the front of kitchen cabinets. Special glare shields that are built into the lights direct the light backward away from the eyes and across the utility areas under countertops. Dimmer controls allow the homeowner to adjust lighting levels to match those created by general overhead lighting. This adjustability allows the end user to create a contiguous luminous that is both source less and seamless from the viewer’s perspective, and creates a very attractive setting for gatherings, parties, and cooking demonstrations.
Phantom Lighting makes it easy for architects to incorporate our kitchen under cabinet lighting fixtures into their custom home designs. Each fixture is custom cut to the dimensions provided to us by the architect. The choice of LED or xenon sourcing is determined (with the help of a Phantom specialist if need be), and a purchase order for custom manufacturing of the fixtures is set in order.
