Phantom Lighting is the brainchild of Illuminations Lighting Design, a Houston based lighting design build firm over 20 years ago. The company holds several patents for Phantom Lighting fixtures and is continuously working to add new products as needs develop and technologies evolve. The Phantom Lighting concept was simple at first and quickly grew into one of the most effective accent lighting fixture selections on the market today for fine art illumination and display lighting. The Phantom Lighting System is comprised of two main product categories: Phantom Contour Projector and Phantom Lighting Strips.
Phantom Lighting Strips
Phantom low voltage lighting strips were introduced in the early 80's to illuminate bookcases, breakfronts, armoires, shelves and display cases. The early lighting strips were hand fabricated on site by skilled craftsmen and perfectly fitted inside furniture, antiques and shelving for display applications. Today, we follow that same model and carefully fabricate each order to insure that the light was built for the cabinet and not just modified to fit. The adjustable shelf concept, our legendary patented process allows for completely adjustable shelves, without the need for tools or unsightly exposed wiring. Phantom lighting strips are simple by design, but highly flexible due to various trim configurations which allow for hiding the lamps and providing glare free continuous illuminations. Models are available for horizontal mounting, vertical mounting, indirect mounting and radius applications. With a variety of incandescent and xenon lamps in both 12 and 24 volts, Phantom Lighting Systems is a leader in linear display and strip lighting. See our article in Aprill issue of LD+A Magazine.
Phantom Contour Projectors
Phantom Contour Projectors, another product from the designers at Illuminations, are high performance lighting instruments created specifically for illuminating fine art. They utilize precision lenses, halogen lamps and a patented masking technique to contour focused light onto the art or sculpture with spectacular results. In fact, you can illuminate one or more paintings individually from one source regardless of the shape of the art. For years the Wendel projector was the standard for fine art lighting, but not anymore. Developments in lamp technology, optics and energy savings requirements have been incorporated into the Phantom Contour Projector. This equates to a smaller, more efficient, cooling running, cost effective optical framing projector. The Phantom Contour Projector has now become the projector of choice by lighting and design professionals. Architects, engineers, lighting designers and discriminating clients all agree that the Phantom Contour Projector looks better, is easier to install and requires no formal training to acheive world class results.
Imagine a space where fine art appears to come alive, where paintings appear to leap off the walls, where pictures appear to be illuminated from within. Imagine a museum where sculptures seem to float, magically suspended and enlivened by some unseen source of light. Imagine canvases and statues transformed by lighting that breathes life into each image. Now imagine actually creating such a space in your home, office, gallery or museum. That's what Phantom Lighting is all about!

With today's modern homes, whole house surge protection devices are necessary components that safeguard all electronic systems against power surges, voltage fluctuations, voltage spikes and minor lightning strikes. Sure, most people have a surge protector on their computer. But did you know that you could protect your whole house, along with all your electrical investments, using one surge protection device?
If you think about it, just about everything in your house has some kind of electronic component built-in the device. These include appliances, HVAC systems, garage door openers, televisions, stereo equipment, telephones and satellite systems. It could add up to hundreds if not thousands of dollars if you had to replace these electronic devices due to a power surge. It is not uncommon for a high definition plasma TV, for example, to cost over $10,000--not to mention the associated components. Installing a Mission CriticalGard Surge Protection System from Illuminations will give you peace of mind and assurance that your investments are protected day or night, twenty four hours a day.
Why Do You Need Surge Protection Devices?
Minimize Life & Safety Issues
Greatly Reduce Repair or Replacement Costs
Minimize Power Quality Risks
Reduce Power Interruptions
Extend Equipment Life
What Are Indoor and Outdoor Threats?
Switching
The simple act of turning on or off a light, motor, appliance or other electrical device can disturb the electrical current and create surges or transients. In general, the larger the load, the greater the disturbance when the load is switched on or off. Studies have shown that the majority of transients, roughly 80%, are generated inside a given building.
Lightning Strikes
Lightning strikes the United States 90 million times per year for an estimated 56 billion dollars in property damage annually. It is responsible for approximately 30,000 building fires annually and causes 30% of all power outages.
Utility Grid
When demands fluctuate, the utility companies have to increase or decrease power resources. This switching can cause massive surges in your home and result in extensive damage throughout the house.
Disruption
Any occurrence that causes a disruption on the utility grid causes a surge in voltage. Even common occurrences such as tree limbs falling, auto accidents, and thunderstorms can create a disruption.
Utilities
Cable TV and telephone wires can also contribute to unwanted variations in voltage from the pole to your house, causing damage to electronic devices.
