Architectural coves invite the challenge of providing continuous dramatic lighting- and the Phantom Lighting Systems has successfully met that challenge with cove lighting. Due to our low profile design and unique construction, we are able to provide an extreme amount of flexibility in our adaptation to unusual shapes or radius coves. The cove lighting system also requires less space and allows for a tighter and cleaner fit, as well as furnishing a warm continuous light through the use of dimmers. These features make cove lighting far superior to traditional systems and apply to both kick space and window valance installations.

The Phantom Lighting System, developed in 1985, is the premier custom low voltage lighting system available. The flexibility of its unique patented design makes it a favorite choice of architects, builders and interior designers. A Phantom cove lighting system is custom manufactured for each display application. It can provide an atmosphere of bold illumination or a subtle glow of warmth and beauty. No matter which design you choose, you will enjoy your customized effect without ever seeing the source of the light.

This cove lighting system has been carefully engineered to ensure that the light source is concealed from each viewing angle, no matter how severe. Its invisible nature makes it the perfect lighting system for use in coves, as well as in shelf lighting, display lighting, task lighting, furniture lighting and cabinet lighting. In fact, our patented strip lighting has been the preferred choice by the owners of premier residences, office buildings and retail spaces.

Although our cove lighting system may not be visible to the eye, that does not mean the quality or the durability of the light source has been compromised in its manufacturing. In fact, instead of using trim derived from plastics, which can deteriorate, the standard trim used on the invisible light source is made of zinc-plated steel. However, when showcasing is a design element, we are the only company that can provide you with the options of polished or satin brass or polished or satin stainless steel trims for your strip lighting system. The results of the attention paid to this detail are a safe, energy efficient and maintenance free operation and a long life product.

Remember, the Phantom Lighting System is the most effective product made to solve problems of indirect lighting and hard-to-light spaces. Each unit is custom-fabricated for its specific installation and satisfaction is always assured. It is the perfect task light and works in virtually any other space, large or small, where an invisible light source is required. Both functional and aesthetic, the Phantom Lighting System is found in America's finest homes.
