Showcase lighting strips provide brilliant, seemingly sourceless illumination. These strip lights customize to virtually any showcase lighting scenario and offer a wide range of trim options that deliver total control over lighting levels and keep the fixture itself out of sight. Those made by custom linear strip lighting manufacturers such as Phantom Lighting ships are custom cut in the factory display case dimensions and pre-configured with xenon, incandescent, fluorescent, or LED bulbs. Each bulb type delivers a different intensity and style of light that optimally meets specific display lighting requirements. Xenon is slightly whiter and has a better lamp life. Incandescent has a more golden glow that is preferable in some settings. LED is the most expensive on the front end, but consumes only 20% of the power of other bulb types. LED’s also burn cool and feature life spans of up to 50,000 hours.
