From luminous carpets and ceilings, to helping patients sleep better
and managing light in classrooms or landscapes, Philips integrates the
latest in luminaires and controls, taking lighting beyond illumination
NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)
Royal Philips (NYSE:PHG, AEX:PHIA), the global leader in lighting, today
announced it will showcase the latest innovations in connected lighting
systems, including Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) luminaires, app-based
controls and cloud-based technologies at LIGHTFAIR International 2015.
On display at the Philips booth #1207 will be luminous carpets and
ceilings, as well as unique lighting systems, such as HealWell for
hospital environments, new applications that allow remote management of
lighting technologies, to demonstrate how Philips continues to deliver
value beyond illumination to meet the unique goals of businesses,
organizations and individuals.
“We live in an Internet-age marked by 24/7 connectivity and these trends
are fundamentally transforming the way we use and interact with light,”
said Eric Rondolat, CEO of Philips Lighting. “We pioneered the way to
energy-efficient LED lighting and are now doing the same for connected
lighting, delivering transformative implementations for cities, offices,
retail and the home. We’re driving value in lighting that goes beyond
illumination and energy efficiency. For example, this includes
streetlights that communicate their location and slash the cost of
maintenance, office lighting to improve productivity and supermarket
lighting to enhance customer loyalty by enabling special offers to be
pushed to shoppers’ smartphones. Our innovations are driving the biggest
shake-up in the industry since the invention of the electric light bulb.”
Connected Lighting Systems
- Connected fixtures with visible light communications (VLC): Philips
Lightolier Calculite LED round downlights use Power-over-Ethernet and
VLC technology to allow for location awareness to deliver professional
lighting experiences and offer control via personal devices. PoE
delivers low-voltage power and data over a single Ethernet cable,
allowing you to configure and redesign spaces without changing the
electrical infrastructure. VLC allows location to be determined
through a high-frequency lighting signal that can be detected by a
smartphone or tablet.
- Philips ActiveSite: is a cloud-based connected lighting
management platform that allows Philips Color Kinetics architectural
LED lighting systems to be remotely monitored, maintained and managed.
Content, such as light shows, can be uploaded from anywhere in the
world. ActiveSite has recently been adopted as part of the Tappan Zee
lighting project in New York City.
- Philips Envision: is afully integrated, indoor lighting
management software platform that offers centralized management and
monitoring of all system components at the building or space level.
The Envision suite offers superior energy efficiencies when combined
with LED upgrades, enabling benefits that go beyond illumination, such
as reduced maintenance costs, improved space optimization and control
of lighting and settings, such as temperature.
- Philips CityTouch connector nodes: make any LED street light
connected with Philips ‘plug & play’ CityTouch connector nodes, a new
patented technology from Philips enabling city authorities to get
their street lights network ready with an easy to install, first of
its kind system that uses the cellular network to connect LED street
lights from any manufacturer for remote management by Philips
CityTouch software. The technology helps cities protect investments by
making ‘dumb’ third-party street lights smart and connected, while
reducing energy consumption by up to 70 percent compared to
conventional lighting technologies.
- Philips ZoneScape: isanapp-based control system
that allows users to turn on and off pre-determined zones of landscape
lighting with a smartphone.
- Philips Lumec RoadFocus LED Cobra Head: are roadway luminaires
that provide energy-efficient, uniform light distribution with a
familiar cobra head aesthetic for seamless integration. RoadFocus
combines with the Philips CityTouch lighting management software
platform for a connected lighting system that provides additional
benefits, such as dimming, energy data and real-time alerts for more
efficient maintenance response.
- Philips Lumec SleekVision and ClassicStyle post topand
bollards: offer modern and traditional designs for lighting open
public spaces safely and sustainably. Both incorporate ClearGuide LED
technology, a revolutionary vertically-oriented light engine that
provides excellent visual comfort and facial recognition without
compromising performance.
Architectural Applications
- Philips OneSpace luminous ceiling: integrates LED lights and
fabric to create an incombustible white light ceiling surface that
hides the source of light completely, offering architects a unique and
innovative solution that provides uniform, glare-free functional white
light for hospitality, public, and retail spaces. The system has an
ultra-thin minimalistic design and is available in customized sizes
and a variety of mounting options, allowing for the highest level of
design freedom.
- Philips Interior Linear IntelliHue Powercore: a luminaire that
boasts a new concealed linear form factor with a clean and minimal
design that will be the base of an interior product family redesign.
This luminaire supports the highest level of ActiveSite integration to
date supporting remote monitoring and management of individual
lightpoints.
- Philips Luminous Carpets: Philips and Tandus Centiva are
integrating the carpet into commercial interior design, using carpets
as a communication medium. Now the flooring is a programmable
messaging tool capable of informing, directing, welcoming and
inspiring people. For example, the carpet can direct people to
building exits in case of an emergency, or point them to the coffee
machine or restrooms.
