SOMERSET, N.J. -- (Business Wire)
Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), the global leader in lighting,
today announced that after flattening the light bulb with Philips
SlimStyle, the company has flattened the downlight with the introduction
of the Philips SlimSurface LED family of downlights. Providing the
illusion of recessed downlighting, but with just a 5/8” surface mount
design that is nearly flush with the ceiling, SlimSurface allows
lighting to be installed in locations where wall and ceiling clearance
can be an issue, such as basements.

Designed for quick and easy installation to most standard junction
boxes, SlimSurface provides a long-lasting, affordable alternative to
traditional downlights. Moreover, SlimSurface downlights are ENERGY
STAR® certified, allowing them to qualify for utility rebate programs.
Philips SlimSurface uses Edgelit technology, which puts LEDs at the edge
of the fixture and uses a specially designed lens to ensure uniform
light distribution, similar to the Philips SlimStyle bulb. Taking
advantage of Philips LED technology to achieve lumen levels of up to
70lm/W and the soft, diffuse light customers expect, SlimSurface LED
downlights also eliminate any tell-tale signs of LED technology such as
hot spots.
SlimSurface benefits from the energy-efficiency and long life of LED
technology, using up to 85 percent less energy or as little as 10 watts
of power, and lasting nearly twice as long with a 50,000 hour rated life
(LM70) as compared to traditional downlights. With an integrated driver
and LEDs, there are also no bulbs to replace in the luminaire over its
lifetime.
Ideal for residential, high-rises, hospitality, and healthcare
applications, Philips SlimSurface can be installed on the ceiling or the
wall in dry or damp/wet areas. It is perfect for hallways, bathrooms,
basements, entry ways, porches, stairways, work areas, utility closets,
corridors, elevators and showers.
SlimSurface, which can be dimmed down to 10 percent, is available in a
variety of flexible designs and options, including:
-
4 inch and 6 inch square luminaires
-
5 inch and 7 inch round luminaires
-
2 color temperatures - 2700 K and 3000 K
-
2 lumen packages - 630 lm and 980 lm
-
2 Color Rendering Indexes - 80 CRI and 90 CRI
“As the thinnest surface mount luminaire available, the SlimSurface LED
is the first of its kind and continues to validate the price-breaking,
quality LED innovation that Philips is known for,” said Bruno Biasiotta,
President and CEO of Philips Lighting Americas. “It is aesthetically
pleasing and allows for easy, hassle-free installation, providing the
best of both worlds for specifiers and contractors. Not only does it
rival downlights, this luminaire range offers savings on all levels,
including lower energy usage, reduced installation costs and the
benefits of ENERGY STAR certification.”
The full Philips SlimSurface line has an MSRP of $40 - $50 and will be
available on October 23rd, with pre-ordering available now
through lighting distributors in the US and Canada. Please click here
