“Philips recognises and understands the fundamental changes taking place in the world today,” said Rudy Provoost, CEO of Philips Lighting. “Lifestyles are changing, urbanisation is presenting new challenges for city leaders, and society in general is more environmentally aware. We are applying the functional and creative potential of LED lighting to address these trends, and to simply enhance life with light.”

With its new products, Philips is addressing the needs of a range of market segments. A revolutionary concept for the home, LivingAmbiance enables a room to adapt to any mood or occasion, integrating multiple luminaires and lamps wirelessly to generate verious types of ambient lighting.

LivingAmbience also incorporates Philips’ latest generation of LivingColors, the acclaimed range of consumer luminaires which enable thousands of colours to be selected at the touch of a button.

Also created for the home environment are the three new product families, Lirio by Philips, Arcitone and Ledino, which offer the design flexibility of LED lighting with bold new forms, materials and finishes.

Philips is also hoping to drive the uptake of LED in outdoor urban spaces, with the hope of helping cities improve road and pedestrian safety, reduce night-time light disturbance and make significant energy savings.

During 2010, Philips will introduce a range of outdoor luminaires, CitySoul, CitySpirit, MileWide and StreetStar, all built around Ledgine, a future-proofed and fully upgradable platform for outdoor luminaires.
