Philips Lighting

Philips Lighting announced a global partnership withVodafone to help drive widespread adoption of wireless

connected street lighting in cities across the

world.To

date, Philips CityTouch has reached 530 implementa-

tions across 33 countries, providing high quality light, energy savings and operational cost savings to form

a digital backbone for smart cities. Enabling cities to benefit from LED lighting and migrate to connected

street lighting at their own pace, the company unveiled Philips DigiStreet, the first LED street light that is

‘future-proofed’ with slots for sensors and wireless connectivity.

The company is also extending its portfolio to provide a complete capability, comprised of lighting in-

frastructure and professional services. Accordingly, it announced a partnership with US company Aisle411,

a leader in digital store mapping, product search and shopper analytics. Working together with Aisle411,

Philips Lighting will deliver the first connected lighting indoor positioning system in the Middle East for

aswaaq, the UAE-based community retailer.

For offices, Philips Lighting provided an update on how its partnership with Cisco is helping to create

more comfortable, sustainable and productive environments that benefit building owners, facility manag-

ers and office workers. Philips Lighting and Cisco are integrating connected lighting into the IoT for offices

through a combination of Philips Power over Ethernet (PoE) connected lighting systems with Cisco’s secure

IT networking infrastructure.

Philips Lighting launched lamps that reinvent the halogen spotlight, the classic filament lamp and the

dimmable LED. The Philips classic LED spot range is the first glass LED spot range that truly replaces the

popular halogen spotlight. It has the same look and feel as a classic halogen spotlight but is 90% more

energy efficient than classic halogen technology.The arrival of this breakthrough product will coincide with

the EU phase out of GU10 halogen spotlights in September 2016. The SceneSwitch LED lamp range com-

bines three light settings in one lamp, allowing users to select the right light for their needs by switching

their existing wall switches on and off. The classic LED range with filament has a nostalgic look and has

been extended to include DimTone, i.e. the more it is dimmed, the warmer the light effect.
