Enhancing peoples lives with lighting

Light is a fundamental part of life. It gives us the natural rhythm of day and night,

determines how we see things and brings the world to life. Accordingly, light has a majorimpact on our well-being, mood and emotions. It inspires, attracts, communicates, sets the

scene and enhances our experience of architectural spaces.

Each year, we at Philips invest heavily in research to gather end-user insights, further deepening our

understanding of peoples needs, desires and aspirations. Combining these insights with our technological

leadership, we are able to deliver meaningful innovations advanced, energy-efficient products and

systems that are designed around people and are easy to experience solutions that will help us create a

sustainable future.

Quality of life the challenge ofunparalleled urbanisation

A century ago less than 10% of the worlds population lived in cities. By the start

of the 21st century this figure had risen to over 50%, and by the middle of the

century it will be over 75%. Faced with this unparalleled expansion, city

authorities worldwide recognise the need to re-humanise the urban

environment by tackling crime and vandalism, promoting tourism, developing

local business and fostering local identity and pride.

city.people.light

Over the past decade, Philips has been engaged in a process called city.people.light to

explore how light can be applied to enrich and simplify the human experience of the urban

setting. city.people.light aims to stretch creative and intellectual boundaries towards more

innovative and relevant solutions. To do this, we enrich our own thinking through extensive

dialogue. We share ideas and network with partners such as the Professional Lighting Designers

Association (PLDA), and we have established an annual city.people.light award in conjunctionwith LUCI (Lighting Urban Community International) Association.

Lighting a greener urban future

The landscape of the lighting industry is changing fast, driven by the energy-

efficiency imperative and the world of possibilities opened up by the LED

revolution, not to mention legislative pressures such as Kyoto and the Energy-

using Products directive. To help municipal decision makers keep up to date with

the latest developments and the best solutions for creating a sustainable city, we

are spreading the word under the theme of Sustainable Cities. In this way we

want to help urban authorities reduce energy consumption, thereby helping to

lower CO2 emissions, and improve the quality of life in their towns and cities.

Sustainability simple changes, major impact

Philips has a long-standing commitment to providing lighting solutions that improve peoples

lives and are environmentally sound. This is one of the cornerstones of our sustainability policy,

whereby we strive to balance our social, economic and environmental responsibilities.

Proactively addressing environmental issues in pursuit of a sustainable, brighter future, we

are constantly exploring ways to maximise energy efficiency, minimise the use of hazardous

substances and reduce waste. The four key themes at the heart of our sustainability drive for

urban lighting are white light, energy management, night preservation and solid-state lighting.

Thanks to Philips sustainable outdoor lighting solutions, it has never been easier to use light in

a responsible way.

Best environmental choice

Our top EcoDesigned products carry the Green Product

Logo. An independent external consultant has validated

these products and confirmed that they are at least 10%

better than comparable products in terms of energy

efficiency, lifetime reliability and / or hazardous substances,

and offer a better overall environmental performance.

Transforming your urbannightscape

Today, outdoor lighting solutions no longer have to rely only on yellow light.

There is an alternative which is much more successful in combining the qualities

of daylight with the energy efficiency associated with high-pressure sodium. This

alternative is high-quality white light. High-quality white light can transform urban

streets at night and not just aesthetically, but also in terms of safety, security

and energy efficiency.

Research has demonstrated that high-quality white light offers many clear advantages over

yellow light. For example, the ambience is perceived as brighter, colours appear more natural

and it is easier for pedestrians and cyclists to recognise the faces of other people and obstacleson the street. This greater clarity improves the general feeling of security. Because it improves

visibility, especially in the periphery, which can be very important for motorists, white light can

make the roads safer as well. And thats not all. Modern white light sources offer comparable or

even better energy efficiency than high-pressure sodium lamps.

High-quality white light is the green switch solution for outdoor installations, allowing

you to realise significant savings in a variety of ways. For instance, it is possible to specify a

greater distance between luminaires in new installations, to reduce the mounting height in

refurbishment projects, or to instal lower wattage lamps in upgrades. This means lower running

costs and CO2 emissions that are lower than was ever thought possible as well as superior

light quality.

Energy management lighting onlywhen it is needed

Energy management is a top priority. Many of the city.people.light concepts focus

on energy management, possible ways of recycling energy and different types of

energy source (e.g. solar, gas, electricity). They also acknowledge the potential

conflict between energy management and the increasing use of light for identity

and communication. Against this background, the research indicates that issues of

lighting design and energy management will become increasingly interlinked and

convergent over the coming decade.

Several options for energy management are proposed, from intelligent lighting, where the

lighting is triggered by activity, to alternative energy sources and stand-alone solutions as

well as flexible lighting installations that adapt to the rhythm of the day. This will help to fulfil

peoples needs and patterns of use throughout the entire 24 hours, simply by adjusting the

source, intensity and direction.

We can manage and reduce our energy consumption by managing our lighting effectively.A good lighting application is characterised, among other things, by having precisely the right

level of lighting in the right place at the right time. The required lighting level often depends on

external parameters such as traffic volume, ambient brightness and weather conditions. When

there is very little traffic on the roads, drivers do not require the same level of lighting as when

traffic is at its heaviest. Similarly, why illuminate monuments in the middle of the night when

there are few people out and about to see them? Dimming is an ideal means of saving energy

without adversely affecting either light uniformity or safety.

Night preservation light onlywhere it is needed

There is growing public concern about a number of lighting-related issues such

as night preservation and light nuisance on facades. Night preservation means

reducing wasted light at night while maintaining a safe level of visibility. At Philips,

we design sustainable solutions to minimise obtrusive and stray light, thus

reducing light pollution and saving energy.

Light nuisance includes light trespass, for example light that enters our bedrooms and prevents

us from sleeping. There is also direct upward light, i.e. light that is wasted and can disturb the

biorhythm of wildlife. Sky glow prevents astronomers from seeing the stars, but also prevents

the general public from enjoying the wonderful night-time atmosphere. Finally, glare has a

direct impact on our visual comfort, but also on our safety because it reduces our ability to see.

We need to find a healthy compromise, a rational medium, between the darkness of the

night sky and the bright glare of light pollution. A good place to start would be to minimise

the intensity of urban lighting. Lighting is therefore managed as a functional asset for peoples

guidance and comfort in the city. The lighting solution would take the form of minimal light dots

distributed precisely and integrated into the streets around us. Such an approach would enable

us all to experience the night in a more natural way.

Philips has a wide range of outdoor lighting solutions designed to deliver

the required quality and quantity of light while also reducing light pollution and saving energy.

Solid-state lighting solid progress

Solid-state or LED lighting represents the most significant development in

lighting since the invention of electric light well over a century ago. Offering

excellent light quality and unprecedented design freedom in terms of colour,

dynamics, miniaturisation and architectural integration, it is opening up exciting

new possibilities, e.g. for scene setting and ambience creation.

LEDs provide a completely new form of lighting. Linear LED light sources and the rise of

grazing lighting applications are changing the way we use light. The light output of LEDs is

increasing rapidly, making them suitable for general lighting applications. LEDs are more energy

efficient than most existing light sources, especially if we take into account their optical

efficiency. And things will only get better, with their level of efficiency more or less doubling

every two years.

From theatre sets and television studios to renowned architectural structures, interiors and

artworks, Philips customers are pushing the boundaries in their forward-looking use of light to

enhance spaces, build brands and appeal to the imagination.
