Philips Previews Intelligent LED Lighting Systems at LIGHTFAIR 2013

SOMERSET, N.J., April 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Next week at LIGHTFAIR International, Philips, the world leader in LED lighting systems, will be showcasing the next phase in the LED revolution with lighting solutions that rival traditional technologies in cost and light quality, while providing ease of installation, use, and control that is unique to LED. From best-of-breed components to fully integrated systems, offerings from across Philips' broad portfolio of outdoor, general illumination, lamps, and architectural solutions will be on display at booth #1401. 

Moreover, this year, Philips will be showcasing The Walk from Dutch artist Titia Ex, courtsey of the Light Art Centre. The art piece is a sphere that demonstrates the balance between art and technology using 5,000 pixels and LED innovations to create a unique and inspirational experience. Motivated by the works of poet Dante Alighieri, Titia Ex worked closely with Philips to realize her vision, depicting the journey through life using light to communicate the story.

Other highlights include:

• Philips Hue BR30 - A preview of the latest form factor to be added to the game-changing Philips Hue line-up. Benefitting from the same great light quality and mobile application approach as the Philips Hue A19, the new Philips Hue BR30 downlight, a 65-watt equivalent with a 91 CRI in the 2700k white range, allows for general illumination as with traditional downlights.
