CosmoPolis - Building on the foundations

Philips’ invention of the low-pressure sodium (SOX) lamp and linear fluorescent lamp in the 1930’s laid the foundations for today’s outdoor lighting.Though in the 1960’s the favoured light sources became SON and HPL, the benefits remained the same: the team of white and gold lamps met your perceived needs for inexpensive white light where light quality mattered, and unbelievably low ownership costs where it did not.

With CosmoPolis, Philips presents to you another major step forward in urban lighting, developed specifically to build on these foundations, and also to meet the challenges you face in the 21st century. CosmoPolis simplifies lamp selection for you with a family of two matching miniaturised lamps, CosmoWhite and CosmoGold, and two optimised electronic gear systems.The cost-cutting and performance benefits of CosmoPolis are impressive:

Extremely high system energy efficiency, cutting energy consumption by 10% compared with SON, 30% compared with MASTER Colour and up to 150% compared with HPL.

Improved optical performance, thanks to optimal burner aspect ratio and positioning, and new locking base design.

Miniaturisation - lamps are 65% smaller than SON/HPL and gear 50% smaller; to provide unprecedented freedom in the design of optics and luminaires.

Longer service life than CDM-T lamps, and better lumen maintenance than CDO-TT or HPL lamps.

Reliable outdoor dedicated electronic gear, guaranteed for five years, saves energy and future-proofs installations for developments in centralised light control.

Environmentally friendly - a Green Flagship product to minimise environmental impact, and CO2 emission.

With CosmoPolis, the benefits you experience from using Philips’ advanced outdoor

HID lamps are more impressive than ever.

Urban Lighting specifications

Philips Urban Lighting stands at the forefront of smart city development, offering innovative lighting solutions that enhance public spaces while promoting sustainability and energy efficiency. As urban areas continue to expand, the demand for effective and intelligent lighting systems has grown. Philips, a leader in this industry, provides technologies that not only illuminate but also contribute to the overall well-being of city residents.

One of the key features of Philips Urban Lighting is its use of LED technology. LEDs are known for their longevity and low energy consumption, making them an ideal choice for cities aiming to reduce their carbon footprint. Compared to traditional lighting systems, LEDs can last up to 25 times longer, significantly reducing maintenance costs and the frequency of replacements. This longevity translates into fewer resources expended over time, contributing to a greener city.

Beyond energy efficiency, Philips Urban Lighting integrates smart city technology. Their systems can be managed through connected networks, allowing city planners to control lighting levels based on need. This adaptive lighting technology enhances safety and security while optimizing energy use. For example, lights can dim during low-traffic hours and brighten when pedestrian movement is detected, thereby ensuring well-lit but energy-efficient environments.

Another standout characteristic of Philips Urban Lighting is its focus on human-centric design. The lighting systems are tailored to improve the quality of life for urban residents. This includes enhancing visibility in public spaces and creating inviting atmospheres that encourage community interaction. The design options range from aesthetically pleasing fixtures to smart poles equipped with sensors that can monitor air quality, traffic patterns, and weather conditions.

Philips emphasizes the importance of flexibility and scalability in its urban lighting solutions. Whether it's upgrading existing infrastructures or building new ones, their systems can easily adapt to various urban environments. This adaptability makes it easier for cities to implement comprehensive lighting strategies tailored to their specific needs.

Finally, Philips Urban Lighting extends its commitment to sustainability by using recyclable materials in their products. This not only reduces waste but also aligns with global initiatives for a circular economy. By focusing on energy efficiency, smart technology, and human-centric design, Philips Urban Lighting sets a robust standard for the future of urban environments, promising brighter, smarter, and more sustainable cities.
