Architectural lighting plays a central role in the way people feel about their living environment. Employed imaginatively, it can create a poetry of daily life by elevating the mundane and banal through a reinterpretation of everyday city objects and buildings.
a stroke of genius
Thanks to Philips Lighting’s ability to generate new experiences and emotions, we can help shape an inclusive, socially dynamic city. A place where people can feel part of a shared beauty that transcends their daily existence and links them to each other, to their past, and to an enlightened quality of life.
More and more, the expression of a town or city’s architecture will come from its lighting rather than from its structure. If buildings are the monumental canvases on which lighting designers paint their artistic vision of urban renewal, then light has helped to deliver their most telling brushstrokes.
And now Philips is expanding the palette with

into reality. Opening up a virtually infinite range of effects, Philips L E D luminaires are versatile enough to allow light to fill or underline, graze or pinpoint, mark or blend.With a choice of up to five colors, including white, they give free rein to the architect’s and designer’s creativity.
How it works
The basic structure of a LED consists of a dye or a
The semiconductor crystal, which is laboratory- grown, emits light initiated by a forward current within the LED .The light color varies depending on the nature and composition of the crystal used. Performance levels are continuing to rise dramatically. New packages are increasing the cooling efficiency for the dye, thus permitting higher current levels and hence higher light output.
