Outdoor architecture can only be fully appreciated with
a good balance between the aesthetical and functional needs of a city. The Philips Metronomis range of products is dedicated to such needs. It is elegantly designed to integrate harmoniously into any street scene during the day.
At night, Metronomis is functional in two ways - guiding traffic safely through the city while creating a pleasant ambience in city squares and pedestrian precincts. It succeeds in combining visual diversity with a coherent family design, gracing both modern and historical architectural environments.
Metronomis for residential areas
Lighting involves illuminating the surroundings with the aim to accentuate the beauty of the residential areas and parks. During the day the rows of lighting columns help set the pattern of the residential area.The correct height and suitable lighting spread creates a place where one can feel safe to wonder through the pavements and streets in the night. In residential quarters, the Metronomis louver hides the light source from view keeping light intrusion to a minimum.The Metronomis range comes in a controlled variety of designs, materials, colors and light sources bringing a degree of unity and appeal to the residential area both in the day
and in the night.
Metronomis for city squares, parks and gardens
The essential aim of lighting is to accentuate the beauty of the scene without creating large, excessive dark areas.

The Metronomis diffuser spreads and softens the lamplight, creating an effective and appealing nightscape. It also offers a choice of elegant highly functional optical elements as well as a range of dedicated columns and brackets, providing architects and lighting designers with an infinite variety of design and lighting effects.
