Philips Lighting
Philips Lighting Division has a deep insight into people's demand for public environment and private space, and is committed to introducing innovative and end-user-oriented efficient and energy-saving lighting solutions and application products.
As a global leader in lighting, Philips is striving to promote the transformation of the whole society to energy-efficient solutions. Since lighting accounts for 19% of global electricity consumption, the use of energy-efficient lighting will greatly reduce energy consumption worldwide and reduce harmful carbon dioxide emissions. Philips provides advanced energy-efficient solutions in all fields, including road, office, industrial, entertainment and home lighting. Philips is also in the leading position in the application and technical use of building new lighting in the future. For example, LED technology has more advantages in addition to high efficiency and energy saving, and provides countless new and unprecedented lighting solutions.
Main innovation of Philips Lighting
In 1914, Philips developed the first headlamp, which let you see the light of day even at night
In 1924, Philips developed a dual tungsten filament "DUPLO lamp", which allows the bulb to have both low beam and high beam functions.
In 1931, Philips opened the world's first lighting design and consulting center.
In 1933, "Bi arlita" light source, the first modern double helix filament lamp for general lighting, was introduced into the world market.
In 1938, Philips introduced the revolutionary ultra-high pressure palace lamp. This compact, high-intensity light source is popular as an alternative to the cumbersome carbon arc lamp used in movie projectors. It was in 1938 that fluorescent lamps came into the market. Philips used to be a pioneer.
In 1964, Philips Research Department began large-scale industrial production of halogen incandescent lamps by replacing pure elements with inactive halogen compounds. Two years later, Philips first introduced a "cold beam" lamp for projection purposes, which features a color splitter mounted directly on the tube wall, and most of the heat load is removed from the beam.
In 1973, Philips scientists discovered narrow band phosphor, which foreshadowed the revolution of fluorescent lamp technology. It is now possible to produce light sources with good color characteristics and higher light output per watt. While efforts to save energy are gathering momentum, this innovation has served as a driving force for a period of time. In addition, due to its resistance to high radiation loads, this phosphor plays a crucial role in the subsequent development of all forms of compact fluorescent lamps.
In 1978, Philips played a leading role in the transformation from 38mm diameter fluorescent lamp to 26mm diameter fluorescent lamp. The earliest use of electronic ballast of high-frequency fluorescent lamp was introduced into the market.
In 1980, new phosphors allowed the miniaturization of fluorescent lamps due to their outstanding performance under high radiation loads. Philips is the first company to put CFL into use.
In 1995, tl5 system, which is characterized by small tube fluorescent lamps with a diameter of only 16mm, greatly reduced the total operating cost and saved considerable energy and materials. Because of its small size, this light source allows more freedom and flexibility in optical and lamp design. UHP is used in LCD projectors ultra high performance gas discharge lamp MPXL (automotive xenon lamp greatly improves vision, cuts off angle and is created to emit distinctive cyan light).
In 1999, it made a breakthrough in optical performance and enhanced aesthetic appearance of road lighting system.
