LED Lighting Solutions
Open the path to a greener tomorrow
Follow LED lighting to new levels of efficiency and sustainability
LED Lighting Has the Power
to Change your World.
LED lighting enhances city living through improved pedestrian and road
safety. / This translates into safer streets and secure public areas, while providing significantly
greater energy efficiency.
LED lighting creates ambience in our cities. / It brings personality and character
to green-conscious municipalities, making them more inviting for families to gather in public
spaces. High-quality white light can transform the night scene of any city or town. It also helps
in building a strong and attractive image of the city, which becomes a source of pride for
its citizens. At night, LED lighting produces a vibrant, expressive and distinct identity for any
municipality making it more appealing for investors and tourists alike.

Why LED?
LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) use a fraction of the electricity of standard incandescent bulbs and
have become the best energy-saving light sources. LEDs are long-lasting, reliable and produce a
comfortable white light, which is essential for secure uniform lighting on residential streets.
Upgrade to LED lighting and see what light can do.
• LED lamps last up to 20 years
• LED lamps reach full brightness immediately
• LEDs are perfect to be aligned with optical systems and form sharp, well controlled beams
• LEDs do not radiate infrared of ultraviolet light or contain mercury
• LED optical systems are superior therefore offer better photometric performances
• LED lamps have no start up problems because of cold temperatures

Safety
Aesthetic
High-quality white light offers many advantages.
Many tests have shown that the majority of people prefer
this type of light and find it more pleasant, more luminous
and more natural. Drivers, pedestrians and cyclists see better
which contributes to making the streets safer. It offers better
color rendition and its level of luminosity is perceived as
superior. It allows for a better distinction of objects, colors,
forms and other details. Recent studies have proven that
white light allows drivers to see movement on the side of
the road from a further distance, giving them more time to
react in case of emergency. It prevents accidents and makes
our roads safer.
Lighting is no longer simply functional.
At night, LED outdoor lighting luminaires can create
ambience in municipal parks and inviting atmospheres
in urban areas and city centers. LED luminaires produce
high-quality light for genuine color perception. They enhance
urban architecture and create attractive ambiences that
encourage more people to spend time outside. For daytime,
outdoor LED luminaires also add a touch of style and
character to the streets, boulevards, roads and areas with
their high-end designs and historical charms.
Lighting has the power to make people feel safe and secure,
on foot, on bicycles, in cars and on public transportation.

Benefits of LED:
/ Saves up to 60 % in energy compared
to the conventional light sources
/ Lifetime typically 5 x longer or more
than conventional light sources
/ Payback time less than 36 months
(depending on energy prices)
Sustainability
All LED lighting solutions deliver energy-efficient LED light
that contains no mercury and no hazardous materials.
With LED lighting the amount of CO2 is drastically reduced.
Since LED luminaires last up to 22 years, maintenance costs
are dramatically reduced.
LED luminaire = 100,000 hours or 22 years
Sodium lamp luminaire = 24,000 hours or 5 years
What is the environmental footprint of an LED luminaire
vs a sodium lamp luminaire?
An LED luminaire will last up to 22 years.
But during that same 22 year period with a sodium lamp
you will need to change the lamp 4-5 times and the ballast
1 to 3 times. To produce 5 lamps and 3 ballasts, you will need
to extract raw material, fabricate the replacement product,
deliver it to an electrical distributor for stroking, and then
you will need to send it to the electrical contractor.
An electrician will then have to drive to the site to change
either the lamp or the ballast. During that replacement
procedure, the contractor’s truck will run all day and will
pollute the environment. He will do so between 5 and 8 times
per luminaire in order for the sodium lamp luminaire to last
as long as the 22 year lifespan of the LED luminaire.
To that you can add the pollution of the fuel used by
the different vehicles needed during that process of delivery
and installation. The footprint of a sodium lamp is huge
compared to an LED luminaire.
For municipalities or landscape architects who want to
reduce the environmental footprint of their projects,
LED luminaires are absolutely the way to go.
Affordable /
LED Payback
Energy savings and lower electrical bills are of course
the biggest long term cost savings but by choosing LEDs
you are also eliminating two other major key costs.
Less Labor Costs: LED greatly reduces the labor associated
with maintaining the lighting infrastructure. Liability costs go
down as well with not putting people on lifts.
Recycling: HID lamps contain mercury. LED eliminates
the costs associated with recycling. This translates to
removing pounds of mercury from the recycling stream.

The Philips Lumec
Difference
With Our LED Solutions…
You can create a livable city with a distinctive identity
Safe environments
The LED’s bright white light significantly improves the security of urban environments. However, light direction must
be optimized to efficiently illuminate the target area. By combining Philips Lumec optics with Philips Lumileds, you
benefit from a safe, uniform and optimal white light.
Aesthetic products
True aesthetics connoisseurs will be delighted by the beauty of Philips Lumec’s exterior luminaires. Our products
feature bold, contemporary designs that will please even the most demanding consumer. LEDs provide a world of
possibilities in terms of shapes and constructions. The compactness of LEDs allows us to create never-before-seen
patterns and designs. Be bold – Dare to choose Philips Lumec quality products!
Wide variety
In order to create distinctive atmospheres, one must ensure a deep harmony across all objects. This principle goes
beyond LED exterior luminaires. For this reason, we design comprehensive collections of LED lighting products –
from luminaires to bollards and light columns, all with the same performance requirements and visual signatures
worthy of a Philips Lumec solution.
Controls solutions
The arrival of LEDs in exterior lighting design has opened a wide array of light control opportunities. This light source
reacts virtually instantly to user’s directions, which allows for simple dimming options, customized light scenarios with
interactive sensors, and many more possibilities to fulfill the specific needs of each site.
Sustainability
Through LEDs, light fixtures see their environmental footprint greatly minimized through significant energy savings.
A product’s sustainability, however, must go beyond LED-related energy savings. The luminaire’s design and choice of
materials play an important role, as well as its end-of-life disposal. The manufacturer’s corporate commitment towards
sustainability should also be taken into account. In this matter, Philips Lumec is a significant eco-design leader, as well
as a first-rate corporate citizen in the industry.
