Philips will help the municipal authorities create more
livable urban environments by applying new, future-proof LED lighting solutions

outdoor lighting.
“To accelerate access to benefits of LED lighting evolution,
Philips has developed LEDGINE, a uniquely and upgradeable platform for outdoor

municipalities to upgrade luminaries’ onsite switching older lighting
technologies to LED with ease, thus maximizing energy savings and lowering

optimum environmental payback throughout the lifetime, Philips will also
introduce the LED Green Service Program,” said he.
