We help you make the switch

Our online tools help you and your customers to understand the huge potential
to upgrade and reduce energy usage.
With some 70% of current lighting based on old, less energy-efficient technologies, there is a huge potential
to upgrade and thus significantly reduce energy usage.

Philips has declared its intention to phase out outdated, inefficient lighting technologies such as incandescent lamps and – with effect from 1 July 2009 – TL Standard lamps, colour 33 & 54, and electromagnetic gear for
TL-D luminaires.

Now is the time for your customers to switch to more energy-efficient solutions so they can enjoy lower operating costs, better quality lighting and help to protect the environment at the same time. By simply replacing outdated lamps and/or gear, or – even more effectively – by upgrading the complete lighting installation we can all make a world of difference.
