Philips unveils its secret weapon: a big bulb

The launch is believed to be a response to the spectacular success of independent start-ups selling stylish retro light sources to the commercial, hospitality and residential markets.
PHILIPS HAS come up with its answer to turbulence in the lighting market: huge lamps.
At this month’s Light + Building exhibition, the industry leader will unveil a set of mega lamps targeting the booming hipster market, Lux has learned.
The giant industrial-style deco LEDcollection has smoky grey glass and a thin single vertical LED filament.

The launch is believed to be a response to the spectacular success of independent start-ups selling stylish retro light sources to the commercial, hospitality and residential markets.
The modern range delivers 270 lumens in a colour temperature of 4000K while the vintage range delivers 470 lumens in a warm 2000K. The lamps in both ranges have a 13-year life span, equivalent to 15,000 hours with dimming. 
The Philips deco LED giant vintage range will initially be available across Europe from May, starting from £45 (€50). The Philips deco LED giant modern range will be available across Europe, from July 2018, starting from £36 (€40).
Philips knowledge of traditional lamp making, economies of scale and its deep market reach through wholesale and distribution channels, give it an advantage over independents.
‘This collection taps into the paired back trend for lighting whereby the bulb does the talking and it removes the need for lampshades,’ Rowena Lee, senior vice president of Philips business group LED, told Lux. ‘We’ve fused and updated a classic industrial look with a bold and simplistic design to create a beautiful and striking silhouette.’

'The moon, unlike the sun, lets you look at her, it seems she wants to be looked at', commented Paolo Di Trapani, CEO of CoeLux, who is behind the latest innovation. CoeLux Moon aims to create a comforting and relaxing ambience and less light is used to produce the final effect than the original sunlight CoeLux uses. CoeLux’s artificial skylights have rocked the industry due to their convincing reproduction of sunlight. Now the company has launched a new version that aims to be just as successful at recreating the night sky. CoeLux Moon is being launched at Euroluce 2017, which is currently taking place in Milan. ‘The moon, unlike the sun, lets you look at her, it seems she wants to be looked at,' commented Paolo Di Trapani, CEO of CoeLux, who is behind the latest innovation.
