Makati City, Philippines – July 16, 2025. Signify, formerly known as Philips Lighting and a global leader in lighting solutions, gathered designers, architects, and industry professionals for its Light & Beyond event held at Ascott Hotel Makati. The event focused on how lighting can go beyond simple illumination to create healthier, smarter, and more sustainable environments.
Guided by its mission to unlock the extraordinary potential of light for brighter lives and a better world, Signify presented innovations that address sustainability, human wellness, and digital transformation in lighting design.
“At the heart of everything we do is a deep commitment to sustainable innovation,” said Raghuraman Chandrasekhar, Country Leader for Professional Business, Signify Philippines. “We design solutions that light spaces beautifully while respecting our planet. Connected lighting and ultra-efficiency are transforming how we manage energy and environments, and specifiers are our co-creators in shaping this future.”
Five Transformative Lighting Solutions Unveiled
The Light & Beyond program showcased five key solutions:
1. Philips UltraEfficient LED
Engineered to use significantly less energy without compromising illumination quality, the UltraEfficient LED enables long-term cost savings and reduced carbon footprint for commercial and residential spaces.
2. Interact Connected Lighting System
The Interact System demonstrated intelligent lighting controls for offices and outdoor areas. For workplaces, it optimizes energy use, enhances productivity, and delivers actionable data for space management.
