MANILA, Philippines — Did you know that lighting can account for up to 40% of a city’s electricity use?
“That’s why all of us, from both public and private sectors, must seek solutions that are readily available and easy to achieve like making the switch to ‘clean lighting,’” stressed Sen. Win Gatchalian, author of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act, who called for collective action at the launch of the “Green Switch initiative” of Signify, a global leader in lighting, held early this year in Manila.
And one of the fastest ways to cut electricity consumption, costs, and carbon emissions is to switch to LED lighting, connected LED lighting, and solar lighting not just in our own homes, but also in offices, public and outdoor spaces, even roadways.
Reports have it that switching businesses and cities around the globe to LED lighting would eliminate 420 million tons of global CO2 emissions and save 850 TWh of energy. That’s enough to power 380 million households a year!
Designed for professional applications across industries, the Philips UltraEfcient range includes a versatile selection of products such as LED panels, downlights, recessed luminaires and specialized solutions for outdoor and industrial use.
Let there be (LED) light
“With rising energy costs and increasing awareness of climate change, the government and the industry players in the Philippines are adopting sustainable practices,” said Raghuraman Chandrasekhar, country leader for Professional Business, Signify Philippines, during the launch of Philips UltraEfficient Professional Range at the Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers (IIEE) Convention last Nov. 27 at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
Setting new benchmarks in energy efficiency and sustainability, this new innovative range achieves up to 50% energy savings compared to standard LEDs, “significantly lowering energy consumption and carbon emissions while maintaining superior light quality,” added Chandrasekhar.
