Signify unveiled its latest sustainable and connected lighting solutions during the “Light & Beyond” event held on July 16 at the Ascott Hotel in Makati. Attended by architects, designers, and industry professionals, the event highlighted how advanced lighting technologies are reshaping modern spaces—making them smarter, more energy-efficient, and more attuned to human well-being.
The event wasn’t just about light—it was about what light can do when it’s harnessed with purpose. For Signify, that purpose means brighter lives and a better world, and this vision came alive through a series of bold ideas and interactive presentations that went well beyond traditional lighting.
“At the core of our work is sustainable innovation,” said Raghuraman Chandrasekhar, Signify Philippines’ Country Leader for Professional Business. “We don’t just light up spaces—we do it in a way that respects the planet and reshapes how people experience their environments. And this journey isn’t ours alone. We see our specifiers as co-creators. They’re instrumental in designing the future with us.”
The event was anchored on five key lighting solutions that showcased how design, technology, and sustainability can seamlessly come together:
Philips ultraEfficient LED
Imagine lights that last longer and use significantly less power. UltraEfficient LED technology is all about maximizing energy savings while still delivering excellent illumination—whether at home or in large commercial spaces. It’s energy-smart, cost-friendly, and better for the planet.
Interact connected lighting system
Lighting that thinks? That’s what the Interact system brings to the table. In office settings, it enables smart lighting management with real-time data insights. Outdoors, sensors provide responsive lighting based on movement and daylight, cutting down on wasted energy and reducing operational costs.
3D-printed luminaires for a circular economy
In a standout move toward sustainability, Signify is now offering luminaires made from bio-circular materials—designed to be reprinted, reused, and recycled. These 3D-printed fixtures support a circular economy model, slashing material waste and carbon emissions in the process.
NatureConnect: Lighting that mimics nature
Most people spend nearly all their time indoors, disconnected from natural rhythms. NatureConnect uses circadian lighting to simulate the natural flow of daylight indoors, helping improve sleep, mood, and productivity. It’s not just lighting—it’s a daily wellness upgrade.
Solar lighting for off-grid impact
From city outskirts to remote areas, Signify’s solar-powered lighting ensures that no community is left in the dark. These off-grid, zero-energy systems open access to safe, sustainable lighting in places where it’s needed most.
Throughout the event, Signify highlighted the importance of collaboration with specifiers—the professionals who bring lighting solutions to life. With their creativity and real-world expertise, they help transform technology into tangible impact.
“Our innovations come to life because of the people who implement them,” Chandrasekhar said. “Their insights challenge us to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.”
“Light & Beyond” was more than an event. It was a vision of how the lighting industry can lead the way in shaping smarter, more connected, and more sustainable living environments.
