Philips France to Light Office Entirely with LEDs
June 26, 2008... A subsidiary of Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands, Royal Philips France, said that it will supply the LED lighting for the first office in the world to be entirely lit by LEDs.
The office, owned by Generali and located at 100 Champs-Elysées Avenue in Paris, will have functional office lighting and scene and atmospheric effects entirely done with LEDs. Generali commissioned Architect Anthony Béchu to design ‘an innovative window in the world of LEDs’.
Generali chose LEDs because of the extreme long lifetime of LEDs and the minimal maintenance costs.
Throughout the office space, 422 luminaires are integrated into a false ceiling with 600 x 600 grids. Philips says that each luminaire is powered by 16 or 12 high power LEDs of 2.6 W depending on their location in the office space. This provides an average of 300 lux everywhere and 500 lux on the working planes. Philips notes that part of the success of its LED lighting solutions has been come from the specially developed optics. See the Current Industry News Summary
