Philips' Latest LED Luminaire is BoldPlay for Building Owners

SOMERSET, N.J., April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Expanding on its commitment to deliver innovative products that can help organizations meet their energy and lighting goals, Philips Ledalite introduces BoldPlay, a new portfolio of high-performance LED lighting systems that is 44 percent more efficient and consumes 28 percent less energy than traditional technologies like fluorescent. Integrating daylight harvesting with the latest Philips LED technology and advanced optics, BoldPlay is the latest in the Philips' family of luminaires to offer building owners a flexible, intuitive lighting solution that allows for fewer fixtures in a space, while delivering all the light quality, energy efficiency and cost savings that have become hallmarks of Philips products.

Delivering up to 106 lm/W, one of the highest in the industry, BoldPlay allows for wide row spacing at up to 20 feet apart, while maintaining uniformity on the ceiling and workplane. BoldPlay's performance, combined with its simple, clean design, make it ideal for a variety of applications, including office, education, healthcare and retail. The product's LED light engine is comprised of a low profile Light Guide Panel which helps extract and reflect light into a precisely controlled direct/indirect distribution. BoldPlay also integrates patented MesoOptics nanotechnology which makes spaces more visually comfortable by optimally blending light and color, while controlling high angle glare. In addition, BoldPlay features optional Response Daylight harvesting sensors that can extend LED sustainability benefits by further reducing energy consumption up to another 35 percent. 

"Most buildings use lighting technologies that date back to the 1980's, yet as organizations look to become greener, while trying to provide a better work environment, lighting upgrades become an obvious choice," said Don Jacklin, Director, Product Management for Philips Ledalite. "Not only does a system like BoldPlay offer significant energy savings and better light quality than traditional lighting systems, it can sense the ambient light in a room and adjust itself accordingly. Airwave occupancy sensors harvest that ambient light to power themselves and then adjust the room's lighting based on whether or not it is occupied. BoldPlay makes energy efficiency intuitive and, with its ease of installation, adopting LED technology has never been simpler."

BoldPlay offers many flexible options including a range of aesthetic designs, LED color temperatures, distribution choices, and a complementary wall mount version. In addition, BoldPlay is designed to work with optional Airwave Wireless Controls and features an easy "plug and play" installation that simplifies upgrades or replacement.
