Lighting Industry

Philips Lighting recently announced announced its intention to change its name from Philips Lighting to Signify. In a press release, the company stated, “The choice of our new company name originates from the fact that light becomes an intelligent language, which connects and conveys meaning.”

In November 2017, the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) released its new 2015 U.S. Lighting Characterization report. The 135-page report, which follows similar reports issued in 2001 and 2010, estimates the total installed lighting stock in the United States by light source and building sector. Dense with tables and graphs, it provides data useful for business planning while clarifying trends.
