Burnham Park will embrace new light under the project led by the city government and Philips to install the P6 million new energy-efficient lighting systems.

The energy efficient LED lighting which illuminates the park’s Rose Garden is part of the ongoing effort to add luster and luminance to the city. The Garden will be fully lit up with 68 LED post lamps, 14 LED street lights and 6 LED flood lights.

According to Clifford Jison, senior manager of the Lighting Sector of Philips Philippines, “There is a growing concern with energy conservation and finding ways to live more earth-friendly and green. Our aim is to light up public spaces. This LED lighting technology for public infrastructure projects provide the city with safety and security, beautifying the landscape and reducing energy consumption.”

Before the lighting project at Burnham Park, Philips had lit up the façade of Baguio City Hall with LED lights as well as donated energy-efficient CFL lamps to the city’s public market.
