Since we have turned back the clocks and the days are getting shorter, outdoor lighting now plays a bigger role in our lives. Whether you are looking to transform your outdoor space, save energy without making a large capital investment or just replace the lamps currently in your installation, Philips has a solution.
For traditional HPS lights, Philips carries a full line of products. There are the traditional high pressure sodium lamps, non-cycling versions to assist maintenance crews during replacement and instant restrike lamps that will restrike in case of a temporary power interruption and have a longer life than the traditional products. Take a look at all of Philips HPS offerings.

If quartz metal halide is the light of choice, Philips carries a full line of replacement lamps for those lamps as well. If you are looking for a fast update of your metal halide lamps, the Philips exclusive AllStart product line is an excellent choice. By simply replacing your metal halide lamp with an AllStart lamp, you will save up to 18% energy, increase the CRI to at least 85, and enjoy longer life time than a standard metal halide lamp.

Maybe this is the year to finally change out those old metal halide fixtures with something new. There are a lot of advantages to retrofitting existing fixtures or upgrading fixtures to a newer technology. Retrofitting with ceramic metal halide lamps will bring a crisp, inviting white light while providing energy savings. Upgrading to the newest lighting technologies is a great way to reenergize and revitalize outdoor spaces. Higher CRI light sources can look brighter and more inviting than the old yellow light provided by high pressure sodium or the comparatively dull standard metal halide light. By changing out a lamp and ballast, the benefits of energy saving and better light can be achieved without having to replace a fixture that still has some life left. Philips also has outstanding LED fixtures which can replace existing fixtures. These will bring low maintenance, long life, energy saving and white light to any area.
