Somerset, NJ – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG; AEX: PHIA), the global leader in lighting, recently received 15 awards for the innovation, design and sustainability of its LED lighting products from ADEX, Architectural SSL and the Edison Awards™.  In addition to products that benefit from the inherent design flexibility of LED technology to create the thinnest downlight in the industry, such as Philips SlimSurface, or a clean ceiling look by combining technology with textiles in Philips OneSpace, the company was also recognized for lighting systems that use controls to help support the body’s circadian rhythms for improved sleep.  Moreover, Philips was recognized for its innovative LED systems installations at the Baron Palace in Cairo, Egypt and BCP Affinity in Lima, Peru.  Many of the technologies will be showcased in the Philips booth #1207 at LIGHTFAIR International in New York City taking place May 5-7th at the Jacob K.
