| Philips brings history to life by illuminating the Baron Palace in Cairo  Royal Philips unveiled a stunning lighting makeover of the historic, well-renowned Baron Palace, one of the oldest buildings in Cairo as part of its fifth consecutive pan-African Cairo to Cape Town roadshow. Philips' latest LED technology combining warm and cool daylight colors has been used to highlight the palace's features as never before. The innovative LED Lighting allows energy savings of 80% over the traditional lights that are currently used in the Palace and has a lifetime of up to 50,000 hours. "The lighting up of the Baron Palace creates an almost mythical atmosphere around the palace that brings history to life. Philips is very proud to have placed its know-how and technology at the service of this iconic monument. For us the challenge was to devise effective lighting while respecting the authenticity of this monument. The lighting really had to enhance the beauty of the site without at any time overwhelming it. We are very proud of the final result and hope it will improve the tourism value of the Palace", says Tamer Abol Ghar, CEO, Philips Egypt and General Manager, Philips Lighting Egypt & Sudan. The advantages of the LED lighting provided at Baron Palace include: • Dynamic lighting that makes it possible to adjust the atmosphere of the site (change of intensity and color). • A longer lifespan of the installation: around 50,000 hours compared to 12,000 hours with conventional lighting. • A reduction in maintenance costs: LED luminaires require little maintenance, while at the same time they cut energy consumption by 80%. write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Construction News :: home page |
