The two sides through cooperation to develop a set of The Empire State Building for the body, the application of the latest technology of dynamic LED lighting system. The system can transform the facade and the top lighting effect of the building in real time. In addition to better control and easy to manage, the system can also achieve the best lighting effect, and highlight the The Empire State Building building details through lighting.

With its iconic lighting, The Empire State Building is often involved in the celebration of cultural events and activities around the world.

But by September, when all the lighting systems have been replaced by LED, people will find the changes. In order to decorate this internationally renowned landmark, we conducted a full market survey to seek the most technologically advanced, energy efficient and reliable lighting systems. And through a variety of comparisons, the final PHILPS Color Kinetics LED lighting system proved to be able to help the world's most famous architectural magic. "

In addition, PHILPS Color Kinetics LED lighting technology can also control and highlight the light source and the effect of irradiation. Ripple, cross variable light and glare, previously impossible to achieve the lighting effects, can now through the unique lighting design to achieve an easy job to do. The new PHILPS lighting system also can be reduced to the maximum extent so as to ensure that the light scattering light, focusing on building facade and the top, while providing adequate lighting, in order to see this building in New York any place can. This design not only takes into account to avoid the light pollution of the night sky, but also to achieve harmony with the landscape around the building.
