Innovation:
1891
. Dutch mechanical engineers began producing carbon filament light sources in a former deerskin factory in Eindhoven. Among his earliest major customers were some early power companies who included the provision of light sources in their energy supply contracts. These companies set high standards for product quality, and these standards are thus well monitored by the young companies.
1908
In its first year on the world market, Philips began producing light sources featuring metallic tungsten filaments. In 1913, the gas-filled "half-watt" lamp equipped with a spiral tungsten filament was put on the market. The smaller "Arga" light source of 1915 followed. The motto these years has been "We have a light source for every application". During this period, the company grew into a world-scale, market-oriented enterprise.
Selecting the right lamp for the application from the many types of light sources becomes a problem for experts. Therefore, in 1931, Philips created the world's first lighting design and consulting center.
1914
Philips developed the first headlamp, which allowed you to see the light of day even in the dark
1924
Philips has developed dual tungsten filament "Duplo headlights" that allow the bulb to have both low beam and high beam functions.
1932
Extensive Philips research forms the basis for the introduction of a revolutionary new light source: 1932 - Low-pressure sodium lamp (SOX). This light source made wide-area road lighting economically feasible.
1933 - "Bi-Arlita" light source. The earliest modern double-spiral filament lamp for general lighting was introduced to the world market
1934 - High-pressure mercury lamp, or HO lamp
1938
Philips introduced the revolutionary ultra-high-pressure palace lantern. This compact, high-intensity light source gained popularity as an alternative to bulky carbon arc lamps in movie projectors. Fluorescent lamps were also put on the market in 1938. Philips once played a pioneering role.
1950
In the postwar years the focus shifted to innovative lighting. “The right light in the right place” became the slogan. Product innovation is no longer the only goal; creating the best lighting environment has also become a focus. Philips has successfully taken on the challenge of raising public awareness about lighting.
In 1964
Philips Research Department used non-reactive halogen compounds to replace pure elements, thus starting large-scale industrial production of halogen incandescent lamps. Two years later, Philips was the first to introduce "cold beam" lamps for projection purposes, which featured a dichroic mirror mounted directly on the tube wall, with most of the heat load removed from the beam.
In 1973
Philips scientists discovered narrow-band phosphors, which heralded a revolution in fluorescent lamp technology. It is now possible to produce light sources with good color characteristics and higher light output per watt. This innovation served as a driving force for a time when efforts to save energy were gathering momentum. Furthermore, since this phosphor is resistant to high radiation loads, it played a crucial role in the subsequent development of all forms of compact fluorescent lamps.
In 1978
Philips played a leading role in the transformation from 38mm diameter fluorescent lamps to 26mm diameter fluorescent lamps. The first high-frequency fluorescent lamps using electronic ballasts were introduced to the market.
1980
New phosphors allowed the miniaturization of fluorescent lamps due to their superior performance under high radiation loads. Philips was the first company to put compact thin-tube fluorescent lamps into use: SL lamps were introduced in 1980 and PL lamps in 1981.

1984
Introduction of commercial series of electronic dimming ballasts
1986
At the beginning of a new era, Philips further pursued small, multifunctional , the development of economical light sources. In 1986 the "white SON" light source was introduced. Due to its excellent color properties, this compact high-pressure sodium lamp that emits warm white light starts a new approach to decorative and display lighting.
1989
High frequency-SOX electronic ballast (replacement of inductive ballast, starter and capacitor)
1988
Philips sets new standards in premium stadium lighting by presenting its 'ArenaVision' floodlighting system.
1991
In 1991, the earliest electrodeless fluorescent lamp, which was powered by induction from a high-frequency generator, was introduced. The QL induction light source has a lifespan of 60,000 hours.
QL ballast, 55/85 watt (extraordinary life)
Compared with halogen lamps, Xenon HID xenon headlights consume only half the power but can produce 3 times brightness. In addition, Xenon HID xenon headlights have a lifespan that is five times longer than that of ordinary halogen lamps and also have light-concentrating properties.
1992
. Low-power light gas discharge lamps used as headlights can provide two to three times more light using only half the energy compared to halogen lamps. . In addition, MPL lasts 5 times longer and features a very tight beam.
Completely electronic ballasts
1994
Primary color lighting showed an important breakthrough, especially for shopping malls and display lighting. The main color overcomes the shortcomings of traditional metal halide lamps such as uneven color and severe color drift during their lifetime.
1995
The TL5 system, featuring thin tube fluorescent lamps of only 16mm in diameter, significantly reduced total operating costs while saving considerable energy and materials. Because of its small size, this light source allows greater freedom and flexibility in optical and fixture design.
