Philips Light Bulbs - Energy Saving Lighting

Philips Lighting (sometimes referred to as Phillips Lighting) is based in the Netherlands and started business in 1891. They offer a complete line of home and industrial lighting products and have a solid position in the "top three" lighting manufacturers in the world.

They come in various varieties - there are incandescent bulbs, halogen bulbs, compact fluorescent bulbs, fluorescent bulbs, full-spectrum bulbs, HID bulbs, and specialty bulbs. Philips products are the result of extensive research and their appeal to the consumer follows almost naturally. For last Year's New Year's Eve Ball at the Times Square in New York, Philips products in the shape of 9,500 LEDs were used.
