In the fast pace world we live in nowadays, architects and landscape architects have less and less time to work on projects. In those conditions, it is crucial for them to find integrated lighting solutions. Here at Philips Lumec, we understand this need and have developed in that perspective a number of series of luminaires that can offer a bollard, a luminaire and a wall sconce.

There is nothing better than a case study to demonstrate what a truly integrated solution consists of. And the Community Center in Candiac is a perfect example where the landscape architects needed a complete lighting solution. There was indeed a need for bollards to light the pedestrian pathway, a wall sconce to illuminate the building and also single-double luminaires to light the parking area.

The Callisto Series illustrates well what an integrated lighting solution means.  It guarantees not only quality of production but also durability, even in the most challenging environment.

Let us specify here that the Callisto Series combines both classic and contemporary features, hence it blends in seamlessly to any project, whether it be for walkways, parks, public areas, and almost any other setting.

Among the many benefits of the Callisto Series:

• High-quality die-cast acrylic globe with a hydro-formed and anodized reflector that guarantees precise lighting.
• Decorative refractor with an integrated colored LED option for orientation and light ambiance.
• Tool free access to lamp and electrical components for ease of maintenance.
• Comes standard with the most efficient HID optics available on the market.

This clearly demonstrate that there are quite a few advantages for a client to have a ‘‘one stop shop”. The first one being that a client will be provided with an aesthetic solution and the specifier will be certain that his fixtures will make sense as a whole as his design is integrated.

The second advantage is a more technical one as the specifiers will make sure that all the equipments have the same quality standard as they all come from a Philips Lumec brand. In the case of LEDs, it is even more important as the technology varies from one manufacturer to another. Another important aspect that also needs to be considered is the color temp of the LEDs since it can create an unfortunate contrast.

Philips Lumec understands that time saving is now a crucial part in the survival of firms these days. Providing a complete lighting solution enables us to fulfill the Philips Lumec promise to our clients. We are proud to provide them with lighting solutions that reflect the Philips’ motto: ‘‘Sense and Simplicity”.
