Bringing the benefits of natural daylight from workplaces to homes

One of the most exciting things about innovation is seeing breakthrough technologies become accessible to more people.

That's exactly what we see with the launch of Philips Skylight.

The technology behind Skylight was originally developed by Signify NatureConnect, a solution designed for people centric indoor environments, such as offices, recreation and healthcare facilities or hospitality spaces where organizations invest in wellbeing, comfort and productivity. It was created to bring the feeling of natural daylight into spaces with limited access to daylight.

Today, that innovation is making its way into people's homes.

That is a remarkable shift.

As people spend more time indoors, access to natural daylight has become increasingly limited. Our research found that 58% of people feel they spend too much time indoors, while 89% say they feel more energetic when they get enough daylight. Philips Skylight was designed to address exactly that challenge."

It recreates the brightness, depth and rhythm of natural daylight indoors, creating the impression of a window to the sky. Its automatic day rhythm adapts throughout the day, delivering brighter, blue-enriched light during the day and warmer tones in the evening, inspired by research into circadian stimulation and alertness.

For me, this launch represents something much bigger than a new product.

It demonstrates the power of innovation flowing across our businesses.

Technology that was once only available in high-specification environments is now being adapted and scaled for use in people’s homes."

This is one of the unique advantages of being part of Signify. By bringing together expertise from our Professional and Consumer businesses, we can accelerate innovation, create more value for customers and make advanced lighting experiences accessible to many more people.

Because the future of lighting isn't just about helping people see.

It's about helping people feel better, live better and stay connected to the natural rhythms that support wellbeing - even when they're indoors.

I'm proud of the teams who brought Philips Skylight to life, and of what it represents: innovation that scales, innovation that crosses boundaries, and innovation that improves everyday life.
