“Driven by energy efficiency efforts, we work together with municipalities in Indonesia and proudly launch Kota Terang Hemat Energi featuring a unique LED lighting system that creates significant changes in the way people use and experience light. With 121 years of expertise in lighting, Philips aims to improve the way of people feel about the city they live in by exploring the opportunities and benefits of switching to LED based lighting,” says Robert Fletcher, President Director of PT. Philips Indonesia.

Lighting represents more than 15% of all energy used globally. “Cities and municipalities face today’s challenges such as increasing rate of urbanization and energy crisis while work to reconnect to its own people and attract economy. That is why it is important for municipalities to recognize the needs to enhance the quality of urban setting with advanced and sustainable solutions,” explains Jimmy Juwana, an expert in sustainable development of Trisakti University.

With LED technology we can potentially save 50% of energy used today for lighting. This equals to Global savings of EUR 106 billion in energy costs per year; or 555 million tons of CO2 per year. Moreover, it offers longer life span of 15-20 years and environmentally friendly.

Using Philips LED Colorich PowerCore lighting technology will make it possible to control and focus the light exactly where and how the effect is desired.

“At Philips, we believe light is potential. Through Kota Terang Hemat Energi, we transform environments from home to industry, create experiences and shape identities of a city. Together, we simply enhance life with light,” closes Fletcher.
