This Guangzhou Asian Games is a grand performance of LED lighting. At the opening ceremony of the Asian Games held on November 12, the organizing committee of the competition will use LED lights to decorate the lighting effects, and the number will reach 100,000. Among the various LED lighting solutions, the most prominent example is the Guangzhou Tower.
 

On November 20th, an extraordinary lighting ceremony was held at the newly completed Guangzhou Tower. Philips, a Fortune 500 company from the Netherlands, provided an overall LED lighting solution for this new landmark.
 

Known as the "slender waist", the Guangzhou Tower is 600 meters high and is known as the world's tallest free-standing TV tower. With the completion of the LED project, Guangzhou Tower deservedly became a new landmark in Yangcheng. The Asian Games was held in Guangzhou. The Guangzhou Tower, lit up by Philips LED lighting solutions, has become the most beautiful architecture of the Guangzhou Asian Games.
 

 Philips’ Canton Tower LED project combines weekday lighting with celebration lighting. Under the blueprint of meeting the master plan of Guangzhou’s night view, it effectively improves the city’s livable environment.
 

The status of lighting in urban planning is becoming more and more prominent. In many countries, city lights have been dubbed the "new scale at night" and become a new scale for measuring "livable cities". When providing lighting solutions for the Guangzhou Tower, Philips always adheres to the "people-oriented" design concept and maximizes the perfect integration of lighting effects with the surrounding environment, bringing a pleasant and unforgettable lighting experience to Guangzhou citizens and tourists.
 

The vivid effect of the Ambilight of Guangzhou Tower comes from more than 6000 sets of LED lighting equipment from Philips. Among them, the LED ColorReach Powercore high-power color dynamic floodlight is the first product that can truly show the facade or spatial structure of a giant building. The 28-story projection distance can help the building open up extraordinary connotations.
 

And Dynaflood LED professional dynamic floodlight, emphasizes the use of color to highlight the building structure. The perfect cooperation of the two finally realized the epoch-making application of large-scale LED flood lighting in Guangzhou Tower. At the same time, due to the energy-saving characteristics of LEDs, the overall lighting energy consumption of the building is only 500 kilowatts, which greatly improves operating efficiency.
"Philips has a hundred years of lighting experience and is committed to sharing global experience in cities in the new era. We are honored to be able to provide meaningful and innovative solutions for the Canton Tower. This new landmark building fully confirms Philips' long-held belief The concept: lighting can promote the development of livable cities and improve people's quality of life." said Lin Liangqi, general manager of Philips Lighting Greater China.

The entire building lighting energy consumption is only 500 kilowatts." Philips Lighting Greater China Manager Lin Liangqi said, "If you use traditional lighting, let alone the characteristics or whether it can produce such a good effect, the light power consumption is much higher than it is now."
 

 In addition, in the design and use of the strong directivity of LEDs to strictly control the light distribution, reduce the spilled light and light pollution, Guangzhou Tower has become an energy-saving and environmentally-friendly building. Liang Shuo, general manager of Guangzhou New TV Tower Construction Co., Ltd., said that it has been more than a year since the commissioning of the Guangzhou Tower. The LED has made it feel personally. In addition to the millions of color changes and the greatly improved service life, energy conservation and environmental protection most obviously.
In addition, in terms of aesthetics, the biggest feature of the Guangzhou Tower LED lighting is the use of LED flood lighting, that is, the lamps are installed on the back of the column to brighten the column to form a silhouette effect, and at the same time, use the rich features of LEDs to highlight the dynamics of the Guangzhou Tower. The lines highlight the "small waist". This lighting technique puts higher requirements on the color of LED products and the control of the overall system.

Now these advanced technologies are used to light up the Guangzhou Tower, once again helping this Guangzhou landmark shine.
 

City, residents and lights
 

Guangzhou Tower project is a concentrated expression of Philips' concept of “lighting easily enhances livable cities”.
 

The goal of the Philips Livable City concept is to unify the humane city and the harmonious city, so that the city can show its unique charm in the special lighting design, so as to provide humans with a more comfortable living environment.
 

 In order to achieve the above goals, build a sustainable and harmonious city. The urban lighting system must also face the constraints of the environment, resources, population and other factors in the development of the city in the future. Especially in China, the key to sustainability lies in the handling of the relationship between man and nature in the process of urban development.
 

In recent years, the output value of LED lighting and related applications has increased year by year. As a green light source, LED will play an irreplaceable role in the future urban economy, environmental protection and improving people's quality of life. As a leader in the global lighting industry, Philips is not only vigorously promoting this technology, but more importantly, making continuous efforts for the perfect combination of technology and livable cities.
At the International Industry Fair held in Shanghai not long ago, in the Philips Lighting Pavilion, a number of LED solutions in the field of urban lighting applications interpret the green to people through unique innovative design, excellent lighting effects, and energy-saving and environmentally friendly performance. Lighting ensures the sustainable development of the city, reveals the individual charm of the city, and creates a broad prospect for a unique image of the city. A variety of advanced LED lighting products make people overwhelmed, fully embodying the lighting enjoyment that green technology brings to people.

The ColorReach series is the first outdoor floodlight LED lamp that can not only illuminate the facade of tall buildings, but also realize dynamic color changes; and StripIIPlus is an improved lighting lamp suitable for highlighting architectural features, which can produce controllable The soft wall washer effect; GreenVision green road lighting solution, as the latest generation of LED street lights, embodies Philips' proposition for the implementation of a new LED road lighting evaluation standard based on road power density.
 

Different solutions cooperate with each other, so that urban buildings and roads become smart and full of vitality under the illumination of LED lights.
"Incorporating international leading technology into the human-oriented design concept, LED will become an excellent way to drive the next development of livable cities because of its superior performance in design freedom and flexibility, integration, intelligence and efficiency. To provide more humane possibilities for the city. At the same time, Philips is also interpreting city landmarks in various shapes and styles with ever-changing lights, depicting cities with more individual images." Lin Liangqi said.
