App lets you control facade lighting from anywhere, anytime

Philips Lighting has launched a cloud-based Scene management app that enables businesses to change a building’s architectural lighting using a smartphone or tablet.

With a simple tap or swipe, the Interact Landmark Scene management app enables lighting managers to manage, control and change the lighting on bridges, buildings and monuments on the fly. Spectacular light shows can be remotely programmed to commemorate special events, holidays and important civic causes. For example, managers can now respond quickly to a request from the mayor’s office to paint a bridge in pink light to support World Breast Cancer Awareness or program.

“Architectural lighting is increasingly being used by businesses and cities to create a unique identity and engaging experiences. The need to be ‘on call’ and responsive to last-minute requests outside of the office is a pain point for lighting managers. The app now provides them with the flexibility to change lighting scenes at any moment and at any time. It also illustrates the power of Interact Landmark to support lighting managers, simplify the management of architectural lighting and help make cities smarter and more livable,” said Philips Lighting Global Business Leader Public Segment Jacques Letzelter.

The app is part of the Interact Landmark suite of capabilities and will be available in June 2018.
