The lights that
switched on a city
The Bay Lights. It’s not just an installation. It was the world’s largest
temporary LED lighting sculpture. From dusk until dawn our
dynamic lighting illuminated San Francisco’s skyline. It increased
tourism and boosted the waterfront economy by more than $100
million annually. But most importantly, it was instantly embraced
by the citizens. And now it has earned a permanent place in the
skyline. It’s just one of the many ways Philips Lighting is taking
Light Beyond Illumination.
