for warehouse lighting

At the same time, it was important for employees to have clear vision without any glare. The Philips GentleSpace luminaire was the answer. Filling the space with comfortable clean light, GentleSpace creates an optimal work environment while saving energy.

After the test period, ABB were happy that the new lighting met all the required criteria. A sh..."
