Signify shows China in its best light

Dutch lighting specialist helps advance smart city initiative with lower energy use and reduced operating costs

Ahead of the inaugural China International Import Expo last year, the Bund, Shanghai's famous waterfront, was given a dramatic face-lift when it was illuminated along with three bridges and more than 40 buildings in the financial and tourist districts.

Dutch lighting specialist Signify, formerly known as Philips Lighting, was responsible for the illumination. The company said it is the largest, single, architectural lighting project in Signify's 127-year history and illustrates the company's leadership in unlocking the potential of connected lighting to transform cities.
