• Skylight VitaUp variants designed to support natural vitamin D production indoors
• Auto day rhythm adapts light throughout the day to reflect the natural rhythm of daylight
Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, announces
Philips Skylight, a new ceiling lighting range designed to recreate the feeling of daylight indoors.
Inspired by the natural brightness, depth and rhythm of sunlight, Philips Skylight combines advanced
LED lighting technologies with intuitive everyday experiences to help people feel more connected to
natural light — even while indoors.
As people spend an increasing amount of time indoors, access to natural daylight has become more
limited. New Signify research found that 58% feel they spend too much time indoors, while 89% say
they feel more energetic when they get enough daylight.1 In addition, 43% are open to solutions that
recreate daylight indoors.1 Philips Skylight was developed to address this shift, helping people bring
the feeling of daylight into their homes.
“Light has always been about more than illumination,” said Hellen van der Plas – CEO Signify
Netherlands and Global Business Leader Philips LED. “For 135 years, we have continuously evolved
how lighting improves people’s lives — from electric light to LED, and now towards experiences that
support wellbeing, comfort and how people feel in their homes every day. As people spend more
time indoors, there is an opportunity to rethink the role lighting can play in helping people feel more
connected to the natural rhythms of daylight. Skylight reflects that next step.”
Bringing the feeling of daylight indoors
Using Signify’s NatureConnect technology, Skylight is designed to reproduce the natural brightness,
shades and depth of daylight, creating the visual impression of a window to the sky inside the home.
The slim ceiling panel delivers soft, evenly distributed illumination that helps create brighter, more
comfortable living environments.
The integrated auto day rhythm feature automatically adjusts brightness and tone throughout the
day. Supported by Philips BioUp LEDs, Skylight delivers brighter, blue-enriched light during the day
and warmer light in the evening, inspired by research on circadian stimulation and alertness.2
Users can select from five preset daylight-inspired scenes depending on their activities, ranging from
focused daytime lighting to warmer evening ambiance.
Introducing Philips Skylight VitaUp
The Philips Skylight family also includes Philips Skylight VitaUp variants, featuring an integrated UV-B
module designed to support the body’s natural vitamin D production indoors.3
The VitaUp feature includes integrated safety controls, including automatic shutoff after eight hours
or manual control via the included remote.
