Signify has announced that it has entered into
a definitive agreement with Eaton to acquire
Cooper Lighting Solutions. Closing is subject
to regulatory approval and is expected to take
place in the first quarter of 2020. Signify wants
to strengthen its position in North America where
the demand for LED and connected solutions is
growing. Cooper Lighting Solutions is a leading
provider of professional lighting, lighting controls,
and connected lighting.
On the topic of connectivity there is also a
very interesting technical innovation. Everyone
has heard of fibre optics to transmit data with
light. This technology needs cables. Similarly,
everyone also has heard of the wireless solution
Wi-Fi. What is new is to rely on “Li-Fi” for data
transmission: Instead of radio, light is used for
The new theMura wall detector is perfect for
energy-efficient lighting control, e.g. in corridors,
stairways, cellars and toilets. They are available
as both motion detector and presence detector.
The 2-wire detectors are most suitable for
renovations and conversions in combination
with a staircase light timer switch from Theben.
The 3-wire detectors can also be used in new
buildings and feature practical additional
functions such as a presence detector. As well
as the Theben design, there is also a wide range
of bezel frames available for combination with
switch ranges from Busch-Jaeger, Jung, Merten,
Gira, Legrand, Berker and Feller.
The new products look great anywhere thanks to
their particularly sleek and attractive design. The
large detection area of 14 x 17 m and its flexible
extension through additional slave detectors make
them the perfect solution for any application. The
wireless two-way communication. The stadium of
the Hamburg football club “HSV” is one of 100
projects worldwide where Signify’s Trulifi solution
has already been installed. As in all stadiums,
many people want to communicate wirelessly
at the same time during the game – but this can
drastically reduce the speed of data transmission.
However, journalists in particular need a reliable
wireless connection.
Signify installed 84 Philips PowerBalance gen2
LED recessed luminaires in the stadium’s press
centre. Eight of the luminaires have an integrated
Trulifi 6002 transceiver, which modulates infrared
light waves to provide an internet connection of up
to 150 megabits per second (Mbps). Journalists
using the system receive a USB Access Key to
plug into their laptop. This picks up the Li-Fi signal
Signify’s Trulifi range uses light
waves to provide an internet
connection. A very practical
solution that is becoming
common – even on airplanes
and buses.

and transmits data back to the luminaire. The Li-Fi
system is free from interference and encrypted.
Trulifi is built into Philips luminaires or can be
retrofitted. This means that the customer doesn’t
have to completely replace his existing lighting
in order to obtain both the best lighting quality
and wireless connectivity.
lighting can still be switched on and off manually
using the integrated button. All basic settings can
be made directly on the device.
In order to use all the functions, “theSenda B”
remote control needs to be used in combination
with the free “theSenda Plug” app. These functions
include setting the integrated orientation light,
activation of the acoustic function or adjustment
of the extended function. With the additional
floating contact, it is also possible to integrate
HVAC applications. External buttons can also
be connected.
