available , and we are number one looking at innovation , so of course we have the right capabilities to deliver systems and solutions .”
One excellent example of this is the King Abdul Aziz Tunnel , which is one of the main road passage tunnels near Al Haram , leading to prominent places in Holy Makkah . As you would expect , this tunnel receives a significant amount of traffic during the Hajj season . The tunnel is now using 50 percent less energy thanks to the installation of LED lights , which also reduces maintenance work thanks to their lifetime of 60,000 hours .
Another stunning project is Riyadh ’ s Kingdom Centre , which dominates the city skyline . The 65-storey building includes a shopping mall , the Four Seasons Hotel and state-of-theart , luxury apartments . Its switch to an LED lighting solution with Philips ColorKinetics saves a massive 80 percent energy and has increased the time between maintenance visits from 2,000 hours of use to 50,000 hours . And all this while withstanding the scorching temperatures of a Saudi Arabian summer . Both projects illustrate the changing attitude to lighting globally , largely brought about in Saudi Arabia by Philips SLC . The company is committed to bringing new and innovative lighting systems and solutions to the Kingdom , enhancing the cities ’ skylines on flagship projects and allowing consumers and businesses alike to increase sustainability while also becoming energy friendly .
