CosmoPolis - Building on the foundations
Philips’ invention of the low-pressure sodium (SOX) lamp and linear fluorescent
lamp in the 1930’s laid the foundations for today’s outdoor lighting.Though in the
1960’s the favoured light sources became SON and HPL, the benefits remained
the same: the team of white and gold lamps met your perceived needs for
inexpensive white light where light quality mattered, and unbelievably low
ownership costs where it did not.
