Costa projects up to 80% energy savings with new Philips LED lighting

Costa said the lighting project guarantees energy savings of up to 80% and a resulting reduction in fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

'We are proud to have incorporated Philips’ experience and solutions into such a technologically advanced project,' said Roberto Brambilla, professional commercial director, Philips Lighting IIG.

According to Costa, the LEDs emit 'excellent quality white light, resembling natural sunlight that does not irritate or tire the eyes, while providing instant, maximum intensity light with fittings that are cold to touch.'

The cruise operator said this provides a brighter environment and creates a more welcoming and relaxing atmosphere than did the previous halogen bulbs.
