Signify "Poor quality LED lamps threaten eye health"

Eran Görgen, General Manager of Signify's Turkey Operation, formerly known as Philips Lighting and now Signify, recently made evaluations about the unsafe lighting products on the market. Pointing out that Signify, which has been importing high-level standard and quality lamps and fixtures to Turkey for 88 years, is very sensitive especially about quality LED, Eran Görgen made the following comments: "As the world and country leader in the lighting market, great attention should be paid to poor quality and unreliable products that harm both the Turkish economy and the health of users. In this respect, we find the work of the Unsafe Product Information System (GÜBİS) established by the Ministry of Trade very positive. The fact that all kinds of products have achieved a certain standard is important for human health, among many other things. In addition, the audits and controls of TSE, which works on quality, are of the least importance. At Signify, our industry leadership and being an advocate of quality places an important mission on us. I can confidently say that we are doing whatever is necessary in terms of raising awareness and education on this issue and we will do it gladly." Görgen continued as follows: "It should be a necessity that all products that come to the country by importing procedurally are offered to consumers at optimum prices. However, the presence of products that do not comply with the country and consumer dynamics in the market, which the consumer cannot get inefficient in return for the money spent, that can threaten eye health and even that may cause situations that unfortunately endanger human life and health such as fire in the area used, seriously threaten both our economy and our health. As Signify, we appreciate the work of our government and the Ministry of Commerce in this regard." Görgen continued his words as follows: "Of course, the consumer also has a great role here. People should protect both their eyes and their home economies with their choice of quality LED lighting. Consumers should make high quality LED preferences that do not tire the eyes for eye comforts. Otherwise, poor quality LEDs with flickering light wear the eye out, reduce concentration and give the person fatigue. Therefore, I believe that it is important for eye comfort to choose among the well-known brands when choosing LEDs. In choosing the right LED; First of all, contrary to what is known, it is necessary to look at the lumen (lm) value instead of the watt (W) to adjust the brightness of the light. The bulb, which has a greater lumen value, always gives brighter light. Another point to consider is the choice of light color according to the need.While it is more accurate to prefer cold white LED bulbs between 4000-6500 K in areas where work requiring reading or concentration is performed, hot white (yellow) light between 2700-3000 K values should be used in areas where rest and comfort are at the forefront. In addition, it should be noted whether it has an A+ or higher energy label for environmental and energy efficiency. Because the A+ symbol explains that the bulbs are very efficient. LED bulbs have an A+ or A++ energy class label. That is, an LED bulb, with up to 90 percent energy efficiency, helps to reduce the electricity bill from the moment it is purchased and therefore save money." Philips Lighting, newly known as Signify, has a presence in the Turkish market for 88 years of its 127-year history. Eran Görgen underlines that they have always believed and trusted turkey's potential since the early years of the Republic and will continue to work with great diligence and dedication to make Turkey properly enlightened. Eran Görgen argues that as long as the efforts to ensure that the imported lighting products put into operation have a quality and a certain standard, a more environmentally conscious, more efficient, sustainable and healthier world where overall electricity consumption is reduced is not far away. Signify became the new name of Philips Lighting as of May 16, 2018. The company will be in the Philips Lighting Lighting Tic. Inc. will continue to hold its trade title.
