Philips Lighting has bulked up on partners who can provide wireless smart lighting components beyond Philips' own capabilities, quietly certifying Gooee, Silvair, and two other vendors for its OEM program, while leaving open the possibility that Philips could embed the wares inside its own branded products.

In addition to Gooee and Silvair, the Dutch lighting giant has also issued its seal of approval to Steinel and Lucy Zodion. The four companies join 14 others as part of a certification program that Philips launched a year ago to give options to manufacturers who build intelligent LED luminaires using Philips's smart lighting driver, called Xitanium SR. Philips introduced Xitanium SR in 2014 for indoor use and adapted it in 2016 for outdoors.
The SR in the name stands for “sensor ready.” Philips builds the driver to work with sensors and other circuits that can bestow luminaires with the ability to detect and collect data on things like occupancy, motion, climate, noise, and air quality. Such sensors can also support more sophisticated controls that know when to turn lights on or off and alter their brightness or color temperature.
By certifying products from what is now 18 vendors, Philips hopes to boost the chance that lighting manufacturers will build smart luminaires that connect to the Internet of Things (IoT), a promising prospect for the lighting industry but also one which has been slow to take off. IoT lighting could give LED lighting vendors a valuable source of revenue from collecting, analyzing, and selling data.
