Philips Metronomis Manual De Usuario

At night, Metronomis is functional in two ways - 

guiding traffic safely through the city while creating 

a pleasant ambience in city squares and pedestrian 

precincts. It succeeds in combining visual diversity 

with a coherent family design, gracing both modern 

and historical architectural environments.

Lighting involves illuminating the surroundings with 

the aim to accentuate the beauty of the residential 

areas and parks. During the day the rows of lighting 

columns help set the pattern of the residential 

area. The correct height and suitable lighting spread 

creates a place where one can feel safe to wonder 

through the pavements and streets in the night. In 

residential quarters, the Metronomis louver hides 

the light source from view keeping light intrusion 

to a minimum. The Metronomis range comes in a 

controlled variety of designs, materials, colors 

and light sources bringing a degree of unity and 

appeal to the residential area both in the day 

and in the night.

The essential aim of lighting is to accentuate the beauty of the 

scene without creating large, excessive dark areas. Lighting of 

a park or garden involves the illumination of trees, shrubs, 

flowerbeds and paths. Square lighting entails highlighting the 

modern architectural features along with flora and fauna. 

The Metronomis diffuser spreads and softens the lamplight, creating 

an effective and appealing nightscape. It also offers a choice of 

elegant highly functional optical elements as well as a range of 

dedicated columns and brackets, providing architects and lighting 

designers with an infinite variety of design and lighting effects.
