As age increases, the physiology of the eyes will also change. After 45 years of age, the near vision will gradually deteriorate. Studies show that 60 year olds need 2 to 5 times more lighting than the 20 year olds to see the same level of detail, not to mention the difference in concentration. Dr. Bianca van der Zande, chief scientist of PHILPS lighting, said: "people often ask for sick leave because of headache and fatigue. These symptoms may be caused by many potential factors. One of them is likely to be caused by poor lighting in the working environment, resulting in long-term fatigue. Insufficient lighting can cause visual discomfort, neck pain, headache and burnout, and may even require sick leave at the end.

In addition, not only focus and job performance need to be taken into consideration. Under the same lighting, an employee may focus on a substantial increase, but the creativity of another employee is affected. A 2011 laboratory study confirmed that work focused on demand illumination 1000lux, but to enhance creative thinking, we need to consider dimming.

PHILPS conducted a survey in 2013 to test how people adjust brightness and color temperature according to their preferences with adjustable table lamps. About 90% of them showed visually clearer eyes, the most comfortable eyes, more subtle details, and improved visual contrast. Adjusting the lighting conditions of their workplaces according to their personal preferences is also positively related to work cheerfulness, lighting quality improvement and environmental satisfaction. It is the only effective way to let everyone control themselves because of the large differences in personal preferences, so that everyone can have the opportunity to get the most suitable lighting for himself.

PHILPS's networking office lighting system allows users to change their lighting settings according to their preferences. They can choose high brightness to boost energy, or use low brightness to promote creative thinking. In addition, the system can also remember user preferences.

The communication between smart phone and ceiling lighting, using the patented technology developed by PHILPS, building wireless communication access points in each luminaire, each lighting point has its own IP address. "This is the extended application of the Internet of things in offices," said Jeff Cassis, head of global systems at PHILPS lighting. As a global lighting leader, we have developed a software tool console to facilitate intuition and operation system, create highly energy-efficient personalized lighting for employees, and provide timely and useful information for building managers. So we can become an important partner of the networking lighting system, providing value services besides lighting and lighting. "
