Philips Lighting rocks Frankfurt

The new products were incorporated into the lighting design for the stand, which transformed into a stage for a performance from Dutch rock band TOM. The group saw a line-up of the original members of popular Dutch group The Marshalls, formed in 1995 (TOM stands for The Original Marshalls), who are well known on the European festival scene, in particular the infamous Zwartecross motorcross festival.
New products that launched on the Philips Entertainment Lighting stand:
