In addition to the successful Philips FastFit lamps, Philips has extended the FastFit product range with the Philips MSR Gold 300/2 FastFit and Philips MSR Gold 2000(/2) FastFit. The base and lamp holder design allow changing lamps in a matter of seconds. On top of that the FastFit system reduces the overall length of the lamp, which means lighter and more compact fixture designs are possible, says the company. The total FastFit range will be displayed at the Philips booth.

Recently, Philips acquired Lighting Technologies International (LTI), a US manufacturer of high-power Xenon lamps for the entertainment industry. The Philips Helios Xenon lamps will be shown.
