Date Announced: 25 Apr 2009 ROSEMONT, IL – Philips Lighting Electronics is proud to announce the introduction of the new Philips Affinium LED posterbox module (LPM 200), an energy-efficient LED solution for high-quality backlit display signs used in both indoor and outdoor applications.Available in 9 Watt and 15 Watt versions (and delivering lumen output of either 270 or 450, respectively), the LPM 200 is a unique, indirect lighting system which is ideally-suited for use with pylon, wall-mount, architectural, and monument signs involving either single or double-faced displays. Installed within the perimeter of the sign and directing light inwards, aluminum profiles wash light across the display. As part of its commitment to providing the utmost in green and highly sustainable solutions, Philips’ patent-pending technology makes further use of the light by recycling it within the box.

Durable and long-lasting, the LPM 200 meets all applicable UL, CSA, and CE safety standards and is suitable for damp and dry locations in both indoor and outdoor applications. A signature Philips Green product based on its design and performance, the system is also RoHS compliant.
