Signify has introduced Xceed Pro, the next-generation road lighting solution engineered to deliver maximum energy efficiency, superior light quality, and future-ready connectivity. Building on the success of the Xceed range, Xceed Pro combines cutting-edge technology with sustainable design to meet the evolving needs of modern cities.
Now available in South Africa as well, this is the first street lighting product that carries the Signify brand engraved on the housing.
Industry-leading performance
At the heart of the Xceed Pro's specification is an industry-leading efficacy of up to 170 lm/W, achieved even with a glass cover fitted. The luminaire maintains more than 90% lumen output after 100,000 hours at an ambient temperature of 50 °C, supported by an advanced thermal design that ensures consistent performance in extreme conditions. This translates directly into lower energy consumption, reduced operational costs, and support for carbon-reduction targets.
The product offers a flux range of up to 56,800 lm (enabling 600 W HPS replacement with a single unit, subject to lighting design), with a system wattage of 360 W. It is rated to IP66 and IK09, providing robust protection for demanding outdoor environments.
Light quality and environmental sensitivity
The Xceed Pro features a wide correlated colour temperature (CCT) range from 2200 K to 5700 K, enabling specification across diverse applications. Recognising growing concerns about ecological impact, Signify has incorporated low-blue-light options to protect wildlife, with LEDs available that feature less than 1% blue light content. The professional photometric design delivers uniform illumination to enhance road safety, whilst the product is Dark Sky-compliance-ready, actively reducing light pollution.
Built for challenging conditions
Durability credentials include typhoon resistance tested up to Category 5 (57 m/s) and 3G vibration testing to ensure performance under heavy traffic and harsh environmental conditions. Sulphuration-tested materials protect LED quality throughout the product's operational life, critical for installations in industrial or coastal environments.
Smart city integration
The Xceed Pro offers flexible dimming options, including analogue, StepDim, Coded Mains, DALI and D4i control interfaces. Its smart-ready architecture incorporates NEMA and Zhaga sockets for Internet of Things (IoT) integration, whilst compatibility with Interact City enables advanced smart city features such as scheduling, presence detection, and traffic monitoring. This future-proof approach supports adaptive lighting strategies and seamless smart city integration.
Maintenance and serviceability
Operational efficiency extends to maintenance procedures. Toolless access allows quick gearbox opening for faster servicing, whilst surge protection devices (10 kV/15 kV) and gear trays are replaceable components. The Philips Service Tag system uses QR codes to provide instant access to luminaire data and simplified spare parts ordering, reducing downtime significantly.
Mounting flexibility includes both side-entry and post-top options with adjustable spigots to suit varied installation requirements.
Circular design principles
Sustainability considerations are embedded in the Xceed Pro's design philosophy. The modular printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and optics enable straightforward upgrades, supporting circular economy principles and extending product lifecycle value.
Applications span urban roads and parking facilities, expressways and highways, residential streets and connecting roads, plus suburban pathways and pedestrian zones.
Broader portfolio expansion
The Xceed Pro launch is accompanied by other significant product introductions under the Signify brand. The Arena X, ActiStar, and SunStay Pro were also recently launched, delivering all-in-one modular, connected solar street lighting solutions suitable for applications from campuses to pedestrian areas.
The new introductions reflect Signify's commitment to high-quality sustainable products, connected systems and services engineered for optimal performance. With more professional lighting products planned under the Signify brand in the coming years, the launches underscore the company's growing role in its portfolio of high-performance, energy-efficient and circular lighting solutions.
“At Signify, we are proud to build on our leadership in innovation, performance, and sustainability, with a suite of intelligent, connected lighting products, systems and services under a portfolio of trusted brands. The launch of these new premium outdoor lights under the Signify brand is an important step forward, placing the brand at the heart of our professional lighting portfolio,” says Harsh Chitale, CEO of the Professional Business, Signify.
