Philips F9 Floor Lamp marks a significant product shift in Philips Consumer China's children's eye-care portfolio, transitioning from traditional desk lamps to a panel-style floor lamp. This change addresses the need for broader, more uniform illumination that reduces eye strain while seamlessly integrating into modern home interiors.

One of the biggest design challenges was working around the bulky internal light engine required for high-quality dual-light source illumination. To counter this, F9 features a streamlined curved surface, visually reducing bulkiness while maintaining a warm, homey aesthetic that blends effortlessly into family spaces. By extending the Philips design language from desk lamps to floor lamps, the F9 maintains a cohesive brand identity, ensuring a familiar yet elevated user experience.

A key design element is the iconic 5-degree upward tilt, optimizing light projection while softening the lamp’s presence in study environments. This subtle inclination ensures better illumination coverage, reducing oppressive bulkiness—especially for young users—creating a more open and comfortable study space.

Incorporating modern smart home functionality, F9 Floor Lamp is Xiaomi IoT connected, allowing users to control and customize their lighting experience via an intuitive app interface, which was also part of the design process.

Recognized for its innovative approach to children's lighting, F9 Floor Lamp has won three prestigious design awards: iF Design Award 2024, Design for Asia Award 2024, China Successful Design Award. With its powerful yet compact form, intuitive technology, and thoughtful aesthetics, Philips F9 Floor Lamp is setting a new benchmark for study lighting.
