This LED Retail Lighting System Leads Shoppers to Their Product

— February 20, 2014 — Tech
The consumer lifestyle brand giant Philips has recently launched their latest technology of retail lighting system that is similar to Apple's iBeacon.

Through the use of intelligent mini LED lights, the customer will be able to find their groceries with maximized ease. As well as provide shopping assistance, the system is capable of alerting customers with the latest deals and offers.
