"In the coming months, Xiaomi customers using its smart home ecosystem will be able to choose from an even broader family of well-designed connected LED luminaires that work on the Xiaomi platform," said Philips Lighting Market Leader for Greater China, John Wang, in a press release.
Philips Lighting previously manufactured several smart LED luminaires for Xiaomi, which is said to be selling quite well. (fmn/kes)
