Xenon Certificate of authenticity

COA: Certificate of authenticity

Counterfeit Philips xenon lamps are becoming increasingly available through online and offline distribution channels. These counterfeit lamps are poor imitations of inferior quality. Buying, selling or being in possession of counterfeit products is illegal.

To protect our customers and all consumers from counterfeit Philips lighting products, we’ve created a pro-active solution using unique, state-of-the-art technology.

Philips Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is available on every xenon lamp package you order.

Using the Security code, professionals can verify the authenticity of the Philips product on a dedicated, fully secure internet platform.
