Philips

Hue bulb maker

Philips is a Dutch multinational electronics company, known for light bulbs, consumer electronics, and medical equipment.

The name appears on countless household products: a Philips television, Philips shavers.

A Philips head is a type of screw with a cross-shaped slot, and the screwdriver designed to turn it—named for its inventor, not the company.
