Lumileds, the division of Philips for sale, does not make connected lighting. That is made by Philips lighting. That is, Lumileds makes LEDs. Philips lighting makes light bulbs, that have LEDs inside. Any other sensors and connected portion of the product are also built into the bulb, but not by Lumileds.

For now maybe, but as we've seen with most LED lighting, the trend is to incorporate ASICs into the LED packages. So Lumiled's products would presumably be capable of all kinds of interesting things. If not immediately, than in a year or two.

  Any company could pivot to anything in the future. Why would that be relevant to a national security intervention like this?

    Not to mention - if the US was afraid of chinese ASICs in general, well... it's a little late to get picky.

They say they don't make connected lighting. Probably true for 99% of their output. But the 'special' LED banks with hostile / surveillance electronics in them, for 'special' customers? Bet they don't show up in the catalogue.
