Low visibility landing

That was a first. This afternoon I landed at Luton with Easy on an A319. On approach the captain informed us that, due to very poor visibility, he would have to use the 'low visibility procedure' and that we should switch off all electronic devices. I've never heard of that one before Can someone please enlighten me what this low vis procedure entails and why electronic devices have to be switched off?

In the event, the visibility on landing was fine, so not sure what that was about.

I've no idea how to pull up historic metars but the relevant time was 13:34.
