- Vibrant RGBW lighting system revitalises the tower’s iconic façade
- Debut scheduled for Eid Al Etihad celebrations
Emaar Properties has announced the successful completion of an advanced façade lighting overhaul for the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest structure. This state-of-the-art RGBW lighting system, seamlessly blending technological innovation with architectural sophistication, will be unveiled during the UAE’s Eid Al Etihad festivities on 1 December 2024. It also heralds the countdown to the Burj Khalifa’s 15th anniversary on 4 January 2025.
The new system reimagines the tower’s exterior with an extraordinary range of vivid colours and dynamic effects, elevating the guest experience and highlighting Dubai’s reputation as a global hub for design and innovation.
The upgrade process included meticulous preparation, with six months of mock-up testing to ensure smooth integration. Replacing static lighting, the dynamic RGBW technology introduces addressable, colour-changing fixtures capable of creating intricate light displays. From day-to-day illuminations to elaborate festive themes, the system enhances Burj Khalifa’s media façade and adapts effortlessly to various occasions, all while maintaining the tower’s signature sleek aesthetic.
Mr Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Executive Director at Emaar Properties, stated: “Burj Khalifa has always stood as a beacon of what is possible when vision meets innovation. This lighting overhaul is a testament to our continuous pursuit of excellence and a tribute to the UAE’s spirit of progress. As we unveil this stunning upgrade during Eid Al Etihad celebrations and approach the tower’s 15th anniversary, this transformation marks a new chapter in its legacy, reaffirming Dubai as a city of boundless ambition.”
The new lighting system amplifies Burj Khalifa’s global standing as a masterpiece of modern architecture and design ingenuity. By combining cutting-edge technology with artistic vision, the project sets a new benchmark for façade lighting and will undoubtedly inspire similar ventures worldwide.
