- Stunning lighting effects transform the iconic skyscraper
- To premiere during Eid Al Etihad celebrations
Emaar Properties has announced the completion of a transformative lighting system for the Burj Khalifa. The innovative RGBW façade lighting, which seamlessly integrates technology and design, will debut on 1 December 2024 as part of the UAE’s Eid Al Etihad celebrations, leading up to the 15th anniversary of the world’s tallest building on 4 January 2025.
This cutting-edge upgrade redefines the Burj Khalifa’s exterior with a diverse array of vivid colours and dynamic lighting patterns, enriching visitor experiences and reaffirming Dubai’s reputation as a global hub for innovation and design.
The installation followed an extensive six-month testing phase to ensure precision and reliability. The new RGBW technology, featuring addressable colour-changing lights, replaces static fixtures, offering a variety of dramatic and festive displays while maintaining the building’s sleek and modern look.
Mr Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Executive Director at Emaar Properties, said: “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.”
This innovative project combines cutting-edge technology with artistic ingenuity, setting a new global standard for architectural lighting and inspiring future developments worldwide.
