- RGBW technology enhances the tower’s dynamic visual appeal
- Official launch during UAE’s Eid Al Etihad celebrations
Emaar Properties has unveiled a groundbreaking lighting upgrade for the Burj Khalifa. Using advanced RGBW technology, the new system brings a fresh vibrancy to the tower’s exterior, combining cutting-edge innovation with timeless architectural design. The upgrade will be showcased during the UAE’s Eid Al Etihad celebrations on 1 December 2024, leading up to the tower’s 15th anniversary on 4 January 2025.
This transformation delivers an extensive range of colours and intricate effects, creating a more engaging experience for visitors and reaffirming Dubai’s role as a global leader in design and technology.
The upgrade was preceded by six months of testing to ensure precise integration. The RGBW fixtures replace the static lights previously used, introducing colour-changing and addressable features capable of crafting stunning lighting sequences for celebrations and daily displays alike. These enhancements seamlessly align with Burj Khalifa’s media screen and preserve its iconic design.
Mr Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Executive Director at Emaar Properties, commented: “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 project exemplifies the fusion of technology and artistry, setting a new benchmark for architectural lighting innovation and inspiring projects worldwide.
