The upgrade transforms the iconic façade into a stunning visual spectacle, offering a wide spectrum of vibrant colours and effects, enhancing the guest experience while reinforcing Dubai's status as a global leader in innovation and design excellence.

The process was carefully coordinated, with a six-month mock-up testing to ensure seamless integration. The upgraded system features dynamic RGBW technology, replacing static lights with colour-changing, addressable fixtures to create complex lighting effects. Without compromising Burj Khalifa's sleek design, the system can create dynamic lighting scenes, from festive displays to everyday illuminations, complementing the tower's media screen and adapting to various occasions and celebrations.
