The Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world at 829.8 meters, is getting a stunning upgrade to its lighting system just in time for the UAE’s National Day on December 1. The new dynamic RGBW lighting system combines advanced technology with the building’s architectural beauty, as announced by Emaar Properties.
Lighting System Upgrade Details
The new lighting system has been in the works for months, including a six-month trial to ensure a perfect fit. Unlike the old static lights, this upgraded system features color-changing, addressable fixtures capable of creating intricate lighting effects. This means the Burj Khalifa will sparkle like never before, enhancing its iconic status in Dubai’s skyline.
Upcoming Milestones
The debut of the upgraded lights during the Eid Al Etihad celebrations marks the start of new festivities. Additionally, the Burj Khalifa is approaching another major milestone—its 15th anniversary on January 4, 2025.
The tower continues to attract global attention. Recently, YouTuber MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) scaled the building in a jaw-dropping feat. Other stars, such as Tom Cruise and Will Smith, have also climbed this architectural marvel in the past.
