Dubai: Emaar Properties has completed a groundbreaking upgrade to the facade lighting of Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, setting the stage for a stunning visual spectacle during the UAE’s Eid Al Etihad celebrations on December 1, 2024.
The innovative lighting system, featuring dynamic RGBW technology, will also be a highlight in the lead-up to 15th anniversary of Burj Khalifa on January 4, 2025.
The upgraded lighting transforms the iconic structure into a vibrant canvas of colors and effects, showcasing Dubai’s commitment to design excellence and technological innovation.
The dynamic RGBW system replaces static lights with addressable fixtures that change colors, enabling complex lighting displays that enhance Burj Khalifa’s striking architecture while adapting to a variety of occasions and celebrations.

As we celebrate Eid Al Etihad and approach the tower’s 15th anniversary, this upgrade signifies our ongoing dedication to excellence and innovation, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub of ambition and progress.”
The integration of the new lighting system involved six months of meticulous testing to ensure flawless execution. The result is a system that offers dynamic lighting scenes for everything from festive displays to daily illuminations, seamlessly complementing the media screen of the tower.
As a global icon, Burj Khalifa continues to inspire, blending cutting-edge technology with artistic vision to redefine how landmark structures are illuminated. This major upgrade not only enhances Burj Khalifa’s visual impact but also establishes new standards in architectural lighting design.
