Description
For everyone who missed the Guinness World Record breaking light show on New Year's Eve, the Burj Khalifa Light Up Downtown 2018 Light Show has been extended until 31 March 2018.
Having broken the world record for the biggest light and sound show on a single building and witnessed by one million spectators, Emaar has decided to enable residents and tourists to watch it again throughout the week.
'Light Up 2018' required the installation of lights, beams and accessories weighing over 118.44 tonnes, and 28.7 km of cables.
The show transformed Downtown Dubai into one of the world's brightest spots, measuring 76.3 million lumens of brightness.
Carefully choreographed lasers, certified as completely safe to human eyes, and energy-efficient LED bulbs were rigged using 25.3 km of ropes and supported by 20 tonnes of special customised-steel mounting equipment.
Over 40 special outdoor lasers, 230 high power Xenon searchlights and 280 outdoor beam moving lights were deployed, underpinned by the highest searchlight and laser installations in the world at 828 metres – the height of Burj Khalifa.
Over 300 professionals worked on-site including 100 rope-access experts; collectively they travelled over one million kilometres to join the project.
