Facade Lighting & Control Expertise

Precision-Driven Architectural Façade Lighting

At Gulf Light, façade lighting is not just about illumination it is about control, precision, and architectural intent.

We specialize in design accurate installation and commissioning of façade lighting systems using DMX, DALI, and conventional control protocols, delivering seamless lighting effects that enhance architectural identity while ensuring long term reliability.

From hospitality landmarks to commercial façades, our team executes lighting installations that balance visual impact, technical accuracy, and durability in demanding outdoor environments.

Our Expertise Includes

  • DMX Façade Lighting Systems
    Dynamic color control, pixel mapping, scene programming, and synchronized effects for architectural elevations.
  • Architectural White & Static Lighting
    Precision-focused façade lights, wall washers, grazers, and uplights for clean, timeless illumination.
  • Control System Integration
    DMX, DALI, 0–10V, and hybrid control systems integrated with timers, scenes, and automation platforms.
  • On-Site Installation & Commissioning
    Accurate aiming, beam alignment, addressing, testing, and final scene calibration.
  • Outdoor-Grade Execution
    Expertise in IP-rated installations, driver protection, cable management, and long-term weather resistance.

Why Our Façade Installations Stand Out

  • Lighting designed for the architecture, not just the fixture
  • Clean wiring, concealed drivers, and service friendly layouts
  • Even light distribution with no spill, glare, or patchiness
  • Reliable performance in heat, humidity, and coastal environments
  • Seamless handover with tested scenes and documented addressing

Al Saud Head Office

Project Overview

  • Project Name: Al Saud Head Office
  • Location: Sharjah, UAE
  • Project Type: Residential Sector Project

Project Brief

The Al Saud Head Office in Sharjah is a refined example of traditional architectural language enhanced through modern lighting design. Developed by Al Saud Real Estate, the building features a richly detailed façade with arched windows, recessed elements, and rhythmic architectural patterns that required a sensitive and precise lighting approach.

The objective was to preserve the traditional identity of the building while introducing a contemporary nighttime presence through carefully controlled illumination.

Scope of Work

  • Complete lighting design
  • Lighting fixture supply
  • Exterior façade lighting installation
  • Interior lighting installation
  • On site aiming, testing, and commissioning

Lighting Design & Approach

The lighting strategy focused on architectural enhancement rather than visual dominance. Warm-toned uplights were used to emphasize the building’s vertical proportions, while soft accent lighting highlighted arches, recesses, and decorative elements without overpowering the façade.

Careful attention was given to:

  • Beam control to avoid glare and light spill
  • Uniform illumination across façade surfaces
  • Balanced contrast between highlighted elements and shadowed areas

The result is a façade that feels elegant, calm, and architecturally respectful, while still achieving strong visual presence at night.

Installation & Execution

  • Precise fixture positioning aligned with architectural features
  • Clean integration of lighting elements within the façade
  • Concealed cabling and protected driver placement
  • Accurate aiming and nighttime calibration to achieve uniform output

Result

The completed lighting transforms the Al Saud Head Office into a distinct nighttime landmark, enhancing its architectural character while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The façade lighting adds depth and refinement, reinforcing the building’s identity without compromising its traditional design language.
