Aspire Tower, Qatar

Aspire Tower wears LED lighting skin designed by KSLD. Nearly 4000 color-changing LED luminaires have been installed in a unique cladding system designed by KSLD for Aspire Tower in Doha, Qatar. The exterior lighting scheme for Aspire Tower in the Sports City in Doha, Qatar was inaugurated at the opening of the Asian Games on December 1, 2006.

The lighting scheme consists of a grid of nearly 4000 three-colour LED luminaries individually addressed to allow animated patterns to be played across the tower’s skin. The luminaries were designed in conjunction with Solar GB to provide high visible brightness through the principal viewing area below the horizontal with upward light spill minimised to reduce light pollution. The entire system is controlled by Artistic License’s Colour Tramp software with an extensive Art-Net DMX over Ethernet network that uses high bandwidth fibre-optic cables for vertical distribution on the tower.
