One of Egypt’s most famous landmarks, the Cairo Tower, has been given a new night-time look, owing to an energy-efficient lighting scheme created by colour-changing light emitting diode (LED) technology.
The LED lighting technology, developed by Philips, is said to use about 80% less energy than a similar scheme using conventional lighting technology, providing cost and environmental benefits.
The technology also offers colour effects and low maintenance costs.
“We are extremely proud to help promote our nation's history and heritage in this way,” Philips Lighting CEO in Egypt, Tamer Abolghar, said, adding that the lighting technologies would create night-time effects that were not possible previously.
