Specifications

This stunning Middle Eastern cultural landmark is one of the most ambitious lighting projects in the world. From
architectural and ambient lighting indoors to artistic illumination outdoors (including a 29.5-day cycle mimicking the
phases of the moon), the Grand Mosque stands apart for its lighting control. Four ETC Congo
®
consoles were used to
program the exterior lighting, and the cues are run on six Congo Light Servers
™
. Specially written ETC control software
provides a sophisticated fault-reporting system, ensuring that the 19,000 conventional and 1,250 intelligent-lighting
fixtures communicate via RDM and ACN using Net3
™
Gateways. The Grand Mosque also employs 52 ETC Matrix Mk II
dimmer racks and 15 ETC Unison
®
CMEi Processors for the architectural lighting control.
