KSLD completed the night-time identity lighting scheme to the 52-storey Al-Tijaria Tower in 2010. The brief called for a lighting scheme that would show off this signature building in the Kuwait skyline. By concentrating the lighting to the corners of the off-axis floor plates, and uplighting into the 6-storey high atria, KSLD have accented the twisting shape of the building around a stable core.

A DMX addressable control system operates the colour-changing LED, cold-cathode and metal halide luminaires that were used. Different programmed shows available to the client feature slow moving colour changes and fades, recalling natural movements of wind and sun; this ensures that the building is never quite the same every time you look at it. The colour palette was chosen around secondary and tertiary colours which rendered well onto the building with a depth of colour and intensity. The normal show for the tower is driven by the wind speed, detected by a sensor on the top of the building. As the wind speed increases the tower colour changes from deep blue to a turquoise white from the top down. The stronger the wind the more of the tower is in the paler colour.
