Dubai Waterfront Centre Dubai, UAE

Dubai Waterfront is one of the UAE’s most exciting retail, dining and leisure destinations and occupies a prime location along the Dubai Creek. The 200,000 sq.m retail resort has 550 shops, including 25 flagship outlets, over 90 international restaurants, bistros and cafés and 40 al-fresco dining venues along the water. In addition a skywalk entertainment level is home to a 12-screen cinema complex with associated technology and lifestyle outlets. A Delmatic lighting management system controls lighting throughout the retail resort. Energy-efficient presence-detectors control lighting within back-of-house and support areas while a sophisticated switching and dimming system provides addressable scene-setting of lighting within the front-of-house public retail areas and carparks. The dimming system combines tungsten architectural dimming racks with analogue and digital dimming while LEDs and decorative lighting is controlled by fully-integrated controls with colour-changing effects activated from a single lighting management head-end PC. The Delmatic system utilises the site-wide IT backbone for communication across the vast site and IP Routers connect to the high-speed network avoiding the need for duplication of network cabling.
