Lights of Vienna, a global provider of premium custom lighting, has completed the manufacturing and delivery of all chandeliers and luminaires for the Mataf extension at the Holy Mosque in Makkah.
The Ꞓ90 million project covers gold-gilded chandeliers, ceiling and wall
luminaires, and climate-resistant outdoor lighting, all equipped with
high-efficiency LED systems. About 550 custom-made fixtures were delivered across 10 lighting types, produced from high-grade stainless steel and more than 200 kg of 24-karat gold.
All fixtures passed extensive structural, waterproofing, and
heat-resistance tests, exceeding international certification
requirements. The centrepiece is the 7 m Al Fath Gate chandelier, weighing 3 tons and engineered to meet the extreme environmental and operational demands of the world's most visited mosque.
"This project highlights our capability to deliver large-scale, technically-sophisticated lighting solutions with cultural relevance," said Lights of Vienna's Managing Partner Alexander Oborny.
The project extends Lights of Vienna's longstanding involvement in Makkah, following its earlier supply of more than 4,450 luminaires for the Shamiya Extension. Production was carried out in Austria with support from partners in Austria and Italy.
