555 ADJ Encore LP5 IP Fixtures Transform Global Village Dubai for Landmark 30th Season A massive installation of 555 ADJ Encore LP5 IP LED par fixtures has transformed the nighttime appearance of Global Village Dubai, one of the UAE’s most popular cultural attractions. Installed ahead of the destination’s milestone 30th season, the fixtures illuminate more than 1,000 meters of pavilion façades, bringing vibrant color, dynamic effects and complete creative flexibility to a landmark project that showcases the versatility and reliability of ADJ’s IP65-rated lighting solutions.
Located adjacent to the Cityland Mall in Dubai, Global Village is a unique multicultural destination that brings together pavilions representing countries and regions from around the world. Alongside cultural exhibits, shopping and dining experiences, the attraction also features selfie spots, carnival rides, games, attractions, regular concerts, and spectacular weekend light, laser and firework displays. Operating from fall through spring each year, the venue welcomes millions of visitors before closing during the region’s extremely hot summer months.

The project was supplied by ADJ’s Middle Eastern distributor, GSL Professional, while the design, installation and project management were handled by Pure Minds for Lighting under the direction of Project Manager Armin Nefasati.The project centered around the installation of 555 Encore LP5 IP fixtures, strategically positioned to illuminatethe extensive pavilion façades. Each fixture is independently addressed, providing complete DMX control over every section of the installation.
This allows each pavilion to maintain its own distinctive color palette andvisual identity while also enabling site-wide color overlays, synchronizedeffects and custom looks for special events, celebrations and holiday promotions. In addition, conventional fixtures integrated into the façadesare DMX controlled using ADJ Uni Pak II dimmer / switch packs, allowing for complete control over every aspect of illumination.

This means that the whole façade can be controlled via DMX with the illuminated signs, spotlights and strip lights just providing warm white, and the pars adding color. For that reason, the lime chip of the LP5 IPs was very important as it allowed us to perfectly match the color temperature of the non-color mixing fixtures when necessary.”The Encore LP5 IP features five powerful 20-WattRGBL (red, green, blue and lime) color mixing LEDs, delivering impressive output and a wide color palette from a compact fixture housing.
Its inclusion of a dedicated lime LED allows for superior white light reproduction andenhanced pastel color mixing, making it particularly suited to architectural and façade illumination projects such as this one.

These are mainly facades made of foam, so don’t have the structural integrity of a solid building, and their heights range from 25 all theway up to 45 meters! It can also get very windy in this region, so we had to calculate the weight loading very carefully and it wouldn’t havebeen possible to use a heavier fixture for many of the necessary installation points.”To facilitate control across the vast installation, 38 Aria X2 Transceiver units were also deployed, providing reliable wireless DMX connectivity throughout the site.
