Public Institute of Social Security (PIFFS)

One of Kuwait’s governmental institutions with a unique structural design. Khabari’s input to this project was to re-instate the existing Façade lighting system with the latest LED technology.

The concept behind this lighting solution was to use two types of lights which would define the complete architectural structure of the building. The challenge was to change the lighting system that was built 10-12 years back with an LED lighting system. We had to carefully study the existing wiring (electrical & data) systems to ensure there will be no major modifications required as it is needed to remain an operational building.

The lights used were designed in such a way that we had ra educed quantity of hardware involved in the control of the complete system. In the main façade of the building two lines of acrylic tubes with LED pixel lines in them were installed to highlight the building façade and the height. The building was designed with recessed up lights in the balcony of each floor.

Our goals were to use a system that will enable us to integrate both types of light fittings to play scenarios together in synchronisation with each other. The system now gives the flexibility to add more lights into the same system with bare minimum addition of hardware components.
