Lunar illumination

Lunar illumination The unique lightning system was designed to reflect the phases of the moon. Soft undulating clouds of a bluish gray colour are projected onto the white marble external surfaces of the mosque including the façade and domes.  Each day appears a little different from the next as the lighting cycle commences with darker clouds when the month is in its early stages and the moon is a small crescent.  As the moon progresses through its cycle and becomes full, so does the lightning effect become more brilliant.  There are twenty-two light towers consisting of an efficient number of light projectors to achieve this creative effect.
