Dubai Airport DXB (ARE)
Thanks to ewo's energy-efficient high-performance floodlights, Dubai International Airport saves over 60% in energy costs every year.
A thousand floodlights for energy-efficient LED retrofitting
ewo's high-performance floodlights enable annual energy savings of a whopping 7,000 MWh at one of the world's major transportation hubs, Dubai Airport DXB.
The conversion to LED lighting was part of a large-scale modernization of Dubai International Airport, exchanging old halogen fixtures with ewo’s industry-leading LED floodlights. In addition to substantially improved security, the new luminaries enhance lux value to 30 lx whilst improving energy efficiency and accuracy of illumination, for the betterment of this major international hub.
Depending on the luminaire position and lighting requirements, up to four light panels can be accommodated in the floodlights. This reduces glare to a minimum, guarantees precise light distribution and enables large-area illumination.

Over 60% energy savings
"We have always been confident that the ewo R-System’s power and modularity can surpass its competitors’ performance and we are very pleased that the airport-wide transition to ewo’s R-System is now complete.”, says ewo's CEO Hannes Wohlgemuth on the project.
The project, in association with state-of-the-art pole manufacturer FUCHS Europoles, entered completion in the beginning of 2020, representing an enormous commitment by Dubai DXB airport to ewo’s R-System, a fully modular, hand-constructed floodlight capable of combining multiple distributions within each luminaire.
“"DXB’s apron and aircraft parking areas across its 12.5km2 airfield are now lit with brighter, more efficient LED lights that will deliver annual energy savings of approximately 7,000 MWh. The switch to energy efficient LED lights is expected to reduce loads from 2,200 KW to just 810 KW, a massive drop of 63% in annual consumption."
