Located in Dubai Harbour, United Arab Emirates, The Anchor is a premium waterfront commercial destination designed around dining, leisure, and coastal lifestyle experiences. The lighting system required high durability, precise beam control and consistent color performance due to the waterfront location and harsh outdoor conditions.
GS LIGHT provided a complete Commercial Architectural Lighting Solution, including lighting design support, customized LED lighting supply, and professional quality control to meet the demanding requirements of a coastal environment.
The lighting system was designed to enhance architectural features, improve visual experiences, and ensure reliable long-term performance under Dubai’s high temperatures, humidity, and salt-air conditions. Every lighting system was customized to meet the project's architectural design intent while ensuring durability, energy efficiency, and seamless integration across indoor and outdoor environments.
Extreme Coastal Environment
Dubai Harbour exposed the lighting system to: Salt air corrosion, High humidity, High temperature.
Solution: 316 Stainless Steel options, Electrophoretic coating, 500-hour salt spray testing, IP66/IP67 protection.

Application Environments
To ensure reliable performance in demanding coastal environments, GS LIGHT products undergo rigorous independent laboratory testing. Selected fixtures are fully verified by accredited bodies, providing long-term confidence for commercial architectural applications.
Outdoor fixtures are verified through Neutral Salt Spray (NSS) testing to ensure uncompromising durability in high-humidity and maritime climates.
In accordance with IEC 60598-1:2024. A comprehensive portfolio passing IP65, IP66, IP67, and IP68 testing to seal against dust and water immersion.
* All testing completed by independent, third-party laboratories accredited by CNAS and ILAC-MRA. Full technical documentation, including specific lot testing metrics and complete laboratory reports, is available to project engineers and specifiers upon request.
To achieve a balanced lighting experience across different architectural areas, GS LIGHT provided a comprehensive lighting solution combining facade illumination, landscape lighting, decorative lighting, and functional lighting.
Wall washer lights and facade lighting systems were applied to highlight architectural structures, create visual depth, and strengthen the building identity at night.
Outdoor lighting fixtures were integrated into landscape areas and pathways to improve navigation, create comfortable outdoor experiences, and connect the architecture with its surrounding environment.
Decorative lighting elements were used to create unique visual accents and enhance the atmosphere of commercial spaces, supporting the premium waterfront experience.
Indoor lighting solutions were selected to provide comfortable illumination for commercial spaces while maintaining a consistent lighting language with the exterior environment.
