Month: November 2018

It was great to have it confirmed last week that the new Dubai Arena will be installing Ecoglo.

This project will mean that AEG Ogden are involved with our most recent installation (Dubai Arena) and our very first installation (Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney). Qudos Bank Arena was installed in 1998 and Ecoglo step products have been a fundamental part of the facility’s emergency lighting system since then.

Dubai Arena will have a mix of step based products and these will be part of our display at the Big 5 in Dubai in a couple of weeks. We’ll also be showing our revolutionary hybrid photoluminescent/LED exit sign.

To see our full product range visit us at Booth # 6E263 at the Big 5, Dubai World Trade Centre, 26-29 November.

Last week I had the opportunity to visit the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It looks a lot different today than it did when I last I visited in 2008 (see 2008 photo on right and 2018 on left).

In 2008 there was only one demonstration floor fitted out but it did include Ecoglo! The building is now 163 floors high and, although they were adding a floor every 3 days, in 2008 it was still quite a few floors short of that.

In all there are around 11,500 steps in the evacuation routes with Ecoglo step products providing a fundamental element in the emergency egress systems for the building.

To see how Ecoglo works in those systems take a look at the video on: http://www.Ecoglo.com
