Our Middle East office has recently completed an unprecedented lighting project in Madinah. The project required the replacement of 1200W metal halide lamps in outdoor post-top lanterns with an LED alternative providing increased energy efficiency and longer life, without modifying the outer appearance of the luminaires. MCI provided custom panels using 540 high power LEDs to replace each MH lamp, reducing the power by half and extending the life from 12,000 to 50,000 hours.

Located in theheart of the Central Business District, the Maxwell Chamber Building has significant architectural and historical heritage.  Originally designed as a Customs House in the early 1940s the structure was recently renovated and refurbishes and now serves as the world’s first integrated alternative dispute resolution complex. 1840 feet of our Linear LED in Warm White (3000K) illuminate numerous side glass panels and produce a spectacular effect, underlining the neo-classical façade.

The W Hotel in Barcelona, popularly know as the “Hotel Vela”, is a prestigious creation of Spanish architect Ricardo Boffil. The five-star hotel, with splendid views over the Meditarranean Sea, features 476 guest rooms, 67 suites and a panoramic bar.  The reflective façade is outlined by 2,400 feet of the MUNDOLEDNEON.  The interior design is still under constrution, and will also incorporate numerous MCI LED products.

The impressive condominium complex Durrat Al Bahrain, built on the artificial island of Durrat, includes 153 villas destined to be the home of businessmen and executives from all over the world. To complement the five miles of custom indirect linear product delivered by MCI in January 2008 we ae now delivering three additional miles of the indirect product.

Our business partner NOVAIMAGEN has recently opened a spacious showroom presenting MCI’s products to customers in Chile. The showroom, conveniently located in the city of Santiago, tailors to architects and interior designers’ needs. Our partner’s lighting projects include commercial and residential installations. The showroom staff includes experienced lighting industry experts.

The multinational corporation was looking for an indirect lighting solution with the following criteria: low heat emission, easy to maintain and low consumption - a combination which led them directly to the MCI Group. The space is situated in the heart of Barcelona, right at the intersection of the famous Francesc Macia square and the Avenida Diagonal and consists of a restaurant, a store for consumer products as well as merchandising.  Our technical staff was recommended the Linear LED for its ease of installation. The light output is homogenous and the heat emission practically non-existent. The installation used 57 10-ft rolls, installed in three different areas of the store, for a total of 10.260 LEDs.

The 12 foot  street lights are installed on the median of an important road in Sant Cugat de Vallés, Barcelona, Spain. The aim was to illuminate the roadway and the pedestrian crossings. Each street light comprises two 60W LED fixtures per pole (120W total) and solar panels combined with two batteries in order to accumulate sufficient energy during day time to produce light up to three winter nights in a row, which corresponds to 42 hours autonomy. In order to achieve an even better level of energy efficiency, the system incorporates the possibility to reduce the consumption by dimming the power of the luminaries in certain hours of the day using a light intensity regulator.

The company Lichtlabor Bartenbach (LLB) from Aldrans, Austria, a leader in lighting design and the research and development of optimal lighting solutions, and MCI Group collaborated to hold a conference for GISA (regional public organization for infrastructure building & services). The event focused on the use of light in underground areas.  The keynote was delivered by Mr. Andreas Danler, member of the executive board of LLB and he dedicated his speech to select lighting professionals. People.

The Linear LED, in combination with a diffuser lens, emphasizes the architectural rhythm of this Tower, located in Beirut, Lebanon.  The electrical consumption of 5.5W per linear meter is approximately 90% lower than that of fluorescent or neon.  Each LED strip had been tagged with a serial number in the post-production phase in order to facilitate the installation.  “It was clear to us that the tower, being located on the sea front, would be exposed to wind on all sides. The Linear LED provides a perfect solution, because it is sturdy, hardly needs maintenance and uses very little energy, while highlighting the balconies beautifully,” comments Frederik Hoffman, General Manager of MCI.
