ADNOC
The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, known by its acronym ADNOC, is the state-owned oil company of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is the world’s 12th largest oil company by production.
With new petrol stations rolling out through the UAE ADNOC wanted to illuminate the driveway boundaries and balance economic development with their environmental responsibility by utilising a 100% renewable power lighting product.
A specialised colour SBL2 Series was required to differentiate between the standard white light illuminating the facility, so they chose to adopt a blue LED chip colour to blend in with their corporate colour scheme.
