What Light Concept does

Light Concept is a privately held, founder-owned professional architectural lighting design firm headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, established in 2007 by Eng. Tanas Khoury. The firm operates with a small professional team of 11–50 employees and delivers specialized lighting design across four core service categories — Façade Lighting, Landscape Lighting, Indoor Lighting, and Infrastructure Lighting — supplemented by supervision and commissioning services for both interior and exterior applications.

The firm's technical scope spans LED lighting technology, smart/IoT-enabled lighting control systems, dynamic and interactive lighting that adjusts in real time to environmental factors (temperature, wind, movement), projection mapping for large-scale façade installations, DC LED chips integrating power management onto the chip, and Li-Fi data-transmission capability. Projects are delivered through direct, sales-led engagement with property developers, architects, hospitality operators, government and public-sector entities, religious and cultural institutions, and select high-net-worth residential clients across the Middle East (UAE, Qatar, Palestine) and select international geographies (Cyprus, London).

Light Concept monetizes exclusively through project-based professional services fees for design, supervision, and commissioning; pricing is quoted per engagement rather than disclosed. The firm is founder-led with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, parent company, or subsidiaries, and competition for awards and marquee project wins (e.g., Princess Tower, Sharjah Mosque) functions as the primary demand signal in the regional market.
