Philips Lighting, a global leader in lighting, illuminated the Kırıkkale Nur Mosque in Turkey that has been awarded with an "Award of Merit" at the 33rd International Lighting Design Competition organized by International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) in San Diego. Inspired by the late Ottoman architecture, the mosque has a 32-meter high main dome, an indoor area of 26,000 meter square, four prayer towers and has a capacity for 10,000 people in total. The award jury was convinced by the unique lighting design approach, featuring Philips Color Kinetics technology, which emphasizes the spiritual identity of the mosque and created an iconic appearance for the city of Kırıkkale.
