What is included
Light fixing and lighting installation for homes, offices and shops, from one replaced fitting to downlights, LED strip, pendants and outdoor lights. Most lighting faults in Abu Dhabi trace back to a fitting screwed into gypsum board alone, a driver with no headroom, or a joint that humidity has reached. Our own technicians isolate the circuit at the distribution board, prove it dead with a tester and work to the manufacturer's instructions. Any approval the building or the community asks for is identified at the site visit, and we prepare the paperwork.
- Run lengths measured and voltage drop allowed for
- Aluminium channel fixed in the cove to carry heat away
- Driver sized with headroom and placed where it can be reached
- Strip fed from both ends or the middle on long runs
How we carry out LED strip and cove lighting
The cove is measured and the total length of strip is added up, because that figure decides the driver. We size the driver with headroom so it never runs at its limit. Aluminium channel is fixed along the cove first, the strip is pressed into it, and joints are soldered or made with proper connectors. Long runs are fed from both ends or from the middle so the far end does not fade. The driver sits in a ventilated spot behind a hatch or inside joinery, never sealed into the ceiling.
Strip stuck straight onto gypsum or timber has nowhere to shed its heat. The adhesive lets go, the strip droops out of the cove, and the diodes shift colour in patches. A driver loaded to its full rating in a warm void is the other common failure. Voltage drop shows as a strip that is bright at one end and dull at the other. The site visit checks the cove depth, whether the strip will be seen directly or only as a glow, and where the driver can live.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey and diagnosis. A technician inspects the system or surface, takes readings and photographs, and explains what was found in plain language.
- Written quotation. You receive a written quotation against a defined scope before any work starts. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately.
- Protected, supervised work. The work area is protected and isolated, and the job is carried out by our own technicians under a named supervisor.
- Testing. Every job ends with a measured test suited to the discipline, so the result is a reading and a photograph and not an opinion.
- Report and warranty. The completed report reaches you within the hour. Any failed point is put right free of charge within 48 hours.

LED Strip and Cove Lighting in Wave Tower: what we plan for
Residential towers facing the Corniche beach, with sea views across the road and balconies that take wind, salt and sand every day. Tower rules on permits, service lifts and working hours apply even to a short visit, and we arrange all three.
Most Corniche towers supply chilled water to fan coil units in each apartment. Coils, trays and filters are cleaned, drain lines flushed and the thermostat checked, so the unit stops dripping onto ceilings and smelling stale.
Every tower on the Corniche needs a work permit from building management and a booked service lift before work starts. Parking for service vans is limited, so loading times are agreed with the building. These rules are identified at the site visit, and we prepare the paperwork the building asks for.

Questions about LED strip and cove lighting in Wave Tower
What does LED strip and cove lighting include?
LED strip is pressed into an aluminium channel inside the cove or shelf and fed from a driver with spare capacity, so the light is even and the strip stays cool. The work includes run lengths measured and voltage drop allowed for; aluminium channel fixed in the cove to carry heat away; driver sized with headroom and placed where it can be reached.
Why is my cove light dimmer at one end?
That is voltage drop. The strip is too long for a single feed, so the far end receives less than it needs. Feeding the run from both ends, splitting it across two drivers or moving to a higher voltage strip cures it.
Can LED strip be dimmed or change colour?
Both are possible, but the strip, the driver and the controller have to be chosen together. A plain strip on a non dimmable driver cannot be dimmed later without changing the driver.
How much does LED strip and cove lighting cost in Wave Tower, Corniche Road?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size and type of the system or surface; present condition and ease of access. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides LED strip and cove lighting in Wave Tower, Corniche Road?
The MELLS provides LED strip and cove lighting in Wave Tower, Corniche Road, Abu Dhabi. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 55 444 0084.
How long does LED strip and cove lighting take?
Typically 1 to 3 hours for a few fittings, longer for whole rooms. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Can a heavy chandelier hang from a gypsum ceiling?
Not from the board itself. The weight has to go to the slab or a joist through a fixing rated for the load, with the gypsum only covering it. We open a small access above the position, set the anchor and close the ceiling around the rose.
Is a permit needed for lighting work in a tower or mall in Wave Tower, Corniche Road?
Towers and malls normally ask for a work permit, and a retail unit has to follow the landlord fit out guide. We identify what applies at the site visit and prepare the paperwork the building or the landlord asks for.
Should every light in a room be the same colour?
Within one room, yes. Warm white suits living rooms and bedrooms, and neutral white suits kitchens and work areas. Two whites on one ceiling look patchy, so we read the colour temperature printed on each lamp before it is fitted.
Do you arrange the building permit in Wave Tower, Corniche Road?
Yes. Most buildings ask contractors for a work permit, trade licence, insurance and staff IDs, and a service lift booking. We submit all of it for you.
What days do you work on the Corniche?
Corniche appointments run Monday to Saturday between 08:00 and 19:00, subject to the building's own permitted hours for contractors, which we confirm before booking.
How do I choose a company for LED strip and cove lighting in Wave Tower, Corniche Road?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (a measured test for every job, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
