The grand white marble dome of Humayun’s Tomb will shine bright at night throughout the year. LED bulbs have replaced high energy consuming halogen light fixtures, which were installed at the sepulchre in 1999. New lights at the monuments will reduce the power consumption by 90%, said Ratish Nanda, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), which restored the monument. He said illumination of the dome was a challenge because lighting had to be designed in a way to prevent any shadow on its surface.
