LED Lighting & Controls Transforming The Experience Of Your Stadium
The latest LED lighting and controls systems offer a wealth of opportunity to enhance your entire stadium footprint experience for players, fans and broadcasters alike. Powercor and Signify’s partnership has successfully supported several major operators to improve their stadium experiences through lighting.
Offering superior light quality and flexibility – LED lighting offers high-quality, bright and uniform illumination, ensuring excellent visibility for any stadium approach, interior spaces and across the pitch. LED lighting offers clarity that will enhance both player performance and fan enjoyment. What’s more, our systems allow for dynamic light shows and the ability to tailor atmospheres to different events. The benefits don’t stop here.

Sustainability and reduced environmental impact – By consuming less power and offering a longer operational life, our LED lighting significantly reduces a stadium’s overall energy consumption and carbon footprint, demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility.
Energy efficiency and cost savings – Our LED technology is renowned for its energy efficiency, consuming significantly less power than traditional lighting and leading to substantial cost savings for stadium operators.
Durability and reduced maintenance – LED fixtures from Signify and Powercor have a longer operational life compared to traditional metal halide or halogen bulbs. This reduces the frequency of maintenance and replacements, lowering costs and minimising disruptions.
Advanced lighting control – Our LED lighting systems can seamlessly integrate with sophisticated control platforms, such as Signify’s Interact Sports system. Connected systems enable real-time adjustments, allowing operators to create customised lighting effects and manage energy usage more effectively.
Compliance with broadcasting standards – LED lighting meets the stringent requirements of modern broadcasting, providing bright, flicker-free illumination essential for high-definition and slow-motion replays. This ensures broadcasters capture every detail of the action, enhancing the viewing experience for audiences.
Case Study: Overhauling Iconic Stadium’s Lighting Experience
Powercor and Signify worked closely with an iconic stadium in the South East of England to address their rising energy costs and lighting needs. The stadium sought an extensive and innovative lighting upgrade solution that would enhance sustainability and reduce maintenance expenses. Using in-house products and systems, site surveyors and designers, and installers, the team offered a comprehensive consultancy led improvement programme.
– Over 7,000 luminaires were installed across the estate
– Outside landmark feature lighting. 80 luminaires with full RGBW control via DMX control
– Main entertainment hall/space. 700 luminaires, many with 3D printed bespoke light fittings
– Phase 1 LED Lighting Upgrade. 1,000 luminaires within the stadium back of house areas
– Phase 2 LED Lighting Upgrade. 5,550 luminaires within the stadium and hospitality boxes
The installations delivered a significant 40% reduction in energy usage, leading to substantial savings on electricity bills. The upgrade improved energy efficiency and also aligned with the stadium’s commitment to sustainability.
Advanced LED technology ensures superior brightness, uniformity and colour rendering, enhancing the entire stadium experience.
“We have been working with Powercor and Signify on a number of lighting projects, but one deserves special attention. Powercor were asked to replace 726 light fittings and all controls in under six weeks (with Christmas break in between) in our main entertainment hall. During the first days of the project, we found out all the cabling between the control boxes (located on a different level of the stadium) and the fittings needed replacing. Powercor not only replaced all lights, controls and cabling in time, but a week ahead of the agreed completion date, enabling us to decorate the space in time for our first major event of 2024!” – Head of Property
