In the main lobby, two walls feature thousands of frosted circular lenses that diffuse graphics and video effects from LightWild Pixels while the ceiling's blue and white fluorescent tubes are controlled and coordinated for an all encompassing experience. Guests in the VIP lobby have a similar wall and ceiling lighting experience as they enter the arena and travel escalators to the VIP lounge and main concourse.
The entire five-surface interior lighting project includes more than 4,500 fluorescent and LED fixtures that are individually controlled from the arena control room using a LightWild-designed network. The nearly 4,000 LED fixtures in the installation include more than 75,000 individual LEDs.
"We are thrilled to have participated in the arena project," says Tom Stafford, President of LightWild. "What an experience for the attendees to walk in the arena for an Eisbaren Berlin game and have light energize you before the game or event even begins."
The O2 World Arena is owned and operated by Anschutz Entertainment Group. The arena also includes one of the world's largest architectural lighting grids that LightWild designed in conjunction with the arena's architects and owners. The massive grid is seamlessly integrated into the south exterior glass facade.
