Seattle, WA – The energy and excitement of college sports is not limited to just the players’ experiences on the court or field of play. Modern sports arenas are an immersive and captivating venue for players, coaches, and fans alike. One notable way that sports arenas have transformed into vibrant and dynamic spaces is the incorporation of RGB lighting. This innovative approach to lighting is a game-changer in the sports entertainment industry. Its integration into stadiums and arenas has brought a new dimension to the spectator experience. It offers a visual spectacle that complements the action on the basketball court, volleyball court, or gymnastics arena.

What is RGB Lighting?

Red Green Blue (RGB) lighting refers to technology that blends the three primary colors in different intensities to produce a vast range of hues. It allows for millions of color variations and enables sports arenas to be versatile canvases for dynamic visual marvels. These lighting systems can be synchronized with music, game events, or specific moments during gameplay or performances to create a breathtaking visual spectacle.

Whether it is celebrating a win, enriching a halftime show, or acknowledging an outstanding play or performance, the lighting effects heighten the drama and excitement, amplifying the overall experience for attendees. RGB lighting control systems allow for intricate synchronized choreography making the lights pulse, flicker, and dim at appropriate intervals. This synchronization not only entertains the audience but also adds a layer of immersion, making fans feel more connected to the game’s intensity.

Home Team Advantage

One of the most frequently used applications of RGB lighting is during player pre-game introductions. As the home team is announced, they can make their presence known with an immersive light show. The stands and spectators are awash with vibrant home team hues. This synchronized display of lights unifies the home team, elevating their excitement even before the first event, tipoff, or serve.

From pre-game introductions to pivotal moments during the game, match, or meet, RGB lighting systems have the power to intensify the atmosphere and further excite spectators. The use of high-efficiency LED RGB lighting in sports arenas is not only a way to effectively illuminate the space, but it also essentially adds another participant to the home team cheering section.

RGB lighting is an absolute game-changer for spectator sports. The excitement and camaraderie of the event are enhanced with team colors and light shows.

Alaska Airlines Arena Chooses Lighting Innovation

Alaska Airlines Arena at the University of Washington recently implemented RGB lighting in their facility. Now UW volleyball, gymnastics, and basketball fans can experience the light and color-changing experience for themselves. University of Washington chose local lighting installation specialist, Lumenal Lighting, to undertake the transformation of Alaska Airlines Arena. Lumenal’s skilled team of licensed Journey Level Electricians and Apprentices removed 124 1000-watt metal halide sports flood lights. They were replaced with 86 high-efficiency, RGB capable, LED fixtures. These new RGB color-changing lights enhance the fan and participant sporting experience.

RGB LED lighting systems are energy-efficient and durable. Compared to traditional lighting, LEDs consume less energy and have a significantly longer expected lifespan. Energy costs and maintenance expenses are reduced at Alaska Airlines Arena. Not only do the new RGB arena lights enhance fan experience, but upgrading to LED reduces energy consumption by over 60%. The new fixtures make sense for energy conservation, environmental friendliness, and long-term cost of ownership. Their long lifespan reduces maintenance expenses and inconvenience to facilities operations personnel.
