Approximately 1,700 customised Traxon Liner Shield AC XB-36 with red/white LEDs were installed on the stadium’s façade to light its shell in Poland’s national colours - red and white. Controlled by an e:cues Lighting Control Engine (LCE) and Butlers, the façade can be transformed into a giant media screen displaying game results, goals and other information. An additional 72 Wall Washer AC XB-36 Cold White fixtures were installed atop 72 columns surrounding the venue that dim on and off as if there are sparkling stars floating above the stadium.

Lumenpulse, is a Pharos LPC 60 programmed with the Pharos Designer software, enabling displays of a vast array of static or moving colour designs on the exterior and interior of the stadium. More than nine acres of roof, clear façade panels on the side of the building and the roof’s support masts all provide an incredible canvas for displays of both static and dynamic lighting, with more than 26,000 individual programmable lighting elements. “The LED installation at BC Place is unique in that the light shows and effects are simultaneously visible from the interior and exterior,” explains Steve Bedford at EOS Lightmedia, who is responsible for programming the light shows. “The final installation is both a scripted part of the ticketed experience and a high profile architectural installation. The flexible interface and control options allow fine-tuned cues to be executed by lighting consoles for big budget halftime shows and by scorekeepers for touchdowns and crowd messages, while allowing building systems to handle the necessary architectural commands and astronomical automation.”
