As Guangzhou’s Tianhe District pulses with the energy of urban renewal, the Guangdong Olympic Sports Center emerges reborn—not just as a venue, but as a luminous heartbeat for the 15th National Games. Spanning over 345,900 square meters of outdoor transformation and 183,100 square meters of architectural upgrades, this municipal icon is set to host electrifying track and field and water polo spectacles. At Guangdong Hongyu Lighting Engineering Construction Co., Ltd., we spearheaded the lighting enhancements, infusing the complex with a modern, vibrant glow that honors the “Poetic and Picturesque Night Yangcheng” vision from Guangzhou’s 2021-2035 Urban Lighting Plan.Design Vision: Vibrant Spirit, Poetic Power
Our illumination narrative captures the essence of athletic dynamism within Guangzhou’s poetic nightscape theme of “One Belt, Two Axes, Multiple Nodes.” We crafted a dual-layered strategy to balance everyday accessibility with event-ready spectacle:
- Daily Elegance – “Internal Radiance”: Subtle internal translucent lighting bathes the arenas in soft, energy-efficient 3000K–4000K whites, highlighting the sleek contours of modern architecture. This creates safe, inviting spaces for community jogs and evening training, evoking a sense of calm vitality without overwhelming the surroundings.
- Event Ignition – “Explosive Facade”: Reserved modular facade systems spring to life during competitions, deploying high-impact RGBW floodlights and linear accents that pulse with the crowd’s roar—shifting from pure whites for focused intensity to thematic color bursts (vibrant reds and blues) that symbolize the unyielding sports spirit.
- Festival Harmony – “Media Symphony”: Integrated digital media facades synchronize with holidays, projecting poetic motifs like flowing Pearl River waves or soaring athletes, turning the center into a node of cultural celebration that connects to the city’s broader “belt and axes” lighting network.
This approach doesn’t just light the venue; it amplifies its role as a Greater Bay Area catalyst—fostering economic vitality, inspiring cross-border sports excellence, and creating memorable nights that linger long after the final whistle.Technical Brilliance
- Over 5,000 high-output LED fixtures, including IP67-rated floodlights and DMX512-controlled media panels, delivering 200–300 lx for optimal visibility and safety.
- Intelligent zoning with ambient sensors and astronomical clocks for 25 automated scenes (training mode, game-day surge, low-energy eco-night), achieving 40% energy savings while adhering to urban dark-sky standards.
- Seamless integration of internal cove lighting with external modular arrays, ensuring quick-deploy scalability for the National Games and future events, backed by robust surge protection for Guangzhou’s variable weather.
- High-CRI (>90) optics preserve color accuracy for broadcast feeds, with full remote monitoring to maintain peak performance year-round.
Under the Tianhe night sky, the Guangdong Olympic Sports Center now stands as more than infrastructure—it’s a stage where light fuels ambition, unites communities, and spotlights the Greater Bay Area’s boundless potential. As the 15th National Games approach, this upgrade promises not just brighter games, but brighter futures.At Guangdong Hongyu Lighting Engineering Construction Co., Ltd., we transform public spaces into enduring symbols of energy and elegance.Project: Guangdong Olympic Sports Center Upgrade Lighting
