Located in Guangzhou’s Tianhe District, the Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center served as a key venue for the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, boasting a total floor area of 520,000 square meters and completed in 2010 as a municipal public building. This multifaceted hub integrates sports events, commercial activities, and cultural exhibitions. As a state-recognized “Specialized, Refined, Unique, and Innovative” high-tech firm, Hongyu Lighting, with its Class A Lighting Design and Class I Lighting Engineering Construction qualifications, played a pivotal role in the center’s thematic design and construction. Leveraging its expertise, Hongyu Lighting crafted a nightscape lighting solution that blends functionality with artistry, reflecting Guangzhou’s vibrant urban spirit and cultural heritage.
Project Highlights: Hongyu Lighting’s Comprehensive Light Environment DesignThe Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center’s lighting design is informed by on-site environmental assessments, regional characteristics, and Guangzhou urban planning principles. Hongyu Lighting developed a holistic strategy:

High-mast lighting ensures functional area requirements, with maintenance ease, reducing nighttime energy use by 20%.

- Key Area Lighting Planning: Optimizing illumination for major venue exteriors and leisure zones with patented LED technology, accentuating architectural outlines for a dignified ambiance.
- Landscape Art Enhancement: Adding landscape fixtures and light sculptures to plazas and lawns, boosting artistic appeal and creating new leisure hotspots for residents.
These designs stem from Hongyu Lighting’s scientific project management and quality controls, positioning the center as a core node in Guangzhou’s night-tourism economy.Hongyu Lighting’s Technical SupportFounded in 2001, Hongyu Lighting, through Guangdong Hongyu Lighting Engineering Construction Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Ruibai Light Environment Design Institute, has delivered landmarks like the Canton Tower and Guangzhou Opera House.
