Transforming Match Day at Warrington Wolves with Dynamic Lighting Control
Warrington, United Kingdom, February 2026
Warrington Wolves’ stadium has undergone a complete lighting transformation, combining high-performance sports illumination with dynamic, programmable control to elevate the match day experience. The project brings together ’s broadcast-grade lighting system with Protopixel’s creative control platform, enabling the stadium to move beyond traditional lighting into a fully immersive visual environment.
The installation features a full LEDTURE stadium lighting upgrade, replacing legacy metal halide systems with a modern, high-output LED solution. At its core are 48 Model A 2400W floodlights, delivering over 1300 lux average across the pitch with excellent uniformity and flicker-free performance, meeting the demands of professional sport and broadcast. Alongside this, 34 RGBW luminaires have been integrated to introduce colour and flexibility across the stadium environment. This combination creates a powerful foundation, not just for visibility, but for creative expression.
To unlock the full potential of the system, Protopixel’s control platform has been implemented to enable dynamic, real-time lighting control across both the pitch and surrounding stadium environment. Through Protopixel, the lighting system can now deliver synchronised effects, transitions, and sequences that respond to key moments throughout the event. From pre-match build-up to in-game highlights and post-match celebrations, lighting becomes an active part of the fan experience rather than a static backdrop. Protopixel provides the creative control interface, while LEDTURE delivers the optical precision and DMX-ready infrastructure that enable this level of performance at scale.
Delivering this level of control within a large-scale sports venue requires more than just software. The underlying lighting system has been engineered to support DMX control natively, ensuring reliable communication, precise dimming, and consistent performance across all luminaires. This integration allows Protopixel to operate seamlessly across the entire system, enabling creative teams to design and execute lighting experiences with confidence.The result is a transformed stadium environment where lighting plays a central role in the overall atmosphere. Dynamic lighting sequences enhance key moments, build anticipation, and create a stronger emotional connection with fans. The stadium becomes not just a venue for sport, but a stage for live entertainment.
It’s been an incredible addition to the match day experience. It’s far exceeded what I imagined, it’s added to the atmosphere and ultimately the show was absolutely incredible. LEDTURE have been incredible to work with, going above and beyond and working through all hours to make sure everything was installed in time for the first game.
