The long-term sustainability partnership between LEDVANCE and Bayer 04 Leverkusen stands the real-life test. LEDVANCE and its subsidiary company loblicht committed to fully refurbish the lighting not only in the stadium itself but also in all ancillary areas across the premises. Would you have guessed that there are more than 1,000 rooms in the BayArena?

The Challenge

After the stadium lighting had been equipped with Floodlight Arena, there was more to modernize and upgrade. BayArena consists of many other indoor and outdoor areas.The customer required not only the best quality of light but a lighting that reflects the brand and image of one of Germany‘s most successfull football clubs. The many different areas within the premisis required to get tailor-made solutions from a single-source provider.

the solution

The Premium Lounge was equipped with RGB profile systems that allow easy switching of light colours via DALI. Regardless of the event, the colours can be adapted to create a specific atmosphere.

The Fan World, with its many zones, was transformed into a true fan magnet by perfectly setting the mood for an engaging shopping experience. Tracklights highlight the most-loved items on display.

The Media Center attracts most attention on matchdays, where LED inserts provide low-flicker lighting ideal for TV broadcasting. All luminaires are DALI-ready for seamless lighting control. And just between us: even the kitchens and bathrooms now feature LEDVANCE lighting. Because sustainable lighting matters in all areas – beyond pure stadium lighting.

The benefits

Exciting events in the Premium Lounge, fans shopping in the Fan World, VIP welcome zones and the Media Center – all areas now receive the maximum quality of light they require and deserve for everyday use.

The up-to-date LED lighting solutions enabled reduced power consumption as well as longer lifetimes and extended maintenance cycles.

Summary

BayArena received a comprehensive lighting upgrade across all indoor facilities, comprising more than 1,000 rooms. At the heart of the venue, often referred to by the club as “Under the Cross”, players, fans, visitors and employees now benefit from a significantly higher quality of light.

Equally important, the football club’s brand identity and the associated emotions are embedded in the RGB lighting solutions throughout the arena.

“For us, the partnership with LEDVANCE is fantastic. And this is not only because of the stadium lighting. Even more so, it is due to the more than 1,000 rooms that LEDVANCE is equipping with innovative lighting solutions. These high‑quality solutions completely change the atmosphere of the rooms. The club’s corporate colours red, black and white are now present both inside and outside the arena – simply through creative lighting solutions.”

Felix Duden, Managing Director of TecArena-Plus GmbH at Bayer 04 Leverkusen
