The intention for the lighting design was to articulate the architecture and allow the stadium itself to become part of events; we wanted the stadium to have a unified visual expression – the video, lights and sports lights all sync to serve the moment.

Perth Stadium is an award-winning 60,000 seat venue designed to put fans first. The highest level of integration and co-ordination between technical elements was desired, as was a greater level of capability and expressiveness in content.
We installed CORE for multi-surface control of all creative lighting at the stadium. We mapped an unprecedented amount of fixtures and even managed to include the LED Sports Lighting system in the content map. We integrated with the venue's video playback system to create an incredibly responsive encompassing visual experience for sporting events, concerts and special events.
As a highly visible part of Perth’s skyline, CORE is used 365 days a year to dynamically illuminate the stadium.
At the time of commissioning it was one of the largest pixel mapped buildings in the world. Features include a striking halo with 634 powerful lensed wash fixtures, 891 individually dimmable LED sports lights, 85,000 pixels worth of linear fixtures around the entire facade, and a sculptural walkway illuminated by 672 coloured and white spotlights.
