Musco Lighting based in Iowa, USA, introduced its new installation for Aviva Stadium, which creates new entertainment experience for athletes, performers and fans coming to the venue for games and shows.

The Aviva Stadium is a sports stadium located in Dublin, Ireland, with a capacity for 51,700 spectators. The stadium serves as home to the Irish rugby team and the Republic of Ireland football team.

The newly-installed system includes 52 color-changing, red-green-blue-white (RGBW) LED fixtures strategically located throughout the stadium’s bowl to illuminate the roof structure. Additionally, bracketing and cabling for two dozen spotlight mounting locations were installed, which will allow for temporary, moving spotlights to be added on an as-needed basis.

The RGBW fixtures and infrastructure for the moving spotlights were supplied by Musco Lighting. Last summer, Musco installed its state-of-the-art LED technology as the new field-of-play lighting system at Aviva Stadium.

As with the field-of-play lighting, the new entertainment lighting was installed by McSherry Electrical and the lighting controls were designed and integrated by StadiumFX. The system is capable of delivering an exciting range of color-changing special effects scenes and light shows that also feature light-to-sound synchronization.

The new special effects system was installed in time for the 2020 Guinness Six Nations rugby championships, which are being hosted at Aviva Stadium.
