Amsterdam ArenA, home stadium of the famous football club Ajax Amsterdam, is the largest stadium in the Netherlands, holding over 53,000 seats. In 2013, the Amsterdam ArenA unveiled new high-tech conference rooms, which are available to rent for private events. The goal was to create a dynamic lighting solution with individually controllable luminaries in the newly constructed corridors, business lounges, conference rooms, atrium, and entrance. Interior designer Piet Boon developed a concept where the end user could create different environments for different purposes in an easy and flexible way, and adjust the color temperature to every desired atmosphere. Through its lighting partner and expert Dutch Light Pro, Traxon Technologies offered a custom-made dynamic white Nano Liner with 12 LEDs, next to the ‘standard’ 27 LED solution. Additionally, complex programming with a multi-functional e:cue ActionPad was integrated. The programming software was implemented to run on the arena’s own virtual server and existing network to meet the customer’s IT requirements. The lighting in each room is controlled individually through various presets, and multiple Glass Touches and Tablet PCs are installed using the same structure throughout the building, allowing all controls to be easily accessible. Traxon & e:cue straightforward installation and system is highly valued by the customer and designer, and gives a modern and sophisticated look to the new conference rooms of the Amsterdam ArenA.
