As the 2026 Sichuan Provincial Games approach, the Guang'an Olympic Sports Center Stadium—serving as the prestigious primary venue for this provincial mega-event—is set to become a striking new landmark in Southwest China. Built by top-tier national contractors to meet world-class engineering standards and World Athletics Label road race event criteria, the project represents a tier-one sports infrastructure. For this landmark, Seekway Innovations delivered a complete, high-capacity Ethernet-based intelligent lighting control solution. The system is meticulously engineered to fulfill the stringent optical environment requirements for premium event lighting and high-definition television (HDTV) broadcasting. It seamlessly transforms this modern steel-structure venue into a dynamic nighttime icon while effortlessly meeting diverse, multi-scenario operational and global-standard hosting needs.
This high-profile project highlights Seekway Innovations’ expertise in delivering robust, large-scale architectural lighting control for major public venues.
The system is engineered for flexibility. In daily and energy-saving modes, it provides functional illumination with smooth color temperature transitions, focusing on efficiency and everyday lighting requirements for the community and routine venue operations.
During major sporting events or holidays, the venue seamlessly switches to dynamic event or festive modes. The facade comes alive with brighter, more vibrant displays that create an engaging atmosphere for athletes, spectators, and visitors. These mode transitions occur smoothly without disruption, thanks to the powerful underlying control system.
At the heart of the project is Seekway Innovations’ Ethernet-Based Control System. This distributed network architecture ensures stable, high-performance control across the entire stadium facade.
The system is built with master controller as the core, paired with slave controllers, forming a proven master-slave structure compliant with TCP/IP and UDP protocols. It features self-organizing networks that deliver fast and stable responses, along with support for programming, remote control, synchronization, encryption, power management, and interactive functions. These capabilities make it especially suitable for large-scale architectural and landscape lighting projects that require both centralized management and flexible operation.
Lighting effects are programmed and optimized using Seekway’s professional LED Player software, enabling precise pixel mapping, smooth transitions, accurate color blending, and real-time responsiveness across thousands of individually addressable LED nodes.

This technology allows the creation of complex dynamic patterns, video-like playback, and fully synchronized lighting shows that enhance the architectural character of the stadium.
The Guang'an Olympic Sports Center Stadium spans an area of approximately 205,000 square meters, with a total building area of over 80,000 square meters, featuring a 20,000-seat main stadium and a 4,000-seat gymnasium.The project features a substantial large-scale facade lighting installation covering significant portions of the main stadium exterior. The system supports thousands of individually addressable LED points, forming an extensive lighting surface capable of delivering high-resolution effects visible from a wide surrounding area.
This configuration turns the stadium into a glowing landmark at night. The Ethernet-Based Control System’s distributed design excels in such large deployments by minimizing latency and ensuring perfect synchronization, even across long distances and complex building geometries. Its self-organizing network capabilities reduce single points of failure — a critical advantage for a major sports venue where reliability during opening ceremonies, award presentations, and live broadcasts is essential.
Seekway Innovations provided comprehensive end-to-end support to ensure project success:
· Detailed CAD drawings and system integration to align all technical plans precisely with the architectural and structural requirements, resolving any on-site discrepancies efficiently.
· Dedicated on-site technical team presence throughout the installation phase for real-time guidance and quality control.
Innovative drone-assisted debugging for efficient point-by-point calibration, aerial visual verification, and rapid fault detection. This modern approach significantly accelerates commissioning on large vertical surfaces while improving accuracy compared to traditional methods.
For ongoing operation and maintenance, the Ethernet-Based Control System offers user-friendly monitoring and management interfaces. Venue operators can easily switch between scenes, adjust brightness and color parameters, schedule automated operations, and perform diagnostics remotely or on-site. The system’s power management features support energy efficiency, while its robust encryption and stable network design ensure long-term reliability with minimal maintenance overhead. This operational simplicity is especially valuable for teams managing busy event calendars year-round.
With a strong track record in intelligent lighting control, Seekway Innovations offers scalable solutions tailored to sports venues, cultural landmarks, and urban developments around the world. The Ethernet-Based Control System delivers lighting that is both technically excellent and visually compelling.
