LED Lights
Millwall
Football Club
MaxAmaze completed a high-profile project at The Den, home of Millwall Football Club in London, UK. Tasked with upgrading the stadium’s outdated lighting system, MaxAmaze installed cutting-edge LED technology to enhance the illumination of the football field and stands. The project was executed with precision, delivering a sustainable and visually striking solution that met stringent performance standards and improved the overall fan experience.

80 dimmable
LED flood lights
The project involved the installation of 80 dimmable LED flood lights to illuminate the football field and 40 LED stand lights to ensure optimal visibility for spectators. These modern fixtures replaced the aging high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps previously in use, drastically improving both lighting quality and energy efficiency.

Key technical
features
- Precision Lighting Performance: the LED flood lights provide an average of 900 lux across the playing surface, ensuring consistent, high-quality illumination that meets and exceeds The Championship standards.
- Dimming and Light Show Capabilities: the dimmable nature of the LED flood lights allows for customizable light levels and dynamic light shows. Using a dedicated app, stadium operators can control a range of preset effects to enhance pre-match build-ups, goal celebrations, and post-match events.

Energy Efficiency
and Sustainability
One of the most notable outcomes of this project was the significant reduction in energy consumption:
- The previous lighting system required 320 kW of power to operate. The newly installed LED system consumes just 120 kW, representing a 62% reduction in energy usage.
- This substantial improvement in energy efficiency not only reduces operating costs but also supports Millwall’s commitment to sustainability and environmentally conscious operations.


Rapid
Installation
Time was of the essence for this project. MaxAmaze successfully completed the entire installation within a tight one-week window, carefully planned between two scheduled football matches. This rapid turnaround ensured zero disruption to Millwall’s fixtures and fan engagement.

Enhanced
fan Experience
Beyond the technical and environmental benefits, the new lighting system has elevated the fan experience at The Den. Spectators now enjoy clearer, more vibrant views of the on-pitch action, while the dynamic light show capabilities add excitement to matchday events. The improved ambiance contributes to a more immersive and enjoyable atmosphere for fans, players, and broadcasters alike.


MaxAmaze’s successful lighting upgrade at The Den stands as a benchmark for sports lighting innovation. By delivering superior illumination, energy savings, and a dramatically enhanced matchday experience, MaxAmaze has set a new standard for stadium lighting in professional football. This project demonstrates MaxAmaze’s capability to execute complex, time-sensitive installations while achieving outstanding technical and operational outcomes.
