Thorn Lighting Teams Up with Sunderland AFC for Stadium Transformation | Thorn Lighting Case Study

Описание: Thorn Lighting and Zumtobel are proud to partner with Sunderland AFC on a comprehensive lighting upgrade at the Stadium of Light—part of the club’s most significant stadium investment in over 20 years. This project supports Sunderland’s long-term sustainability goals, including becoming energy self-sufficient by 2028.

The new lighting system debuted during Sunderland’s match against Derby County and impressed again during the Leeds United fixture, delivering a world-class matchday experience for fans in the stadium and those watching on Sky Sports.

A key factor in choosing Thorn and Zumtobel was the proximity of the Spennymoor manufacturing plant, just 21 miles from the stadium. This local connection enabled rapid delivery and installation, while supporting the regional economy.

Beyond the stadium, the lighting upgrade covers the Academy of Light, Eppleton Colliery Welfare Ground, and hospitality areas such as Quinns Bar and the Montgomery Suite.

Solutions include Thorn’s Altis, used by top clubs like Boca Juniors, and Zumtobel’s SLOTLIGHT infinity, CRAFT II Performance, and LITECOM system delivering outstanding energy efficiency, lighting quality, and TV-ready performance.
