Walsall
Ninja Warrior UK
High energy, high octane, thrill-seeking fun was the Harled lighting brief for the new Ninja Warrior venue in Walsall.
The 22,000 sq.ft. indoor facility at Crown Wharf Retail Park features amazing indoor obstacles to climb, balance, jump and swing across, as well as the famous warped wall, the new mount Sasuke climb and an inflatable course complete with tunnels, battle towers and the ultimate airpark obstacle run to race through.
Lead designers from the Harled team worked closely with the Ninja Warrior architects, to create the ultimate high energy experience through a ‘fast and furious’ illumination. Opting for a range of bold primary colours, digital LED tape was included across the vast site, creating dynamic shapes across the floors, walls and ceiling, as well as providing stand out definition to specific areas.
Ambient lighting was designed to capture specific moods, with the centre built to hold appeal for both children and adults. Thousands of metres of chasing LED’s were added throughout, with 15 million colours to choose from. Across the celling saw a series of hanging two metre colour changing digital tubes. The entire system was managed by a sophisticated online operating system, allowing technicians to update and change the bold illuminations, that included lighting motivated by music tempo.
A collaborative approach between the client, electrical contractor and Harled was forged from the outset, who together created the ultimate dynamic lighting system for this unique family adventure centre.
"
What The Client Said.
"Harled managed to respond to brief perfectly. Lighting was critical for us and helps us create the fast paced, energetic, exciting ambience that formed part of the Ninja Warrior experience.
We are able to control every element of lighting in each unique area individually, adding movement through colour, speed, light and movement – an exceptional job from the Harled team."
