Nilton Santos Stadium, home of Botafogo, revolutionizes lighting in a record time of 60 days.

Botafogo’s Nilton Santos Stadium Achieves Lighting Revolution in a Record 60 Days

In June 2024, Botafogo’s Nilton Santos Stadium underwent a full lighting transformation, completed in a record time of just 60 days.

The Nilton Santos Arena, which previously relied on as few as 45 floodlights, now boasts 276 Silicon Coliseo PRO 960W floodlights, fully compliant with Conmebol regulations. The upgrade not only delivers more efficient illumination but also significantly reduces energy consumption and maintenance requirements, thanks to a 13-year lifespan and Flicker Free technology, essential for sports broadcasting. The new system achieves the 1300 vertical lux mandated by Conmebol, modernizing the stadium and enabling it to host a wide variety of events.

Automation in Action: Spectacular Light Shows for Fans

Beyond enhancing brightness, the project prioritized the fan experience. Using five timecodes, Silicon synchronized the stadium lights with music, creating unforgettable spectacles that electrify the crowd. DMX technology and the GrandMA2 system enabled highly synchronized light shows, transforming any match or event into a true celebration. Today, Nilton Santos Stadium can host world-class artists and sophisticated light shows, generating additional revenue for the club.

First Match After Modernization: Lighting the Field

The official inauguration took place on June 19th, during Botafogo vs. Athletico Paranaense in the Brasileirão. Fans actively participated in the light show, celebrating this new entertainment feature and marking a new chapter in the history of "O Glorioso." Online reactions were overwhelmingly positive, highlighting Botafogo's leap forward with modern lighting.

Breaking the Clock: Completing a Lighting Revolution in 60 Days

Completed in only sixty days, the project represents a true milestone for the stadium. Interestingly, the inaugural match was against Athletico Paranaense, the same opponent from a blackout caused by the old lighting on October 21, 2023 — a symbolic full-circle moment for the "Estrela Solitária" (Lone Star).

The project was delivered at record speed thanks to the unwavering dedication of our Production and Engineering Teams, who combined precision with efficiency to ensure that both the Brasileirão schedule and the club’s calendar proceeded without disruption. Comprehensive pre-project testing of all floodlights further guaranteed a smooth execution, minimizing risks and providing the Club’s administration with complete confidence and peace of mind.
