Allianz Arena is one of the most recognizable football stadiums in the world, renowned for its innovative architecture and advanced lighting design. Located in Munich, Germany, the stadium serves as the home ground of FC Bayern Munich, Germany’s most successful football club.
Since its opening in 2005, Allianz Arena has become a global reference for modern stadium construction, combining engineering excellence, fan-centric design, and sustainable technology.
Designed by the Swiss architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron, Allianz Arena is famous for its unique ETFE plastic façade, consisting of approximately 2,874 air-filled panels.
Exterior façade capable of full-color illumination
Dynamic lighting effects reflecting club identity and events
Aerodynamic structure with high durability and low maintenance
Distinctive oval “inflatable” design, visible from kilometers away
The illuminated façade has become an iconic element of Munich’s skyline and a symbol of contemporary sports architecture.
Construction of Allianz Arena began in 2002 as part of Germany’s preparation for hosting major international football tournaments.
2005: Official inauguration with opening matches
2006: One of the main venues of the FIFA World Cup
2015: Sole tenancy by FC Bayern Munich

Allianz Arena represents the future of football stadiums—where architecture, technology, and fan experience converge. From hosting World Cup opening matches to showcasing advanced lighting innovation, it continues to set international standards for elite sports venues.
For global stadium developers and infrastructure partners, Allianz Arena remains a prime example of sustainable, high-performance, and visually iconic stadium design.
With the growing popularity of nighttime sports events, professional competitions demand higher lighting quality. The glare from traditional fixtures can no longer meet athletes’ expectations for sensory experience. Leveraging breakthroughs in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise light control and anti-glare designs enable athletes to perform at their peak and enjoy an exceptional sports experience.
Issues caused by unnecessary nighttime lighting, such as light pollution and light trespass, are increasingly concerning and have led to rising public complaints. Amid growing environmental awareness, lighting designers must prioritize controlling “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” We are committed to addressing this challenge through innovative optical technologies.
Currently common traditional stadium lights model for some international stadiums as below:
MVF406/1800W, HNF003, MVF401, MVF403, MVF024, EF-2000, YOA56305, YOAX56400, 2kW: HQI-TS 2000WDS, 2kW: HQI-TS 1000WDS, MHN-SA 2KW 400V/956, MHN-SB/HO 2KW 400V/956, LPW2000M/D, LPW1000MB/L, LPP2000MHN-SA, LPP2000MHN-SB.
There is big problem that traditional lamps can not cannot meet the needs of 4K and 8K high-definition broadcast and huge energy consumption.
With the strengthening of environmental lighting awareness and the pursuit of high-quality lighting, there is a trend to replace traditional lamps by high quality of LED Stadium Lights.
MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:
MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.
Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.
1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology
The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.
Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.
In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.
MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:
Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.
Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.
Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.
Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
