About F1 Arcade, Washington, DC:
F1 Arcade isn’t your typical venue—it’s a blend of motorsport adrenaline and high-end hospitality. Walking in feels like stepping onto a track mid-race. The experience had to be fast, bold, and immersive—and the lighting needed to drive that narrative.
Project Details:
They needed modular lighting that could match the intensity of the racing world while being practical enough for tight installation timelines. Our challenge? Make it exciting, make it flexible, and make it install fast—without losing an ounce of visual punch.
Collaboration and Customization:
We partnered up with Villa Lighting, Anamo Design Studio out of London, and the F1 Arcade crew to make this happen. The back-and-forth across time zones, design revisions, and shifting install demands required real coordination. Everyone stayed focused on one thing: make the space unforgettable.
Bespoke Lighting Solutions:
Our internal team engineered custom RGBW fixtures with DMX control and chase sequences to simulate racetrack movement. These weren’t off-the-shelf. We shaped them to reflect the curves and energy of Formula 1 circuits. Every fixture plays a role in how the space moves—literally.
Quality and Performance:
Built with longevity in mind. These fixtures are as rugged as they are sleek. We designed them for simple maintenance, smart retrofitting, and scalable expansion down the road. If F1 Arcade wants to roll out ten more locations, we’re already set up for that.
Recognition:
This one got noticed. The modular lighting system we built won Best Modular Product Design at the 2025 Netty Awards. That’s not just a pat on the back—it’s validation that we’re building at the top of our game, blending engineering with visual storytelling.
Impact:
What we delivered went way beyond “lights on the ceiling.” It became part of the experience—fluid, fast, bold. It redefined what people expect when they walk into a high-energy entertainment space. That’s the kind of benchmark we aim for on every job.
