Newcastle United Foundation has opened a dedicated esports training facility in Newcastle city centre, designed to support qualification-based courses, live gameplay sessions, and community gaming events as part of its wider digital education programme.
The installation was delivered in collaboration with Centerprise International and Yoyotech, combining custom PC workstations, AV systems, integrated RGB lighting, and classroom layouts. Ultra LEDs supplied the RGB lighting system used throughout the facility.
Centerprise International led the full lighting installation and required an RGB solution to enhance the esports environment.
They selected Ultra LEDs’ Vertical 13 RGB Neon Flex to provide dot-free lighting accents across desks, workstation edges, and integrated signage features.
Located within a new £8 million hub in central Newcastle, the esports arena has been designed to engage young people and aspiring players with hands-on access to digital media, competitive gaming, and the wider entertainment industry.
The facility supports structured esports qualifications, digital media courses, and live gameplay events, bridging formal learning with real-time competitive experience.
Yoyotech partnered with Newcastle United Foundation to deliver the full technical design and integration of the arena, joining the project shortly after their involvement at Bett Global. The team managed layout planning, PC hardware specification, AV integration, and room security systems in collaboration with Centerprise International.
Centerprise required a seamless RGB lighting system to complement the gaming environment and specified Ultra LEDs’ Vertical 13 RGB Neon Flex for its flexible installation profile and continuous, dot-free output.
The lighting needed to be integrated across multiple zones in the esports facility, from enhancing the gaming desks to signage, workstation edges, around the desks, and ceiling neon installs.
Ultra LEDs’ Vertical 13 RGB Neon Flex (13x12mm, 24V, IP67) was selected for its flexibility, dot-free output, and RGB capability.
The system was installed with Tagra Zigbee LED Controllers, supporting wireless RGB+CCT adjustment via the Tuya Smart App.
This enabled full control over brightness, colour temperature, scene editing, delay functions, and multi-zone synchronisation, allowing lighting to align with specific games, teaching modes, or display requirements.
Alongside our collaboration with Centerprise, Ultra LEDs has delivered installations across retail, broadcast, entertainment, and civic placemaking. Explore more recent projects below:
