Soho, one of Liverpool’s busiest nightlife venues, sits at the heart of Concert Square and is known for its house music events and themed nights.
2025, the club carried out a full lighting refurbishment covering the entrance, function room, bar, and main club. The old sound-to-light moving heads were taken out and replaced with a new scheme built around an 80s-style pastel palette, echoing the Stranger Things aesthetic.
The entrance installation combined Ultra LED’s Pro Horizontal 12 LED Neon Flex in RGBW and smart fixtures, all programmed through DMX and ArtNet control.
The result replaced the old moving head setup with a synchronised neon system that delivered both vibrant colour-changing effects and a static 3000K warm white.
An iconic club in the centre of Liverpool’s nightlife, Soho required a refurbishment to refresh the lighting after many years of outdated fixtures. The owner approached designer James Grenside to design a new system that would modernise the space and set the tone for the rest of the venue.
This entrance became the starting point for a wider scheme that would later extend across the main room, bringing lighting more in line with Soho’s atmosphere as one of the city’s busiest late-night venues.
James required 30 metres of our Pro Horizontal 12 LED Neon Flex RGBW. The system was programmed to run vibrant 80’s-style pastel sequences as well as a static 3000K warm white.
To support the Neon Flex, 21 metres of aluminium mounting track were fixed in place, with end cap kits sealing and protecting connections. Control and power were distributed using five-core low voltage cable, linking into a DMX network powered by LTECH DMX decoders.
Programming was carried out through ArtNet, with a custom-built interface linking the Neon Flex to Zigbee smart bulbs. This allowed both fixture types to run under the same software, giving Soho unified control across the scheme.
Following the success of the entrance, Soho asked for the design to be extended across the main room.
More of the Pro Horizontal 12 Neon Flex was installed along the girders and between booth seating, expanding the pastel-inspired colour sequences throughout the space.
Additional Neon Flex was also installed beneath the bar and behind the booths to wash the brickwork. The existing moving heads were retained but connected into the DMX network, synchronising with the smart bulbs.
