Personally, I like the lighting setup they used for the 2016 series. I find that the use of red gives the arena a more sinister atmosphere and pays a nice homage to Series 1, while the strobes and countdown/pit lighting sequences make it just as dramatic and atmosphere-enhancing as the live events. Sure, brighter whites would make it much clearer to see what's going on in the arena, but other than that I can't find much fault with the 2016 lighting setup IMO.
