Glenview Prairie Club — Tennis & Paddle Lighting

Glenview, IL

Duvon™ delivered cold-rated tennis and platform-paddle lighting built for instant-on operation through Chicago-suburb winters down to -40 °F.

Platform paddle ("paddle tennis") is played year-round in the Chicago suburbs, often in sub-zero conditions where conventional metal-halide lamps strike slowly and cycle on cold restart. Glenview's brief required a system that performs identically in -20°F as it does in summer.

Duvon specified Patriot 200W heads with -40°F cold-rated drivers and a hydrophobic lens coating that sheds frost and ice between matches.

Players see instant-on light at any temperature, 1.3:1 uniformity on tennis and 1.4:1 on paddle, and an aggregate energy reduction of 61% across the property.
