Claremont McKenna College — Pickleball Lighting


Duvon™ right-sized the campus pickleball footprint with court-level dimming integrated into the campus BMS — under-utilised zones drop to ambient, active surfaces hold IFP-grade output.

Claremont McKenna's intramural programme has shifted toward pickleball, and the existing recreational lighting was both under-spec for the sport's faster lateral play and wastefully over-spec for adjacent under-used surfaces.

Duvon's specification right-sized the system: ProCourt 400W heads for the active pickleball footprints, with under-utilised adjacent zones dropped to a perimeter ambient lighting level. A scheduled control profile keeps the courts on intramural-night settings without a venue manager touching the controls.

Students play under 45-fc maintained light at a verified 1.2:1 uniformity, with court-level dimming integrated into the campus facilities BMS.
