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 Freedom 500W heads with -40 °F cold-rated drivers and a hydrophobic lens coating that sheds frost and ice between matches. The same Freedom platform serves both the tennis and paddle surfaces — single SKU, single replacement part — keeping capital cost in line.

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.
