Duvon™ engineered a court LED system that lives inside Lafayette's outdoor lighting ordinance — three courts of full club-tournament visibility with verified sub-0.07-fc residential spill.
Lafayette Tennis Club is bordered by a residential street on two sides and a wooded ridge on the third, leaving little room for stray light. Our brief was to bring three courts up to club-tournament visibility while staying inside Lafayette's restrictive outdoor lighting ordinance.
The design uses ProCourt 400W luminaires with project-tuned house-side shields and a clean 5000K daylight spectrum for sharp ball-against-court contrast. Mounting heights were reused on existing poles to avoid a planning re-permit.
Field measurements confirmed 45-fc maintained average, 1.3:1 uniformity, and perimeter spill under 0.07 fc on the residential side. The new system has eliminated the previous warm-up delay and reduced operating energy by approximately 60%.
