Midtown Athletic Club


Duvon™ unified the club's outdoor and indoor tennis surfaces under a matched 5000K spectrum, eliminating the colour shift members noticed when moving between courts.

Midtown's Bannockburn campus runs a packed weekly league schedule across multiple outdoor and indoor courts. The previous outdoor heads were inconsistent in age and output, and the indoor halide system suffered from cold restrike during winter.

Duvon standardised the outdoor courts on Freedom 500W heads and replaced the indoor system with linear high-bay LEDs matched to the same 5000K spectrum, so a member moving from outdoor warm-up to indoor match play sees consistent ball appearance throughout. Indoor courts received an integrated occupancy sensor pairing with the booking platform.

Members experience uniform 50-fc outdoor and 56-fc indoor light with instant-on response, and operating energy across both systems fell 61%.
