Newport Beach Tennis Club – Pro-Grade LED Retrofit


Professional LED Tennis Court Retrofit for Newport Beach Club Facilities


Duvon Lighting completed a professional LED tennis court lighting retrofit for a private tennis club in Newport Beach, California. The project upgraded outdated, high-maintenance HID fixtures to a ProCourt™ LED tennis court lighting system, improving light consistency, player visibility, and long-term operating efficiency. For club operators, the result is a more dependable night-play environment with reduced maintenance demands and lower energy use.


The retrofit was designed around the practical needs of an active tennis club—member experience, dependable evening play, and compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. Common court lighting issues such as glare, uneven coverage, and excessive spill light were addressed through careful fixture selection, aiming, and spacing. The final layout delivers balanced, edge-to-edge illumination across all courts without creating unwanted light impact beyond the facility.

The ProCourt™ Advantage: Built for Tennis, Not Floodlighting

Unlike standard floodlighting adapted from general sports use, Duvon’s ProCourt™ system is engineered specifically for tennis play. Its asymmetric optical design places light where players need it—across the court surface and within critical sightlines—while reducing glare during serves, lobs, and overhead shots.


This targeted approach improves ball visibility and visual comfort for players while giving club managers consistent, predictable lighting performance across all courts. Light spill was carefully controlled to meet dark-sky and neighborhood considerations, which are especially important for coastal California tennis facilities.

Designed for Coastal Conditions and Long-Term Club Operations

Newport Beach’s coastal environment places added demands on outdoor lighting systems. ProCourt™ fixtures feature a durable die-cast aluminum housing with IP65-rated protection, helping shield internal components from moisture, salt air, and temperature variation over time.


By converting from HID to LED, the club significantly reduced energy consumption and eliminated routine lamp and ballast replacements, lowering operating costs and minimizing service interruptions. The system is backed by Duvon Lighting’s 10-year warranty, providing club owners and facility managers long-term confidence in performance, serviceability, and total cost of ownership.
