Portarlington Tennis Club
The Portarlington Tennis Club is located on the Bellarine Peninsula in the Surf Coast Shire. The club is located right by the beach and has a special place in the local community. When upgrading their lights, Surf Coast Shire initially considered installing a 1000W Metal Halide lighting system until we suggested installing our HAWKeye 500W LED lighting system.
By installing HAWKeye, we were able to double the amount of lighting the tennis courts received whilst reducing operating costs by 50%.
