Impact-resistant face and trim
A protective LED mask keeps air-inflated sports balls off the diodes. Micro-grooves help perceived contrast. Perimeter trim protects edges as part of the mechanical design.

LED displays for community centres
Community centres run open gym, youth leagues, rentals, and senior programs in the same room. XL AV specifies an indoor LED wall built for that mix, with audio and control staff can actually use.
Mixed-age rec is a hard duty cycle
Open gym, youth leagues, and rentals hit the wall and still need club news, sponsor loops, and event video. A lobby TV will not last. A game-night-only scoreboard will sit unused most of the week.
XL AV specifies LUXVISION PROLUX Rugged: protective mask, impact trim, front service, fanless supplies.
Directors have to run it without a technician
Community-center staff change over rooms all day. The control path has to match that. We specify, install, commission, and train.
Onsite spare modules keep a busy rec gym from waiting on a service call for a dark cabinet.
Lighting
Rec gyms are bright for long hours. We operate PROLUX Rugged around 2,100 nits so club graphics stay readable. Lighting scenes for sport and rentals are specified when control is in the project.
Sound
Announcements and rental events need speech that works in a gym. We specify or integrate PA with the wall.
Control
Part-time and volunteer operators are common. The path has to be trainable. LUXVISION typically uses NovaStar processing. Training is at commissioning.
How we deliver the project
We start with the room: dimensions, viewing distance, how it is used, structure, power, and whether audio, lighting, and live video are in the project. Then a specification, coordination with the facilities team, installation, commissioning, and operator training. Spare modules stay on site so a failed cabinet is swapped, not left dark.
Typical uses
- Open gym
- Youth leagues
- Rental events
- Senior and community programs
PROLUX Rugged
The indoor wall
Quarter-turn metal-to-metal modules
Earlier rugged products could lose magnetic modules on a hard hit. PROLUX Rugged uses a quarter-turn metal-to-metal interlock so modules stay on the wall and still service from the front.
7-year sports-impact warranty
Current PROLUX Rugged warranty context is 7 years, including impact from air-inflated sports balls.
Full front service
Modules, cabling, and feeder access are designed from the front. That is required when a gym display is mounted tight to a wall with no rear aisle.
Fanless thermal design
Gyms collect dust. Fans ingest that dust and then fail. PROLUX Rugged uses the cabinet as a heat sink with Mean Well supplies. There is no cooling fan in the documented architecture.
Under-driven, efficient LEDs
Pixels capable of about 3,900 nits are operated around 2,100 nits. The intent is less heat and less electrical infrastructure than driving the diodes to their maximum.

Questions
Is this a lobby TV?
No. It is an indoor gym LED wall specified for rec impact and mixed-use calendars.
Can rentals use the wall?
Yes, when control is set up so staff can hand off a simple mode. That is part of commissioning.
What size do we need?
Size follows farthest viewing distance and whether score and video share the canvas. We map that from the room.
Is it indoor only?
Yes.
