Description

An output for each moment
- Deep perspectives for unforgettable immersive moments.
- Decor highlight for transitional moments.
- A creative punch for brightest moments
- Each output is endlessly customizable thanks to the infinite range of possibilities offered by the DMX control: a depth of looks and experiences never reached before, from classic to modern to outstanding.

Goes with any kind of event
- An easily incorporated design to deliver versatility in any show: music show, corporate event, aftershow, conference, club, broadcast, and many more.
- Lightweight (16kg, 35lbs), compact (48cm), low power consumption (200W).
- An adjustable handle for a quick set-up in any position.
- An excellent RGB colorimetry

A standard programming and daily use.
- An intuitive control, accessible to any lighting operator without training.
- 60 DMX channels offering control over 9 gobos, the dimmer & RGB for each of the 8 tilts, a zoom to activate the moving core and an electronic shutter. Go to the DMX section for a complete overview of the possibilities.
- A modular conception for low maintenance, fast repairs, and an extensive lifespan.
- Classified as Class 3R, IVL Photon is a laser-based lighting as safe as LED: it can be used in unsupervised areas according to the international standard (IEC 60825-3), without permit or specific training, and also variance-free in the USA.

Cost-effective and sustainable
- For lighting designers, producers and event makers, a design based on IVL is a cost-effective, sustainable, and spectacular solution. Less fixtures needed, less logistics, less transport, and less power consumption: a real commitment for a lower carbon footprint.
- For rental companies, a return on investment for many years: a pack of 6 IVL Photon can be deployed in many events on a weekly basis, offering a higher satisfaction to customers for a reasonable price.
Our vision:
- Most of the lighting fixtures are not used to properly light someone or something, but to produce an experience, with decor, perspectives & immersion.
- Considering the fact that today’s lighting fixtures are mostly mono-directional, it requires a certain number of fixtures and structures to answer the audience’s expectations. If an arena show has the budget, time, and space for that, it is usually much more constrained in mid-sized venues.
- In a mid-sized venue, the starting pack of luminaires is usually composed of only a few luminaires to actually light the artist and/or stage/or venue, as can be seen on the picture on the right.
Then comes the lighting fixtures dedicated to “making the show” and telling the story of the spectacle or event. - For this part, IVL Photon is a much more efficient solution than any other luminaire, requiring much fewer fixtures, lower logistics requirements, no structures needed, consumption, transport, and therefore, carbon footprint. You can make the show with one or two flight cases!
Choosing IVL instead of less-versatile luminaires it’s:
- Bringing the extraordinary even with constrained means and logistics
- Saving on all the extra-costs: time, weight and volume of transport, maintenance, power consumption, etc
- A real commitment to lower carbon footprint in live shows

How does it work?
- – The failed-safe 360° scanning system, ensuring a constant very high frequency of rotation (>330Hz), produced a 360° light plan from the center to the 8 tilts.– The 8 surrounding tilts split the light into 8 independent light plans adjustable at 180° with 2 sides by tilt: mirror side and frost side. Thanks to advanced motorization, the tilts are extremely reactive, while extremely smooth at very low speed.– The moving core is the circular frosted reflector, located in the center of the product, that goes in and out, just like a zoom. A breakthrough innovation specially developed by Minuit Une for the IVL Photon.
They have seen the IVL Photon live
- “If I have to work with a low budget, I would base my entire show on the IVL Photon without any hesitation”
Antoine Jolivaldt, lighting designer. - “Very impressed by its capacity to create many classic looks as well as breathtaking experiences”
Philippe Audibert, PPCM technical director - “Compact by its size, extended by its potential. To all LDs: you must see it”
Remy Nicollet, lighting designer - “A very good presence, the perfect fixture to change from the usual moving heads, blinders or strobes”
Quang-Tien Nguyen, lighting designer - “Instantly seduced by the design of the fixture. I already project myself using this luminaire to tell a creative, evolving, and surprising lighting story during the whole duration of a show”
Olivier Germain, lighting designer - ” We were expecting something with a wow factor at least as impressing as with the IVL Square, and we got it. This device is filled with innovations, possibilities and is cohesive with the IVL Square in my inventory”
Benjamin Sinnassamy, Defacto, rental company. - “A self-sufficient luminaire in smaller venues. I had the incredible feeling of being in front of artificial intelligence capable of emulating different kinds of luminaires with extreme versatility”
Renaud Garnier Bouilly, lighting designer
