Lighting plays a crucial role in the atmosphere of live events – from clubs and theatres to large stage shows. But how can lighting design become more intense, more energy-efficient and more immersive? Minuit Une, a pioneer in innovative lighting solutions, is setting new standards with IVL technology. Minuit Une is returning to Prolight + Sound this year as an exhibitor to present the latest developments in the IVL series.
Minuit Une: “Immersive lighting is poised to become a cornerstone of live events”
In an interview with us, Denis Yachmenyov, User Experience Manager at Minuit Une, provides exciting insights into the advantages of IVL technology compared to conventional stage lights, the sustainable approach of the “Green Deal” and the growing importance of immersive lighting concepts. Minuit Une also reveals how its compact and versatile luminaires enable small to medium-sized venues to realise impressive lighting scenarios with minimal energy consumption.
How does the IVL range differ from traditional stage lighting, and what are its main advantages?

The IVL range, developed and patented by Minuit Une, is engineered specifically for small to mid-sized venues. Unlike traditional moving head beams that emit focused, directional light, IVL fixtures produce wide, homogeneous light fields that envelop the entire space. This multi-directional approach creates dynamic and expansive lighting experiences without the need for numerous fixtures
You emphasize energy efficiency with the “Green Deal” initiative. Can you elaborate on how Minuit Une is contributing to more sustainable lighting solutions?
Minuit Une’s “Green Deal” reflects a dual commitment to energy efficiency through both corporate culture and the solutions they develop. Internally, we adopt practices that reduce energy consumption: remote process for training, service, and programming, recycled plastic being used in our products, accessbility by public transportation. Our IVL technology is designed to deliver impactful light shows with fewer fixtures, thereby consuming less power and promoting sustainability in lighting design.
What trends do you currently see in the professional lighting industry, and how is Minuit Une adapting to them?

The professional lighting industry is increasingly focusing on immersive experiences, energy efficiency, and versatility. Minuit Une addresses these trends by offering IVL fixtures that create enveloping light environments, are designed for small to mid-sized venues, and prioritize energy-efficient performance.
Many venues and productions are looking for compact, versatile lighting solutions. How does Minuit Une meet these needs?
Minuit Une’s IVL fixtures are compact yet very impactful, especially for emotions and experience, making them ideal for venues with limited space. Their design allows for easy integration into various setups, providing versatile lighting solutions that can adapt to different event requirements without compromising on impact.
How do you see the role of immersive lighting evolving in the coming years?
Immersion is now the main focus of Sound System Brand. Lighting will follow the same way. Immersive lighting is poised to become a cornerstone of live events, enhancing audience engagement by creating enveloping environments. As technology advances, tools like Minuit Une’s IVL fixtures will enable more venues to deliver these experiences efficiently, regardless of size, setting a new standard for audience immersion.
