Founded in Manchester in 2006 by Chris Ewington, former co-founder of PixelRange, i-Pix’s design & engineering team have over 100 years of expertise in the lighting industries and operate from a purpose-built facility in Stockport, UK. I-Pix has a dedicated R&D facility, a state-of-the-art demonstration suite and manufacture in-house to robust high-quality build standards.
Context
Radiohead’s lighting designer recently chose to pioneer a completely bulb-free LED lighting and video rig which toured the world for 18 months culminating in their headline slot at Reading Festival. A two thirds reduction in power was achieved and the solid-state nature of the design meant that the lighting crew faced minimal maintenance workload.
Many lighting designers and hire companies are realizing the benefits of LED technology. i-Pix has positioned itself to help accelerate converging technologies for both video and lighting. Using the BB series (building block) the latest BB 1 fixture completes this fixture family with a crossover installation and touring product, high power in nature, with second generation bi-directional technology. Our fixtures offer designers a flexible intelligent colour changing light source for illumination or a pixel tessellated for helping create the ‘big picture’ i-Pix have quickly become recognized for,
With substantial investment into the LED and optical aspects of their product portfolio, i-Pix is the first company to offer a complete product family with homogenized optics. This USP has enabled i-Pix to differentiate itself against cheap alternatives.
With a strong R&D foundation, i-Pix are now developing a second generation white light fixture range which will be launched in early 2010 setting new standards in optical performance and new market opportunities for their white light division.
