Our internal resolutions:
At Minuit Une, looking for new solutions is in our DNA.
Responsible working methods
Minuit Une is committed to a continuous approach aiming at limiting the energy and environmental impact of its activity. As other lighting manufacturers, Minuit Une works with a network of partners and customers worldwide.
Transportation represents 30% of the world’s total power consumption. Minuit Une pays attention to the elimination of non-essential transportation.
Since July 2019, Minuit Une is the first stage lighting manufacturer offering a remote training service, the most immersive training service in the industry. By allowing its clients and users to get trained by taking control of the IVL Showroom remotely, from home, this service innovation allows a drastic decrease in the need for transport for its team, but also offers a high-quality service: no need to travel, everyone can access it from a computer, at the time of their choice.
Minuit Une is since in a constant development to act remotely by extending the reduction of transport and improvement of services to the sales and after-sales teams. The Minuit Une showroom is also fully equipped to ensure the best understanding of our products through live stream online demos:
– multi-camera system
– Several moving heads for output comparison
– several DMX consoles to choose from.
Minuit Une is encouraging taking public transportation and car-sharing for its employees and favoring home office as much as possible. Minuit Une is convinced that working from home is a tool to reduce the use of transport, while improving the team’s living conditions.
On the manufacturing side, Minuit Une chose to assemble its products in France, with a French partner who meets the highest qualitative standards. Our products are designed to be long-lasting, easy to repair, easy to recycle and with a lifespan well above the average in this industry. This way, Minuit Une made the choice to develop versatile products instead of accumulating references.
Finally, internally, we pay attention to waste management and eco-friendly choices.
A R&D philosophy of increasing light show efficiency
The heart of our expertise comes from a patent portfolio allowing the conception of wide-covering effects lighting fixtures.
All our products have a far greater coverage capacity from a single source than classic lighting fixtures, which allows the use of fewer units for the production of spectacular light shows, hence reduce the global energetic consumption.
Our products offer the best ratio experience over logistics
With Minuit Une’s light, audience amazed, logistics saved: make a difference.
Until today, the main way to deliver memorable experiences, perspectives, and immersion was to use plenty of lighting fixtures, very often more than 50 or 100 even in mid-sized venues, requiring very quickly more than 3 trucks for transport.
One of the most efficient ways to really reduce the carbon footprint of a show is to reduce the consumption of each fixture but also to reduce the transport: having fewer logistics by reducing the number of lighting fixtures being used.
First designed for mid-sized venues, multidirectional, very versatile, and consuming less than 200W by unit, our products are providing unforgettable immersive experiences starting with 2, 4, or 6 units only, requiring just one flight case for transport.
A lighting design based on Minuit Une lighting products allows:
- less fixtures
- less energy consumption
- less logistics
- less weight and volume to carry
Picture: 6 IVL products covering the full stage – 750 W consumption only.
Case study : a matrix of lighting fixtures is a very common lighting design. Let’s compare a matrix of IVL and a matrix of LEDs fixture, both calibrated for 1000-2000 people venues.
