Neg Earth Lights invests in 29 IVL Photon lighting fixtures from Minuit Une to add to our rental stock. 

Managing Director, Dave Ridgway, viewed the IVL Photon at PLASA earlier this year. As one of the winners of the PLASA Innovation Award 2022, the IVL Photon is already a fixture in demand.  

The Judges said that “the multitude of dazzling effects from this laser light source will bring digital fireworks to productions.”  

Boasting 3 main outputs (mirror, frost and moving core), as well as 9 gobos, dimmer and RGB control for each of the 8 mirror tilts and an electronic shutter; the IVL Photon provides freedom in creativity.  

Our team of Lighting Technicians received training at our HQ from Minuit Une shortly after PLASA, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to deliver high quality service to maintain the IVL Photon. A big thank you to the team at Minuit Une for the fantastic service and training.  

You can now find the IVL Photon on our Stock at a Glance list.

Neg Earth are thrilled to have provided additional network and control equipment from Sundrax for the UK’s largest festival, Glastonbury. Sundrax, a company that usually operates in architectural, street & city, and stage & theatre lighting, provided nodes used on the stage output racks and as a part of the front-of-house input nodes provided by Neg at Glastonbury Festival 2022.

Ciarán Markey, Senior Network Technician at Neg, provided insight into Sundrax’s nodes and their debut performance at Glastonbury 2022.

“The Sundrax systems display a good and intuitive user experience on their web interface. It supplies a suitable range of settings but keeps in mind the efficiency and streamlined workflows needed for the industry.”

He continues, “Working directly with their technical sales and development team that supported the project on a 360° basis, we suggested a few new features and workflows to ensure our clients’ satisfaction and provided new ideas to the Sundrax development path.”

“We are excited about serving one of the most important festivals in the UK with our networking nodes,” expressed Dan Kurt, Sales Engineer at Sundrax. “Since we first started our business as an engineering team, we have always taken extra care to ensure that our products are reliable and fail-safe.”

“Rack-mounted ArtGate Pro by Sundrax has been specifically designed for touring and festivals. Two EtherCon ports provide additional switch functionality, PowerCON True1 input and thru output, and POE support” he continued. “We are proud to have worked with Neg on the Glastonbury Festival this year, and we are confident that many projects will come our way in the future.”

Overall, this was an incredible experience and we look forward to seeing Sundrax’s products used in further initiatives for the live events industry.
