IVL Dice by Minuit Une : Immersive Volumetric Lighting
The IVL Dice by Minuit Une is a compact professional lighting fixture designed to create highly immersive volumetric effects with a remarkably small footprint.
Unlike a conventional moving head, the IVL Dice structures the space itself. Its four independently controlled light planes generate beams, geometric shapes, movement and colour around the artist and the audience, making it especially effective for clubs, concert venues, festivals, live productions, TV sets, corporate events and immersive installations. Minuit Une describes the IVL Dice as a new scale for volumetric lighting, combining extensive spatial coverage with a compact 38 cm housing.
XLR is the official and exclusive Minuit Une distributor for Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, providing local product expertise, demonstrations, project support and access to the Minuit Une IVL range throughout the Benelux.

A Different Approach to Stage Lighting
The IVL Dice is designed around the idea that one fixture can influence a much larger volume of space than its physical dimensions suggest.
Instead of simply projecting a beam from one point to another, the fixture produces four independent planes of light. Each plane can be controlled individually, allowing lighting designers to create constantly evolving graphical and architectural effects.
The result is a distinctive visual language: sharp beams, moving planes, tunnels, fans, geometric structures and enveloping effects that can surround performers and audiences.
This makes the IVL Dice particularly interesting for designers looking for an alternative to traditional moving lights and conventional beam fixtures.
Compact Fixture, Extensive Coverage
One of the main strengths of the Minuit Une IVL Dice is its combination of compact dimensions and wide coverage.
The fixture measures approximately 38 cm across, weighs just over 10 kg and consumes a maximum of 200 W. Despite that compact format, its optical system is capable of distributing light over a very large area.
This makes it possible to install multiple IVL Dice fixtures throughout a venue without requiring the amount of trussing, weight or space normally associated with larger lighting systems.
Whether installed above a dance floor, around a stage or distributed throughout a room, several IVL Dice fixtures can work together to transform the entire environment.
From 1 to 256 Beams
The IVL Dice uses Minuit Une's electronic beam-control concept to offer a particularly wide creative range.
Depending on the programming, the fixture can generate anything from a single beam up to 256 beams, controlled through an intuitive electronic gobo system. Designers can adjust parameters such as beam quantity, width, positioning and rotation.
Nine electronic gobos are available, opening the door to very different visual structures without requiring physical gobos or additional optical components.
Combined with independent RGB and dimmer control for each section, this provides a large number of creative possibilities from a relatively compact DMX footprint.
Designed for Immersive Lighting
The real strength of IVL technology becomes especially apparent when several fixtures are deployed together.
Minuit Une specifically designed the IVL concept around volumetric and immersive lighting. Instead of placing all fixtures on a traditional front or rear truss, designers can distribute IVL Dice units throughout the venue and use them to surround the audience with light.
This creates a strong sense of depth.
Light is no longer perceived only as something coming from the stage. It becomes part of the architecture of the room and can visually connect the stage, the performer and the audience.
For clubs, electronic music events and experiential productions in particular, this provides a completely different creative tool.
Ideal for Small and Medium-Sized Venues
Because of its size and weight, the IVL Dice is particularly well suited to environments where space is limited.
Minuit Une positions the fixture as a solution capable of creating the visual impact of a much larger lighting setup without requiring extensive structure or large numbers of conventional fixtures.
A good example is a compact club concept presented by Minuit Une using eight IVL Dice and one IVL Photon. The entire system weighs less than 90 kg and requires less than one DMX universe, while creating an immersive installation throughout the space.
For rental companies and venues, that combination of visual impact, compactness and relatively simple infrastructure can be particularly valuable.
IVL Dice and IVL Photon
The IVL Dice can be used independently or combined with other fixtures from the Minuit Une IVL family, including the IVL Photon.
Using both products allows designers to create larger visual compositions with complementary scales and effects.
Minuit Une regularly demonstrates installations combining IVL Dice and IVL Photon, from compact club environments to large-stage designs and fashion shows.
This makes the IVL ecosystem particularly scalable: a concept developed for a smaller venue can be expanded for larger productions by increasing the number and combination of IVL fixtures.
Experience the IVL Dice
The IVL Dice is difficult to appreciate from specifications alone.
Its main advantage is the way it transforms physical space through light: one compact fixture can generate a surprisingly large and dynamic visual environment, while multiple fixtures can create a truly immersive installation.
For lighting designers looking for something beyond the traditional moving-light vocabulary, the Minuit Une IVL Dice offers a distinctive creative approach to professional lighting.
