i-Pix is a new LED design and manufacturing company - with fresh ideas and attitudes, formed by the founder and core developers of the famous ‘Pixel' LED brand.

Chris Ewington and Tony Horton are joined by an innovative electronics and software approach from Chris Tolley.

Based in Manchester and Worcester, i-Pix brings new energy, imagination and horizons to the world of entertainment industry LED technology, and has just launched the first in its new range of high powered products - the Satellite.

So .... why another LED company ?

"I-Pix is definitely different" says Chris Ewington, "we have a huge collective pool of experience, knowledge and enthusiasm, and a host of innovative ideas that we want to bring to the market. We want to build on everything we learned during the four years of developing the Pixel".

i-Pix is an agile, modern, and streamlined operation that's fully in control of its own decisions, and acutely focused on good quality products and relevant R 'n' D.

i-Pix intends to be completely market led. It has already identified an untapped area of the entertainment sector needing high powered, well built, well priced fixtures and that's exactly where the i-Pix range is aimed. "As the LEDs dramatically increase in brightness so does a real hunger for developing this new technology complimenting what already exists " continues Ewington.

Satellite

The first production batch Satellites went straight out on tour with Radiohead (LD Andi Watson) and Beautiful South (LD Dave Byars) ..... Indicating a real confidence in the product.

Satellite is a 42 Watt RGB self-contained LED wash fixture with power and data daisy-chaining ability, and the potential of running up to 60 fixtures off a single 16 Amp feed. 

Features setting the fixture apart include ultra smooth dimmer response, an easy-to-read LCD user interface and easy address and set up.  Users can also utilise the onboard software to create their own internal chase sequences when used in stand alone mode. Accessories include rigging hardware and easy clip on beam adjusters making the ‘satellite' a very versatile, ‘hirable', engineer friendly led fixture.  

The i-Pix Satellite offers lighting designers a new fixture that is quick to rig with a punchy, capable light output which produces very little heat and helps in reducing energy consumption.
