The beginning
The evolution
The Led
LED technology is by now clearly carving out its role also in cinema and television lighting. IANIRO did not loose this chance and devoted all its R&D ressources to this new technology. With LEDs, IANIRO name is again innovating in this industry as it did in the '50s and '60s, when the former family company created very compact  fresnel spotlights, powerful arc daylights for film and the most popular  portable lighting range in the world, still today the most imitated in our industry.

Introduced at IBC 07 and advertised on the major international press including American Cinematographer of course, the products have been awarded the TVB Europe Best of Show Editor's Award.   The first Ianiro family of LEDs lighting fixtures is ready for the distributors since the end of last year and will make their first US public appearance at NAB 08.

IANILEDs range represents a fresh concept  in the field of LED tv and film lighting, having introduced an effective, functional and adjustable system to perform high CRI values and homogeneous chromatic emission calibrated for use in recording images as we are going to explain.

The idea inspiring the design of this  first family was to offer  DOPs and cameramen powerful and controllable key light with long distance throw, rather than just a close-up soft fill light as it was generally available from the industry so far. Having in mind this priority (that matches, we believe, IANIRO product line DNA) we looked for appropriate optics suited to the high power LEDs selected combining them to a quick release device for changing them on the set whilst shooting. At the same time, thanks to the dimmer and additional diffusers if needed, the IANILEDs may help also as handy soft fill light. A true versatile system.

IANILEDs feature the last generation technology not only in the optical design but in every aspect,  including electronics for control and mechanic construction. We must remember that not all LEDs deliver the same lumen maintenance. An LED is a complex package of materials that must all work together to deliver long lifetimes. Everything from the design of the chip, thermal management, optics material, phosphors and even the assembly of the entire package will affect lumen maintenance.

That's why IANILEDs  feature advanced metal core ceramic coated PCBs and silver transmitters, improving substantially the electronic transparency, the reliability and the heat dissipation compared to the common epoxy aluminium MCPCBs. Last but not least  they feature an  innovative design that ensures an excellent conventional cooling and an eye-catching look.
