Company Overview

GRIVEN (part of the Nordeon Group) is an Italian manufacturer that specializes almost exclusively in massive, ultra-high-end outdoor architectural illumination. When a city needs to permanently light a massive skyscraper, a historic suspension bridge, or a sprawling ancient monument with dynamic color-changing LED wash, GRIVEN is the brand specified by elite architectural lighting designers.

Their fixtures are built like military hardware. Because they are permanently installed on the sides of massive structures, they are engineered to withstand brutal winters, scorching desert heat, and extreme marine saltwater environments with absolutely zero maintenance required for decades.

While they don’t make the fast-moving laser lights for rock concerts, GRIVEN’s massive LED floodlights and sky trackers create the breathtaking external ambiance for massive global events, transforming the actual venues and city skylines into part of the visual production.

Core Technologies

🛡️

Polar Edition Winterization

Proprietary internal heating systems and specialized thermal management that allow GRIVEN fixtures to power up and operate flawlessly even when buried in snow at temperatures down to -40°C.

📐

Asymmetrical Optics

Custom-designed lenses that throw light in a highly specific, angled footprint. This allows a fixture mounted at the base of a skyscraper to perfectly wash the entire wall evenly, without wasting light into the night sky.

🌐

RDM & Wireless Infrastructure

Deep integration of RDM (Remote Device Management) and wireless DMX, allowing maintenance teams to check the temperature, voltage, and health of a fixture bolted 50 stories up a building directly from the ground.

Featured Solutions

Capital Series

Massive, high-output LED floodlights designed for large-scale architectural washing. Available in multiple beam angles and color configurations (RGBW, Dynamic White) to paint entire buildings.

Imperial Sky Tracker

A legendary, ultra-high-power xenon searchlight that shoots massive, sweeping beams of white light miles into the night sky, famously used for Hollywood premieres and massive grand openings.

Parade Series

Sleek, linear LED graze fixtures designed to be hidden along the base of walls or columns, shooting a tight curtain of colored light up the architecture to highlight textures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Asymmetrical lens?

A standard (symmetrical) lens shoots light evenly in all directions like a flashlight. An asymmetrical lens is mathematically shaped to throw more light toward the top of a building and less light toward the bottom, ensuring the entire wall looks perfectly evenly lit from base to roof.

Can GRIVEN lights survive near the ocean?

Yes. GRIVEN applies specialized marine-grade anti-corrosion coatings and utilizes 316L stainless steel hardware, ensuring their IP67-rated fixtures do not rust or fail when constantly bombarded by salty ocean spray.

Does GRIVEN make indoor stage lighting?

While their fixtures *can* be used indoors, GRIVEN’s entire engineering focus and price point are dictated by making fixtures indestructible for permanent outdoor architectural use. They are rarely used for indoor stage shows.
