Lighting Tools & Calculators

DMX Channel Mapper

Working out an unknown fixture channel-by-channel and scribbling it into a spreadsheet works, but it's easy to lose track of which value did what. Enter how many channels you think the fixture has, generate a row for each one, and fill them in as you test — dropdown...

Cue Sheet Generator

Planning cues against a click track or a song is a lot easier when you can hear it while you build the sheet. Upload the audio, scrub through it (or just hit play), and hit "Create Cue" the moment something needs to happen — it'll drop a timestamped, editable row at...

Lighting Mood Generator

Sometimes you know the mood you're chasing but not which colors get you there. Pick a mood below and you'll get two color combinations — three colors each — matched to that feeling. Hit Generate for a different pairing any time; there are 20 combinations tucked away...

Stage Power Calculator

Before you patch in a rig, it's worth knowing whether your circuits can actually handle it. Add every fixture type you're running below — name, wattage per unit, and quantity — and this adds it all up into total power draw and the amperage you'll actually pull, based...

Dipswitch Calculator

Setting a DMX address by dipswitch means adding up binary values until you land on the number you need — easy to get wrong at 2am before a show. Flip the switches below to see the address update live, or type an address directly and watch the switches set themselves....

Complementary Color Calculator

Picking a complementary color pair by eye is a coin toss half the time — this pulls the exact opposite hue on the color wheel so you get a pairing that's guaranteed to contrast well, whether you're mixing gel colors or setting up a two-color wash. Drag the ring to...

Beam Diameter Calculator

Knowing your beam diameter before you climb the ladder saves you from re-focusing fixtures halfway through a tech rehearsal. Punch in your fixture's beam angle and how far it'll be from the stage or floor, and you'll get an exact spread — plus a visual so you can see...

BMP Calculator

Getting your chases, strobes, and colour changes to actually land on the beat is one of those things that looks effortless when it's right — and completely wrong when it's off, even by a fraction of a second. Instead of guessing or counting in your head, tap along...
