LIGHT CONTROLL

Light controll is a node based lighting (SACn) controll software

Motivation

Due to the lack of modern open source lighting software or extensibility of industry standard software, we decided to create a modern node based lighting software.
The goal is to create a platform that:

• is easy to use
• is easy to extend with custom features
• comes "batteries included" with basic features

Alternatives

Here are some open source alternatives:

• QLC+
• OpenRGB
• DMXcontroll
• Glight
