About

Stage Light Planner

Features
Read full description

Build a complete stage lighting setup from your phone or tablet. Shape the venue, place fixtures, set their direction, color, and intensity, then preview exactly where each light reaches before installation. Start with the stage layout and turn an empty space into a practical lighting scheme. Add spotlights from a built-in equipment library, position them precisely, and adjust beam direction for the area you want to cover. • Place fixtures directly on the scene • Set angle, color, and output for each unit • View individual coverage zones • Switch between different scene arrangements Planning the electrical side is part of the same workflow. The app calculates estimated power consumption and distributes the load across power lines, giving you a clearer picture of the setup before equipment reaches the venue. Need to prepare a version for the crew? Export the finished lighting diagram and share a clear reference with the installation team. Keep separate scene concepts available for quick comparison when a production requires different layouts. Use the visual editor to test fixture positions, refine coverage, and prepare a practical plan without relying on desktop software. Every key setting stays connected to the scene, so changes are easy to review before the final setup. Build lighting plans that are clear enough to use on-site and detailed enough for technical preparation with confidence.
