Read full description

This is a mobile application that controls photography lights through Bluetooth networking. The characteristic of this application is that various lights can be grouped together and combined in an orderly manner to generate various lighting effects. Users can bookmark their favorite lighting combinations and share them with friends. These functions make the lighting layout in the live broadcast room very convenient. Lighting engineers no longer need to set lighting parameters separately for each live broadcast room. Live rooms of the same type only need to have the same camera lights arranged, and then use this application to quickly adjust the lighting parameters.
