Fixtures

Fixtures are the lighting devices you control with Spectralite: LED pars, moving heads, and pixel strips.

In this section

What is a fixture?

A fixture in Spectralite represents a physical lighting device. Each fixture has a name, type, and manufacturer; the DMX channels it responds to; an address in a DMX universe; and a position in 3D space used for visualization.

Fixture types

Spectralite groups supported devices into four families. LED fixtures cover wash and pixel-free devices such as LED pars, bars, and panels. Intelligent fixtures include moving heads, mirror scanners, and hybrid spot/wash/beam units with motorized position and color. Pixel fixtures cover individually addressable hardware: LED strips, tape, and 2D matrices. Effect fixtures cover lasers, strobes, and hazers.

Fixture library

Spectralite includes definitions for thousands of fixtures. Open Project > Library Manager > Fixtures to search by manufacturer or model, or browse by manufacturer.
