Features
Everything a lighting studio actually needs
Purpose-built for residential and commercial lighting designers. Replace the tangle of spreadsheets, folders and email threads with one clean workspace.
Fixture library
Maintain a rich, reusable database of fixtures with brand, housing, trims, wattage, CRI, CCT, lumen output, images and notes.
Device library
Track switches, dimmers, keypads and controls with voltage, control type, images and manufacturer notes.
Projects & schedules
Every project auto-populates its Fixture Schedule, Load Schedule and Device Schedule from your libraries — no more copy-paste.
Room & load automation
Load numbers auto-increment per floor. Room names pull from a shared list. Wattage totals compute from fixture × quantity in real time.
Document management
Upload PDFs, CAD files and images per project. Flag documents as client-visible to control exactly what appears in the portal.
Client portal
Share a secure, read-only link with clients and stakeholders. Approved schedules and documents — no login required.
Teams & roles
Invite teammates with owner, admin, or member roles. Every company gets its own isolated workspace.
