Sweetlight Design Software provides the ultimate solution for lighting control. It offers the possibility of direct user control, from simple par cans to the most complex intelligent light, with a PC, the software and the interface. A PC is loaded with software to build and control the lighting show, connecting to the interface via a USB port. The interface can also run the lighting show by itself. The interface retains the data in a non-volatile memory, so that hard drive failure or loss of data will not interrupt the show. The software is designed to be very user-friendly and can easily be used by even those whose knowledge of computers is limited. We have a range of interfaces, adapted to the various lighting applications.
