Sunlite Sunlite is a software based way of controlling lighting fixtures. You can install the software on a laptop and plug in a sunlite USB dongle.

5 features of sunlite:1)Pages- what you would like to see and control on the screen at one time, allowing you to choose what fixture you see to control. This is useful because it allows the user to lay things out how they find easiest2)Editor- is were lighting programming is made Lighting fixtures can be controlled with channel faders and saved in steps3) Timeline is when you can use Drag and drop colour mixing, Pan/Tilt, chaser, wave and gradient effects.

Where would Sunlite be best suited for? I would use – sunlite because it will be useful for Dj gigs because it is very protble and easy to learn how to use it or venue like privet venus and funtios.

Where would sunlite struggle to meet requirements? When you are at a big venu and festival you would not use sunlite as u may have to control more then one dmx universe for a show depending on the size of they event.

Source 4

No other light offers such optical brilliance. Source Four's revolutionary technology gives you a clean white beam for unequalled imaging, crisp pattern projection, and a bright, even field. The EDLT lens tube option for 19º, 26º, 36º and 50º field angles makes the Source Four even better for ultra-crisp, high-contrast gobo projections.

Source Four the fixture that changed the lighting industry. Source Four combines the energy-saving power with a coolest beam . you can also have barn door put on to narrow and shape the beam using the doors to create shape on stage e.g. light up a specific part of the stage
