Source Four bodies is quick and easy with Lightwright 6. Many facilities maintain large quantities of Source Four fixtures and lenses. A busy production electrician can print as many as 60,000 labels per year! Lightwright 6’s built-in label design and printing features will cut hours from the time it takes to create and print labels, utilizing a built in Avery® label database. To organize their shows and to provide easy identification of gear, production electricians carefully label everything, including lights, cables, breakouts, power supplies, dimmer racks, and data distribution gear. Lightwright 6 has dozens of other new features for lighting users, including a built in label maker. Lightwright 6 brings us Console Link for ETC’s Eos family, which changes the way we work in the theater by allowing console data to flow back and forth between Lightwright and the lighting console, including the ability to control console channels directly from Lightwright. Lightwright 5 brought lighting users Data Exchange between Lightwright and Vectorworks, changing the way thousands of designers develop their light plots by allowing Vectorworks lighting data to be brought directly into Lightwright, and allowing design changes to flow back and forth between the two programs. Lightwright 6, for the first time, fulfills a longtime industry dream of controlling the flow of lighting data from design to console without needing to enter data multiple times by hand, while documenting up to 45,000 universes of data. John McKernon will be on hand all three days to demonstrate the new features and to speak with present and future Lightwright users.Īs the lighting world has increased in complexity due to the proliferation of moving lights and LEDs, the organizational demands on lighting designers, design assistants, and electricians has continued to grow. Lightwright 6 will be launched at USITT 2016 on March 17-19th in Salt Lake City.

The last day of Lightwright license sales through City Theatrical was December 31, 2020. Sam Molitoriss, a recent graduate of CMU, has strong roots in lighting combined with a keen focus on training, software development, and business organization, and I look forward to the expertise he brings to the company in our move of Lightwright into the future.Īs Lightwright’s horizons have expanded and our online lives became more fluid, it became clear that it was time to change the way we connect to customers, too. This new partnership will sell directly to theaters, venues, designers, and electricians in all areas of entertainment, including concert, film, television, theatre, and special events. My goal is to keep Lightwright supported and growing long after I retire. Since the first sale of ALD in 1984, Lightwright’s reach has expanded every year, but it also meant that running the business as a one-man operation has become more and more difficult for me. It is a partnership betwen John and Sam, who will share the work of supporting and developing Lightwright. On November 17, 2020, John McKernon and Sam Molitoriss announced the formation of Lightwright LLC, a new home for future Lightwright development, support, and sales.
