Why It’s Useful for Different Use-Cases

Clubs / Pubs

• With 3 universes (1536 channels) you can control quite a full lighting rig: moving heads, LED bars, effects, and more — good for a mid-sized club or pub venue.

• Stand-alone mode means you can program lighting sequences and run them automatically when the room is un-manned (for e.g., house effects between acts).

• Ethernet connection enables remote trigger / network control, letting you integrate with DJ setups or club automation systems.

Bands / Touring Acts

• Durable metal build means it holds up to the movement/infrastructure of touring.

• Flexible live & stand-alone modes mean you can either run it from the computer on stage or load a show and let it run itself in stand alone mode

• The channel count gives you growth headroom — useful if your rig expands.

• Easy Midi Mapping to work with your backing tracks or for your Lighting operator to run on cheap midi controllers.

Lighting Designers / Production Houses

• Expandability means this isn’t just a “small system” — you can scale up by unlocking the 4th universe/2048 channels later.

• Network connectivity (USB + Ethernet) and the fact it uses the full version of Daslight 4/5 means you’re not capped by “Express” version limitations.

• Stand-alone triggering via SD card, clock/calendar, multi-zone memory make it viable for installations or semi-permanent setups. (See full features below) 

Architectural / Installations

• Ideal for fixed installations: the stand-alone mode means you program the show, load to the SD card, and the controller runs without needing a PC permanently.

• Network trigger options (UDP packets, remote control apps) allow integration into building systems. 

• Compact dimensions (160 × 90 × 45 mm) and light weight (~268 g) mean discreet mounting is realistic.

 Things to know

• The 4th universe (to reach 2048 channels) requires an additional license/upgrade — so while most people will not need more than 3U, full expansion incurs a small cost. 

• While stand-alone mode is powerful, some features (e.g., Art-Net output or network triggers) may only fully function or be unlocked via optional upgrades.

• With high channel count, proper fixture patching and cable management becomes critical — ensure your rig is designed to take advantage of the extra channels.

• Power supply: The datasheet indicates input 5-5.5 V DC, 0.6 A. Make sure you purchase a decent PSU as its not included.

Daslight 5 

Included is Daslight 5 (Express) which is an incredibly powerful, intuitive and easy to learn DMX Software which has easy Midi Mapping so you can use your own controllers as wings, trigger from backing tracks, or even use a touchscreen or ipad as a remote controller.
