Happy New Year from Light DJ!

Hey all, Kevin from Light DJ here. I hope everyone has a fun & safe New Years Eve and wish you all the best for 2020!

This year was another blockbuster year for the app with many significant updates that will help set the course for the future of the app. Major updates included:

  • SceneMaker refresh, including custom playlist support and other advanced options

  • iPad UI & performance improvements

  • Nanoleaf support for square Canvas tiles

  • Custom configurable color palettes

  • iCloud sharing for playlists, sheets, & custom effects

  • And of course, 2 bonus effects each month!

2019 also introduced the Light DJ Network beta which will play a significant role in the future of the app. The currently this allows users to share subscriptions between iOS & Android.

Other plans for 2020 include:

  • MacOS app using iPad UI

  • Light DJ Studio updates including recording editor & Android version w/ Spotify

  • Community sharing of custom effects, playlists, & sheets via Light DJ Network.

  • A new controller for making strobes (🤞)

  • LIFX Tiles/Beam/Z support? (Apologies to the folks waiting for this one. I had to keep pushing this out for other priorities. The Tiles recently went deep discount and are currently sold out everywhere so it may be nearing a product refresh. I’m waiting and see what happens, but intend to retrofit these with the current Nanoleaf effects.)

  • And of course, 2 bonus effects each month!

Thank you to all of my users. I’m grateful for your support over the years. The app turns 5 years old next month and I couldn’t have done it without you. I still can’t believe I’m able to continue to grow it with new effects and other fun things for you to show off your lights with. As always, if you have suggestions or feedback email me at kevin@nrthrnlights.com and I will reply.

I wish you all a Happy New Year. Best of luck in 2020!

DJ Lights without a Lighting Rig

Let's face it - DJ lighting is an expensive and time-consuming hobby. You can easily spend thousands of dollars on lights that can only do one or two things and will sit in the closet 90% of the time. Setting up a lighting rig for your next party can take over an hour, and that's after you've had to haul all of the heavy equipment to your friend's house across town. DXM lighting rigs use a lot of power and generate a lot of heat too - as if your crowded party isn't hot enough. And of course someone has to watch over the lighting controller during the party - hopefully no one spills their drink on it.

Light DJ eliminates the hassle that comes with setting up a DJ lighting rig and let's you focus on more important matters, like hosting an epic party! By using advanced smart lighting technology, you can use the same smart bulbs that are now becoming commonplace around the home. You don't need for a special lighting controller - you control all of Light DJ's effects right from your iPhone or iPad. You don't need a lighting rig either, the bulbs screw in just like a traditional light bulb.

Customize your smart bulbs with over 16 million colors.

Light DJ is incredibly easy to learn, too. You can hand your iOS device to one of your party guests and let them go to town. It's so simple that even my cat can use it.

Plus, rather than let a lighting rig collect dust in the closet, you can use your smart bulbs for thousands of other uses. From scheduling wake-up timers to alerting you when you receive a text message, smart lighting will change the way you live.

Light DJ is available for download now for FREE on the App Store. Give it a try and make your next party one to remember.

Cheers,

Kevin
