Pixel Mapping Lights

Navigation


Pixel mapping lights are LED luminaires or modules that allow individual control of each pixel (or LED node) to create detailed and dynamic visual effects, often synchronized to video or music content. Pixel mapping is a lighting control technique that involves assigning and managing individual pixels—typically LEDs or clusters of LEDs—based on visual content such as video files, animations, or color patterns. This method allows lighting to reflect complex, real-time media by treating each pixel like a point on a digital screen. Pixel mapping lights are specialized fixtures built to handle this level of control and are usually compatible with lighting protocols like DMX, Art-Net, and sACN, as well as proprietary systems such as Martin’s P3. These lighting systems feature individually addressable LEDs, meaning each light point can emit different colors and intensities independent of the others. This enables designers to create dynamic visual effects, including gradients, moving patterns, video playback, and immersive animations. Pixel mapping fixtures are designed to integrate seamlessly with video servers and lighting consoles, allowing for both live manipulation and pre-programmed sequences. Their compatibility with multiple protocols makes them highly adaptable in complex lighting setups. Pixel mapping technology is widely used across a variety of applications. It powers massive media façades on building exteriors, enhances stage designs and concert tours, brings interactivity to theme parks, and adds visual impact to television studios and film sets. In architectural lighting, pixel mapping transforms structures into storytelling canvases, blending light and motion with physical form. Common types of pixel mapping fixtures include linear LED strips like the Martin Exterior Linear Pro, node-based fixtures such as the Martin Exterior Dot Pro and Dot-HP Pro, and full matrix panels like LED walls or mesh systems. Each of these is optimized for different scale and resolution needs, giving lighting designers the tools to realize vivid, large-scale creative visions.
