    I have to admit I was some what skeptical about this lighting add-on as I have bought some different ones in the past but I must admit this is the best one yet for what I do. I make logos and have had trouble lighting them and with this add-on I am able to do it with perfection. This is a must have.

    The addon is excellent. For quick light setups, there’s no need to dig into any menus—everything is accessible through highly intuitive keyboard shortcuts. Linking lights is finally convenient, and everything can be done directly from the viewport.

    On top of that, the gobos and light textures are fantastic. Honestly, it’s hard to find any faults. This addon significantly enhances the workflow and even adds features that make the lighting look simply more realistic.

    The only thing I initially felt was missing was a shortcut to display all keyboard shortcuts (not just the main ones). Also, I couldn’t immediately find where to set IES profiles for the lights. I’ll check the documentation and probably figure it out, but having those options more accessible would take the intuitiveness to a 10/10 level.

    For the first time after purchasing an addon, I’m genuinely impressed. Good job! It’s clear that as a creator, you’re a Blender user, and everything here feels well thought out.

    Keep it up!

    PS. IMO this is much more convenient than the legendary HDR Light Studio.

      Thank you, Adam. I truly appreciate your encouraging review and helpful suggestions, which continue to inspire me to improve this add-on. Feedback like yours is what drives this add-on toward perfection. I’ll definitely think about how to make the shortcuts more easily accessible when necessary. As for IES profiles, they’re available in the Light Customization panel for Point lights. Thank you.

    I love this. I could not go without anymore, really. It is reliable and smooth. Making variants of complex lighting situations is very easy with this. The gobos and light linking and all other things that come with it like the ui elements are designed very tasteful as useful.

    Since your aming for a packed lighting solution for Blender and I believe this is one of the least talked but most powerfull feature there is: lightgroups. So adding lights to lightgroups with a shortcut as easy like adding light linking by hitting L.
    Luminar lightgroups does this kind of but is not developed anymore (I think) and does not cover the potential this feature has.
    Did you ever use light groups? Balancing and grading individual light groups in post is the most powerful way for me to get the missing touch.

    Thanks for developing. Best <3

      Thank you for the feedback! Light groups are a valuable suggestion—I agree they could add a powerful layer of control. I’ll definitely consider integrating a shortcut for them.

    Just downloaded it this morning and after a few minutes using it,it's easy to tell that this is the tool for the job of fine tuning your lighting. Very impressed by the feedback I received from Leo prior to purchase and my advice is go out and buy it.

    Love this! really handy. Could you get this working under Octane Render?(It's free!) that would be great!

    Also it's probably my Blender setup but when I hit tab I get a blank pie menu? Also is there a way to jump into Adjust modes? So straight into Orbit mode or straight into Reflect mode before the tool activates, if I place a light in reflect mode then want to go into Orbit mode it's still in reflect mode and the light needs replacement. Tell me to RTFM if I need to :)

      Thank you! Octane support is on the list for development. TAB seems to conflict with other addons—check your keymap settings. You can access modes directly by hitting the corresponding number, without needing to hit TAB first. Write me if you need more details!

    This addon is really awesome! It's very intuitive to use, and the results are impressive. I would love to be able to add my own IES files the same way we can already import gobos and HDRI files. That would be amazing!

      Thank you so much for your support! Regarding IES profiles, you can import them in the add-on settings. Feel free to reach out if you have any trouble with that.
