Pillar candles
Living candlelight, run from the lighting desk.
Pillar candles with no open flame and no cables. Every candle has its own DMX address, colour and flame, and the lighting desk runs them wirelessly with the rest of the rig.
What it does
Run from the lighting desk
Each candle is patched to its own DMX address. Flame, colour and strobe follow the desk, in step across the whole fleet.
A flame that looks alive
The flame engine has eight flame curves, and every candle flickers in its own way, so a row of candles never flutters in unison.
Wireless and battery-powered
No cables to hide or tape down. The candles run on rechargeable cells and report their own battery level as they go.
The dock keeps track
A control panel in the browser shows the whole fleet live, with battery, signal and status. Press «Identify» and the right candle blinks.
On real jobs
Filmed on a phone during rigging, testing and shows, with no editing beyond cropping. Swipe or use the arrows.

Try the desk
Every candle has seven DMX channels. Move the faders, or pick a ready setting, and watch what the candle does. The flame looks and the strobe are worked out the way the candle itself does it.
The simulator needs JavaScript. The channels are listed in the DMX map further down.
What the candle tells you
The candle shows what is going on by itself. Pick a status to see what it looks like.

Flames and effects
Eight flames
- Calm
- Wander
- Lively
- Gusty
- Waves
- Torch
- Loop
- 2Cell
Picked on channel 5, each in five strengths, from a calm glow to a flame in a draught.
Strobe and sparkle
From 0.5 to 50 Hz, or random sparkle. The colour and the flame flash independently, and a regular strobe keeps in step across the whole fleet.
Your call when DMX drops
If the DMX signal drops, the candles do what you chose on channel 5: hold the last look, black out, show their own flame or glow red.
Show mode
While the show runs, the dock watches the fleet but changes nothing unless you ask it to.
