The New Way to Create Amazing Lighting

Light by RocketLife is creative software and hardware that lets you add custom lighting to almost anything. Create a mood, enhance an occasion, or just have fun.

Light lets anyone tell a story with rich color transitions, sparkles, and natural motion effects. Set up fantastic home, business, and holiday lighting. Make retail displays and animated signs. Enhance your crafts. Create a work of art. Then control it all from your phone.

We worked hard to make it easy. Simply connect the included LED strip to LightBox and choose a lighting effect. Because we’re makers too, we included tons of advanced options for designers, artists, and people who want to get even more creative. Check out the Light Community page for more ideas.

A Brief History of Light

Why did we do this? We love lighting! And we know what it’s like to have an idea for a particular look and not have the time or tools to create it.

When we previewed Light at the 2018 Bay Area Maker Faire, we were thrilled by the project ideas people shared for their homes, art, and businesses. That inspired us to add many new features to both the hardware and software. We can’t wait to see what you’ll do with Light!

This slideshow shows an example sign we made for Maker Faire. It contains more than 100 LEDs, animated in five groups with Light Effects Designer and driven by a prototype of LightBox. See the video in the Light Community »
