John McKernon's eagerly awaited new version of Lightwright, the award winning, industry leading paperwork software, is here and starts shipping September 1st, and you may be eligble for a free upgrade. Lightwright is the standard of professional lighting designers and is used on nearly every Broadway show and tour. Lightwright just keeps getting better and better!

Lightwright 5 represents thousands of hours of development work. We asked John to tell us how and why he developed Lightwright 5 and what features he thinks lighting designers will particularly like.

We added lots of new training videos this month, including eight for SHoW DMX so you can learn about the Transmitter, Receiver, Dimmer, Antennas, RDM, and even how to install Anderson Connectors properly. We also added two for Follow Spot Yokes and one for our PDS- 750 TR and PDS-375 TR power/data supplies for Color Kinetics LED fixtures.

We have some great new products to show at PLASA this year, including the MasterBlast, a battery operated LED lighting fixture with built-in SHoW DMX wireless DMX. We also have a Better Boom Arm and Tabbed Template Holders in all the sizes that U.K. lighting users like best.
