Pharos lighting control solutions are installed worldwide, running day and night in famous and popular landmarks, theme parks, state palaces, shopping malls, art installations, churches, museums, airports, stadiums, bridges, national monuments, and many more.

Below are just some of the key features that make us the control solution of choice for so many lighting professionals.

Intelligent Programming

TIMELINES | SCENES | GROUPING | LAYERING | HUMAN CENTRIC | VARIABLE PLAYBACK | MANUAL OVERRIDES

Our intelligent Pharos Engine within our Lighting Playback Controller (LPC) family of products gives you complete control of your lighting installation. Based on timelines and scenes, Pharos Engine lets you build dynamic, precise, fully customisable, human centric, pre-programmed lighting displays, all while giving you the freedom of real-time manual overrides.

Powerful Pixel Mapping

TWO DIMENSIONAL ARRAYS | PER-PIXEL MAPPING | VIDEO PLAYBACK | 2D EFFECTS | MULTI MAPPING SUPPORT

Sophisticated Triggering

REAL-TIME EVENTS | CONDITIONAL LOGIC | VARIABLES | SCRIPTING | IO MODULES

Timing is everything.
