Our verdict on Blackout Lighting Console
Blackout Lighting Console is an iPad-based application for controlling professional lighting fixtures. It is intended for lighting professionals, productions, studios, and other users operating connected lighting equipment. The app provides DMX output over Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, and Bluetooth, with Art-Net and sACN support for compatible gateways and nodes. Its feature set is built around fixture operation rather than focus management, so it does not suit buyers looking for distraction-blocking software.
The published pricing includes a Premium Plan at $1,150 USD as a one-time purchase. An Additional universe costs $125 USD one-time. The plan structure is therefore centered on a paid professional console with expansion pricing for added universes. Buyers should assess the number of universes their lighting setup requires before choosing the product. The pricing is relevant to production and studio workflows, but it is not structured around the needs of a distraction-blocking category.
Blackout Lighting Console covers a narrow lighting-control workflow with direct fixture touch controls, RGB, HSB, xy, and CMYK color controls, faders, sequences, macros, a command keypad, and real-time animated lighting effects. Fixture patching and a cloud fixture database support the configuration side of that workflow, while Art-Net, sACN, and Bluetooth define its ecosystem fit. Choose it for iOS-based professional lighting control; choose a different type of product for blocking distracting websites, apps, or notifications.
