Lighting Planner

Place fixtures on a floor plan and get the full picture: lighting plot, total watts, required kVA, circuit loads and imbalance — from scout to wrap, in one app.

Lighting planning for film sets, made simple.

Lighting Planner is a lighting-plot and power-calculation app for lighting crews on film, commercial, TV and music-video sets.

Load a floor plan or scout photo, place your fixtures, assign power — and the plot, power math and equipment list stay in one place.

◆ Draw the plot right on set

• Load a floor plan or location photo as an underlay
• Place fixtures, cameras and subjects freely
• Add room outlines, cyc walls and text notes
• Check sun direction from the shoot date, time and plot orientation

One plot carries you from scout to rigging to shoot day.

◆ Power calculation, made visible

Assign fixtures to circuits and the numbers update as you work.

• Total watts, calculated automatically
• Per-circuit load bars
• Warnings when a breaker limit is exceeded
• Single-phase 2-wire / single-phase 3-wire / three-phase
• L1/L2 imbalance check
• Required kVA
• Generator size suggestion with safety margin

Note: Lighting Planner is built around Japanese production power practice (100V / 200V). It is ideal for productions shooting in Japan and for crews working with Japanese equipment. Support for other regional voltages is under consideration.

◆ 227 fixtures built in

ARRI / Aputure / amaran / Astera / Kino Flo / K5600 / Nanlite and more.

• Wattages registered from manufacturer specs
• Data source visible for every model
• Record your own measured amps from set
• Add your own fixtures
• CSV import / export

◆ Share as PDF

Export the lighting plot, equipment list and power sheet as PDFs — for your crew, production, camera department or the rental house.

◆ iPhone and iPad

Sign in to open the same plans on all your devices. Works offline on location; syncs when you're back online.

◆ Safety notice

All wattage, current, kVA and generator figures shown by this app are planning aids. For actual connections, wiring and electrical work, always follow the judgment of licensed electricians and qualified professionals based on the conditions on site.
