Firmware shaped around real fixtures

RavLight isn't a one-size-fits-all firmware. Apart from Elyon — which targets off-the-shelf LED controllers — each fixture is built for a specific piece of hardware: an in-house prototype, or a board designed by an independent builder who wanted proper firmware behind it. If you're making a fixture and want RavLight to drive it, that's exactly the point.

Veyron 1.0

In-house prototype · Ravision

Veyron is where RavLight started: an ultra-bright LED strobe bar with full-color pixel effects, built to prove the platform on a finished product. Smart network control, sync with other devices, and compatibility with the major lighting-management software — designed to sit on a real show, not a workbench.

Hardware: XDMX rev2.2 (WT32-ETH01) Emitters: WS2811 COB + P9813 accents Control: Art-Net / sACN / wired DMX

Orion — on LED Lifter

Collaboration · hardware by an independent builder (US)

Orion is a motorized winch fixture: RavLight firmware driving a TMC2209 stepper with sensorless StallGuard homing, a guided setup wizard and DMX position control. The board — LED Lifter — was designed independently; RavLight was built to run it, and the two are being refined together through real bench testing and field feedback. A working example of the collaboration model: you bring the hardware, RavLight becomes its firmware.

Elyon — the open one

Platform fixture · commercial boards

Elyon is the exception: instead of one product, it targets popular commercial ESP32 LED controllers. Up to ten outputs, every common chipset, per-output universe mapping, RMT or I2S parallel backend. If you already own a supported board, Elyon is the fastest way onto RavLight — flash it from the browser and configure.

Boards: QuinLED Octa, Gledopto Elite 4D/2D, Penta+/Deca Outputs: up to 10

Axon — network-to-DMX bridge

In-house · bridge node

Axon turns Art-Net or sACN into a physical DMX512 line, with an OLED status display and auxiliary LED outputs. The glue between an Ethernet rig and a classic wired chain.

Hardware: XDMX v1.4 Output: RS-485 DMX + 2 × LED

Building a fixture? Let's talk.

RavLight is open to collaboration. If you're designing a lighting product — a bar, a mover, a winch, a controller — and want mature firmware behind it (DMX/Art-Net/sACN, a web UI, OTA, effects) instead of writing it from scratch, get in touch. The core is open-source; adapting it to new hardware is what it's made for.
