Lumenicer · Video Light Panel

Lumenicer lets you use an iPhone, iPad or MacBook as a controllable light panel.

Connect it to a TV or projector via AirPlay or HDMI and you get a much larger surface to light a scene with. Your iPhone and Apple Watch work as the remote, so you can adjust everything without walking back to the screen.

I built it because I kept running into the same situation as a cinematographer: small productions, travel shoots, no budget for a proper light kit — but always a few screens within reach.

It's free to use in Light Mode, and you can try the Pro features for 7 days before deciding anything.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Light Mode (free, no time limit, no ads)

· Set color temperature from warm candlelight to cool daylight (2800K–7500K)

· Fine-tune green/magenta tint

Color Mode (Pro)

· Full color wheel to match a scene or set a mood — as saturated as your display can physically show

· Save up to 10 colors so they stay consistent across shooting days

· See / type in HSB, RGB, CMY and HEX values for each color

Effects (Pro)

· Live lighting effects you can send to your big screens: fireplace glow, police lights, party light, TV flicker, strobe, a slow pulse, a lava lamp and a two-color fade

· I add new ones regularly

EDR Boost (Pro)

· Metal-powered ultra-bright mode. Pushes supported Apple displays beyond standard limits (up to 8x brighter)

(Note: Peak brightness and duration depend on your specific device hardware, temperature, and battery level)

A few details that matter on set: a locked fullscreen mode so nothing interrupts the light mid-take, no accidental screen dimming, effects that hold their direction when the phone rotates, haptic feedback and a clean, distraction-free layout. And you can put Lumenicer in Control Center, on the Lock Screen or on the Action button — one tap and the light is on, or straight into Boost when you need maximum output right now.

PRO

Light Mode stays free forever. Pro unlocks Color Mode, all effects and EDR Boost. Start with a 7-day free trial — monthly, annual or a one-time lifetime option.
