Blackwire Designs, a national distributor in the custom installation and Pro AV markets, will showcase its value-added solutions and expertise at the Lightapalooza 2025 trade show at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Jan. 20-23.
Blackwire’s Blacklight Design Tool will be the focus of the show in the booth. Attendees can learn how to design, configure, price, and install custom linear lighting systems with the aid of this integrator-friendly, comprehensive design software.
“Blackwire’s Blacklight Design Tool for linear lighting control solutions is helping installers improve efficiency, reduce errors, and lower costs on their projects for more than a year,” says Cody Crossland, VP of sales and customer service at Blackwire Designs. “At Lightapalooza 2025, we’ll demonstrate the platform in person, previewing upcoming features.
Developed by integrators for integrators, the Blacklight Design Tool allows users to import floor plans or photos to sketch out each fixture and arrange, configure, price, and generate a purchase order along with error-free install reports for custom lighting system designs.
The company points out that with built-in connectors for Blackwire’s own DMX Bridge, the Wiz Pro bridge, or Shelly, the Blacklight Design Tool adapts to various project needs, whether integrating hardwired DMX in new builds or retrofitting spaces with Wiz Pro or Shelly’s wireless solutions. This exclusive tool, available at no additional cost to Blackwire dealers, not only simplifies electrical calculations and handles error correction to reduce costly mistakes but also ensures compatibility with diverse technologies. Attendees of the training sessions will gain valuable insights into how Blacklight Design Tool transforms linear LED lighting design — saving time, improving efficiency, reducing errors, and lowering costs on projects.
