To use lighting control software like QLC+, DMXControl or e:cue, you need fixture definition files that describe your lighting hardware. Since one software can usually only understand its own fixture definition format, switching between different programs can be difficult.

The Open Fixture Library (open-fixture-library.org) tries to solve this problem by collecting fixture definitions and making them downloadable in various formats. Internally, it uses a JSON format that tries to bundle as much information as possible for all the different output formats.

If you are a user and want to help, head over to the Fixture Editor and add your favorite fixture that is not yet included in our library!

If you are a developer, see CONTRIBUTING.md and our Developer Documentation.
