# Lighting Fixtures Settings

Lighting Fixtures have several adjustable settings available once selected:&#x20;

![Lighting fixtures settings panel](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2Fdepence-2%2F-MhIYqm_sYgMy8XUTVFz%2F-MhI_kaKjUwAAG_P6Py-%2F539295752.png?generation=1629195028120152\&alt=media)

## Position & Motors <a href="#lightingfixturessettings-position-and-motors" id="lightingfixturessettings-position-and-motors"></a>

### Brackets <a href="#lightingfixturessettings-brackets" id="lightingfixturessettings-brackets"></a>

![Lighting fixture brackets](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2Fdepence-2%2F-MhIYqm_sYgMy8XUTVFz%2F-MhI_kaQSuLiDJzphThv%2F539361285.png?generation=1629195028156118\&alt=media)

**Pan** and **Tilt** angle of the fixture can be set through these options *(only available on assets with a bracket, not available on moving heads)*.

It is independent of the Transformation window.

The ![](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MhIYO0xEuDDA2b69m5L%2Fuploads%2FEUezk6BZrIqfeN22sA78%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=36ebe896-c8f4-401a-85ee-661a15f21ccd) focus feature *(keyboard shortcut <mark style="color:blue;">**F**</mark>)* can be used to easily adjust the asset's focus position.

### Motor Settings <a href="#lightingfixturessettings-motorsettings" id="lightingfixturessettings-motorsettings"></a>

Moving head lighting fixture has Motor Settings to **Invert Pan** and/or **Invert Tilt**.&#x20;

![](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2Fdepence-2%2F-MhIYqm_sYgMy8XUTVFz%2F-MhI_kaP1sElv2tbgo5n%2F539328556.png?generation=1629195026601909\&alt=media)

#### Customize a Motor Angle <a href="#lightingfixturessettings-customizeamotorangle" id="lightingfixturessettings-customizeamotorangle"></a>

![](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2Fdepence-2%2F-MhIYqm_sYgMy8XUTVFz%2F-MhI_kaMYYFdZ1qmWLhe%2F539295797.png?generation=1629195027594317\&alt=media)

When accessing the motor setting (Pan/Tilt) of a moving head lighting fixture (from the 3D Hierarchy or from Advanced Settings), their angle can be customized to match your fixture configuration.

Examples:

* Pan is set to 180° range on the fixture menu (MaxAngle +90°/ MinAngle -90°)
* Pan is set to 630° range on the fixture menu (MaxAngle +315°/ MinAngle -315°)

## Performance <a href="#lightingfixturessettings-performance" id="lightingfixturessettings-performance"></a>

To improve Depence performance (complex project, low computer specifications, …) it could be interesting to hide the **Volumetric Beams** generated by the fixture.

Three different options are available:&#x20;

![Lighting fixture performance](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2Fdepence-2%2F-MhIYqm_sYgMy8XUTVFz%2F-MhI_kaJVrjuQJOEKmfN%2F539262998.png?generation=1629195028190811\&alt=media)

* **Always** - the volumetric beams are rendered in the live view and when rendering image or video
* **Render** - the volumetric beams are only rendered when rendering image or video.
* **Never** - the volumetric beams are never rendered

## Photometry <a href="#lightingfixturessettings-photometry" id="lightingfixturessettings-photometry"></a>

![Lighting fixture photometry](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2Fdepence-2%2F-MhIYqm_sYgMy8XUTVFz%2F-MhI_kaLRb5tKoEoCsk9%2F539295775.png?generation=1629195028195962\&alt=media)

If needed, you can artificially increase or decrease the lighting fixture intensity through the **Intensity Factor**.

If the lighting fixture has several photometrics available, you can change it easily from the **Photometric** drop-down menu.

### Customize the Photometry <a href="#lightingfixturessettings-customizethephotometry" id="lightingfixturessettings-customizethephotometry"></a>

When accessing the **Light** setting of the fixture (from the 3D Hierarchy or from Advanced Settings), you can **Edit** the Photometrics and adjust them as needed.

Examples:

* Fixture color temperature adjustment.
* Custom photometric profile for custom diffuser.

![Advanced Photometry](https://4198123652-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2Fdepence-2%2F-MhIYqm_sYgMy8XUTVFz%2F-MhI_kaOVJ7AuelCmN0Z%2F539328542.png?generation=1629195028034390\&alt=media)

## DMX Mode <a href="#lightingfixturessettings-dmxmode" id="lightingfixturessettings-dmxmode"></a>

Once patched, change the DMX mode of your selected lighting fixture by right-clicking in the project view and selecting the mode through **Change Mode** menu.&#x20;
