Automatic on/off management
Two 230V outputs switch softboxes or continuous lights on only while a session runs. That protects the lamps and reduces heat inside the booth.
Switch photo booth lighting automatically instead of leaving it on all night
Continuous light burning all evening, hot electronics and improvised motion detectors: LightControl V2 solves this by switching softbox lights, trigger lights and further accessories directly from RAWCaptureBooth – in sync with the session workflow.
Light exactly when it is needed
The control unit is part of the software workflow: from the start screen through the countdown to the capture itself.
Signal LEDs as trigger light
Three 5V outputs drive signal LEDs that show guests the right moment – much clearer than a countdown on screen alone.
Timing through the hot shoe
The hot shoe input can optionally be connected to the camera so the signal light matches the exact moment of capture.
Temperature monitoring with V2 Temp
The Temp variant monitors the temperature inside the booth and can trigger alarm notifications and an automatic shutdown when critical values are reached.
The three variants at a glance
V2 for the full feature set, V2 Temp with an additional temperature sensor, V2 Mini for compact builds with a single load.

Why switched lighting pays off in rental operation
- Less heat inside the housing and therefore more stable hardware during long event nights.
- Longer lamp lifetime because they only run during sessions.
- Clearer guest guidance through a signal light instead of guests asking when the photo is taken.
- No improvised setups with motion detectors or manually switched power strips.
Frequently asked questions
No. LightControl is an optional hardware extension. The software runs completely without the control unit.
Any load within the power limits: the 230V outputs deliver a maximum of 100 watts each, the 5V outputs a maximum of 1 watt each for signal LEDs.
For precise timing: connecting the camera hot shoe to the input allows the signal or trigger light to match the exact moment of capture.
With LightControl V2 Temp a critical temperature value can trigger an alarm notification and shut the photo booth down automatically.
