Lighting can make or break a photo booth experience—and with Curator Live, you have full control.
Our app supports popular third-party Bluetooth LED controllers, giving you flexibility to create dynamic lighting effects that match your event experience.
Each of these controllers offers its own unique features, but all are compatible with Curator Live and can be used to control your LED light strips seamlessly. Whether you're running a photo booth at a wedding, trade show, or party, these devices can bring your setup to life with over 200 dynamic lighting effects.
Connecting to a Bluetooth Controller
Setting up your lighting is simple and fast:
Open the Curator Live app on your iPad.
Navigate to the Bluetooth Settings within the app.
On this page tap on the “Other A” option to search for third-party devices.
Choose your Bluetooth controller model (SP105, SP107, or SP110).
Tap Scan to locate your controller, then connect.
If you encounter issues, ensure that Curator Live has Bluetooth permissions enabled by going to iPad Settings → Curator Live and verifying all requested permissions.
Once connected, you can assign lighting behavior to various screens within the app.
Customizing Light Effects
Curator Live allows you to fine-tune your lighting for different stages of the guest experience. For example:
Attract Screen: Set your LED lights to a vibrant rainbow pattern to draw attention and invite guests to interact.
Countdown Screen: Use a flashing effect to build excitement.
Capture Screen: Switch to a solid color for clean photo lighting.
Each screen can trigger a unique lighting pattern—giving you full control over the visual storytelling of your event.
