Lighting inside Blender can be slow and fiddly. Lots of clicks, lots of panels, not enough flow.
Light Wrangler makes lighting feel natural: point, place, adjust — right in the viewport.
hunt through properties, guess settings, break flow.
click in 3D view, see results instantly, keep creating.
Add, move, and aim lights directly in the viewport.
Textured beams and real-world photometrics when you need them.
Capture your look-dev into HDRIs for reuse and speed.
Soft, believable falloff that flatters products.
Small, obvious controls. No manual diving.

"FANTASTIC addon! I absolutely hated placing lights before, this add-on completely flipped that around!! It's now a breeze and super easy to get beautiful results!"

"This finally makes setting up lights fun. It is a very intuitive approach to lighting. Now I can't go back to pushing my glowing rectangles through space manually."
— Fabian Grundmann
I'm Leonid Altman. I build software that solves my own problems.
I started in logo and CG product visualization, got obsessed with lighting, and wrote the tool I wished I had. That became Light Wrangler.
I also built Stenotype — a macOS dictation app using Whisper, because I needed better voice input.
Not taking CG/logo client work.
Earlier work from the design/CG era lives here for context and history.
