What’s New?

SmartShow UK (and subsequently SmartShow UK Ltd) have been providing lighting solutions since 2016. We endeavour to create products that fit the needs of the modern-day lighting tech, without the associated cost of high-end products. All of our products are designed and assembled in the UK at our Kent headquarters to ensure quality and consistency.

PLASA Gottlier Award
In 2023, SmartShow UK Ltd were nominated for PLASA’s prestigious “Gottlier Award for Lighting Innovation. We were very honoured to have been nominated, however, the award went to Howard Heaton and his company Howard Eaton Lighting Limited. Howard has made practicals and special effects from Phantom of the Opera's falling chandelier, to the flying car in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, to the giant rings of fire that opened the London 2012 Olympics.

Pro-ONE


In 2023 we launched the Pro-ONE, a fully- featured professional pixel controller designed for advanced network control of lighting displays. It has eight fully configurable pixel outputs, and a versatile WebUI to set it up just the way you need it. The Pro-ONE also has an integrated Network Switch to allow daisy-chaining of other products in the network.

In 2024, we released our V2.0 ‘Hybrid’ Firmware which allows the Pro-ONE to be configured for any combination of Pixel and DMX outputs, plus many more useful features.

RGB and RGBW Pixel Panels


In 2025 we launched our RGB and RGBW Pixel Panels. These tough interlocking panels offer unprecedented customisation of larger pixel matrices, which can be connected in just about any way you like. Each panel fits perfectly into a DMX universe-worth of data (507 channels), and the RGBW version does the same if your pixel controller supports White channel interpolation, which our Pro- ONE does.

Pixel pitch across the panels and adjacent joins is 10mm in both directions, (to mimic P10 Panels). Pixel data snakes across the panel from bottom-left to top-right. The RGB panels use WS2812b pixels and the RGBW Panels use SKC6812RGBW-NW.

NetDMX


Also in 2025, we saw the return of the NetDMX (this was originally introduced by SmartShow UK in 2017), which has now been reimagined and can now be powered over the Ethernet. The NetDMX-PoE has three modes of operation, standard DMX output, or two pixel data output modes.

One of the pixel data modes will also allow 5V PoE power to appear at a spare XLR output pin to drive a small number of local pixels without the need for additional power supply.
