About Lumos

Lumos is a light editor and manager for Blender developed by Eqkoss. It introduces pie menus and shortcut‑driven panels in the 3D View to accelerate lighting tasks. The Light Panel Editor (CTRL + quote key) lists all lights and allows direct modification. The Light Manager in the N‑panel can create lights in a selected collection at the world or cursor position, and provides actions such as show/hide all, isolate, lock, look‑through and delete for a selected light. The Light Edit Tool offers an Edit Mode for adjusting energy, forward position, color, hue, value, and includes Normal, Reflection and Shadow placement modes. A Preserve Energy option keeps light intensity consistent regardless of distance. Lumos requires Blender 4.2 LTS or newer, needs no special permissions, and is released under the GNU GPL v3.0 or later.
