Earns its place in the superhive library for turning light placement into a slider-and-randomize workflow, with setups you can save per object and reload later.
Easy Light Addon generates a focused light rig around a selected object in Blender, so you don't place lights by hand. A single click adds Area, Point, Spot, or Sun lights, each aimed at your object.
Live Update reflects changes as you move a slider, and Smart randomize rolls Strength, Size, Spread or Angle, Spot Blend, Radius, Distance, and Color inside ranges you set. You can randomize everything at once or keep the layout and refresh just the colors. A Control Cube lets you grab one helper to move or rotate the whole pack, and Save and Load stores a setup per object to bring back later.
It works with both Eevee and Cycles, covering instant previews and final renders. Easy Light Addon requires Blender 2.91 or newer and is suited to look dev, previz, and freelancers wanting a reliable starting point for a render.
Easy Light Addon is best for look dev, previz, and freelancers wanting a reliable starting point for a render.
Easy Light Addon is completely free to download and use.
Easy Light Addon works with both Eevee and Cycles, so you can use it for instant previews and for final renders in either engine. When you build a rig around your selected object and adjust properties with Live Update, the changes appear as you move each slider in whichever engine you're rendering with. That lets you iterate on mood and direction with instant previews, then carry the same setup through to final renders in either engine without rebuilding the lights.
Easy Light Addon requires Blender 2.91 or newer, and it's listed as compatible with Blender versions 2.9 through 5.0. Before installing, check that your Blender build falls within that range so the add-on loads correctly. It's delivered as the Easy Light add-on zip file. If you're running a release older than 2.91, you'd need to update Blender first, since earlier versions fall outside the stated support range for the add-on.
Easy Light Addon is listed as free here in the catalog. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so it's worth confirming the current terms on the developer's page before you download. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license and comes as a zip file. Checking the developer's page also lets you confirm you're getting the latest build and any documentation that ships alongside it.
Easy Light Addon can add Area, Point, Spot, or Sun lights, each neatly aimed at the object you've selected. Instead of placing lights by hand, one click generates a focused rig around the object. From there you can set ranges for Strength, Size, Spread or Angle, Spot Blend, Radius, Distance, and Color, then randomize everything to explore new looks or keep the layout and refresh just the colors. The Control Cube lets you move or rotate the whole pack together.
