HolidayCoro sells a wide variety of hardware that allow you to build most any project but what we don't sell is software - and for a good reason. We believe there are many good applications on the market today that meet a wide variety of needs and that this wide variety of products can meet nearly all the specific needs of our customers. All HolidayCoro controller hardware is compatible with all sequencing applications on the market and a huge number of other "lighting deck" applications on the market that also use standards based protocols.
Please note that HolidayCoro does NOT support these applications - they are supported by the vendor or group that has released them. HolidayCoro will though, assist you at no charge ensure that your hardware is fully operational with these applications.

General Comments
|
LOR is an legacy application going back to 2000 and it has been upgraded over the years but generally for more modern controller systems, including pixels, it has lagged behind applications like xLights. The main customer for LOR S6 would be someone migrating from an earlier version of LOR. Anyone starting out new should not start with LOR software due to the cost and reduced functionality.
Approximately 10% of our customers use LOR S5 software.

xLights started as an output only software in 2011 and since that time has evolved into a very complex and mature application for sequencing. xLights main advantage is that it can control and do just about everything - from lighting controllers, to stand alone devices to video projectors but it is that complexity that also means the application can be harder for some people to learn.
Approximately 75% of our customers use xLights software.
