Benefit from the same lighting techniques and setups used on film sets, broadcast studios, and pro content stages. ShimmerAI ships with 4 smart bulbs and a library of pre-loaded professional lighting looks. Pick a look in the app and the AI instantly reconfigures every light in your setup to match it, perfectly calibrated to your space.
No trial and error. No color wheels. No hiring a lighting technician. Just tap the look you want and our intelligence does the rest.
Our patented system does in seconds what takes a professional lighting technician hours on a movie set.
Continuously measures ambient light and adjusts output for studio-quality brightness — no blown highlights, no dark shadows on your face.
Reads your room's color profile and adapts each bulb's Kelvin output to avoid color conflicts that erode skin tones on camera.
Key, fill, hair and background lights coordinate intelligently. Each instrument knows its role and adjusts relative to the others — exactly like a pro film set.
Patented video analysis feeds real-time data into the AI engine, so the system reacts to your actual on-screen image — not just sensor readings.
Knows how far you are from each light source and compensates automatically. Move around and your look stays consistent.
Built on open smart home standards — your bulbs also work with Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa alongside the ShimmerAI app.
Designed for creators, not cinematographers. No lighting degree required.
Choose a ShimmerAI starter or pro kit. We curate compatible smart bulbs optimized for our AI and ship them directly to you.
Install ShimmerAI on iOS or Android. The app walks you through bulb placement and connects to your smart bulbs instantly.
Open your camera, hit record, and ShimmerAI runs in the background keeping your lighting perfectly balanced throughout.
Ring lights are one-dimensional. Custom lights are expensive. ShimmerAI is the only solution that brings genuine multi-point AI lighting to every creator's budget.
