Blender Light Mixer

MK Light Mixer v6.0 — Real-Time Light Control for Blender Cycles

Mix, Tint & Solo Every Light in Your Scene — From One Panel. The Old WaySelect light Change energy Render Not right Select another light Change again Render again Tweak HDRI Render again Try different colour Render again.

Hours of back and forth. Just to get the mood right.

The MK Light Mixer WayScan Build Render Adjust all lights in real-time from one panel. Done.

Every light. Every emission object. Every HDRI. All in one place.

Key Features Full Light Control PanelEvery light source gets its own Intensity slider and Colour picker — no need to hunt through the outliner. Adjust, compare, and fine-tune your lighting in seconds.

Smart Light DetectionAutomatically detects all light sources in your scene

• Scene Lights — Point, Area, Spot, Sun
• HDRI / World Background — with one-click HDRI swap
• Emission Materials — mesh objects that emit light
• Instanced Lights — grouped by source, not duplicated

Even handles linked & collection-instanced objects.

Per-Light Colour TintingAdd a colour tint to any light — warm up your key light, cool down the fill, tint the HDRI. All without touching the original light settings. Fully non-destructive.

Solo & Mute System

• Enable/Disable — turn any light on or off instantly
• Solo — isolate a single light to see its contribution alone
• Colour swatch visible in the list — see your tints at a glance

Preset System — Save & Load Lighting SetupsCreate different moods and switch between them in one click

• Night Lighting — dim, warm, moody
• Day Lighting — bright, cool, natural
• Dramatic — high contrast, coloured

Save as many presets as you want. Load them instantly. Perfect for client revisions.

HDRI SwapChange your environment HDRI directly from the addon panel. No need to dig into World shader nodes. Just click Change HDRI and browse.

Smart DenoiseBuilt-in Compositor Denoise that actually works with Light Groups — the standard Cycles denoiser conflicts with Light Groups, but MK Light Mixer handles it automatically. Toggle on/off with one click.

One-Click Actions

• Reset — restore all lights to default
• All Off — turn everything off
• 1⃣ All = 1 — set all intensities to 1.0
• Render button — apply settings and render directly from the panel

Instance-Aware GroupingGot 50 copies of the same lamp? MK Light Mixer groups them as one — because they share the same light data. Same for emission objects that share the same material. No clutter. No duplicates.

Node-Based & Non-DestructiveUnder the hood, MK Light Mixer builds real compositor nodes — Value, Multiply, Colour, Add — all connected properly. You can open the compositor and see exactly what's happening. Nothing hidden. Nothing hacky.
