A Console Built to Conquer
The Blizzard Lighting CueSlayer is a professional lighting console tailored for programmers who want serious control without sacrificing speed or personality at the desk. Built around a large 15.6-inch touchscreen, CueSlayer delivers hands-on access to 15 playback faders and keys across 80 programmable pages, providing lighting designers with extensive cue capacity for complex shows and adaptable rigs. Real-time control supports up to eight universes via Art-Net or four universes through DMX output, making the CueSlayer ideal for concerts, installations, touring productions, and energetic club settings. Backlit faders, encoders, and color-customizable buttons keep every command visible in dark booths, while built-in Wi-Fi, external display support, and versatile USB connections allow you to expand your control setup however the production demands. Its rugged build and tour-ready case round out a console designed for lighting professionals who want to command the entire lighting universe.

Built for big shows and fast programming
CueSlayer is designed to keep up with demanding productions where quick cue access and large playback capacity are crucial. With 15 playback faders and keys across 80 pages, the console provides detailed control over cue stacks, effects, and scene changes, while supporting up to 200 fixed playbacks running simultaneously. Multiple screen setups on the 15.6-inch touchscreen make it easier to handle programming tasks in real time. The built-in color picker, effects generator, and extensive RGB and CMY mixing palettes give designers powerful tools for creating dynamic looks. Shape generators and customizable effect presets add even more creative options, allowing programmers to craft movement, color sweeps, and rhythmic lighting effects directly from the console without needing external software.
Flexible connectivity for modern lighting rigs
Modern productions require flexible integration, and CueSlayer is designed to connect with almost any lighting control workflow. Four DMX outputs provide direct fixture control, while Art-Net networking opens up eight universes for larger setups and distributed rigs. HDMI output connects to an external monitor for expanded programming views, and USB ports support additional peripherals like keyboards, mice, and storage drives for show backups. Built-in Wi-Fi enables remote control via compatible tablets or mobile apps, making it easy to adjust looks from anywhere in the venue. When Sweetwater lighting specialists help customers build rigs for touring acts or club installations, consoles like CueSlayer stand out because they can handle large cue stacks while still providing programmers with immediate access to faders, effects, and playback control during rehearsals and live shows.
Blizzard Lighting: illuminating the industry since 2010
Operating under the motto “Brighter Ideas,” Blizzard Lighting has grown from a one-man operation founded by Will Komassa in 2010 to a recognized leader in the professional lighting industry. Renowned for its innovative designs, such as the TOURnado and the Verismo series, Blizzard manufactures a vast range of high-end LED fixtures, including moving-head lights, wash lights, PAR cans, ellipsoidal lights, and LED video walls. Currently housed in a state-of-the-art, 40,000-square-foot facility in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Blizzard Lighting has come a long way since its early days in Will’s basement, demonstrating a trajectory that parallels Sweetwater’s own journey from Chuck Surack’s humble VW bus to our current 150,000-square-foot headquarters.
