How to: control your booth's LEDs

Want to bring your booth to life with glowing, colour-changing lights? The Booth.Events iOS app can control LED lighting using Bluetooth, giving your booth a polished, professional look.

Here’s how to set it up and start syncing your LED strips with your booth experience.

Supported LED Controllers

Booth.Events supports the following Bluetooth LED controllers:

SP110E, SP630E, SP107E LED Controllers (easy to find on Amazon)
Salsa 1 booths. Note we do not support other PBSCO products such as Guac, Salsa 2 etc
Mobibooth Aura and other Mobibooth systems – available at mobibooth.co
Danny Max systems - available at dannymax.com

How the Connection Works

The app automatically looks for Bluetooth LED controllers during the first 5 minutes after launch.
If no device is found in that window, it stops searching to save power.
To retry the connection, restart the app.

How to Access LED Settings

Open the Booth.Events app.
Tap the LED button on the start screen to open the LED control panel.

In this window, you’ll see:

A list of connected LED devices
Their Bluetooth signal strength
Controls for colour, brightness, and preset settings based on app states

You can connect to multiple LED controllers - perfect for setups with lights in different booth areas.

Setting the LED Profile and States

Step 1: Select Your Profile

At the top of the screen, select the correct device profile that matches your LED controller.

Step 2: Configure App States

Booth.Events lets you set LED behaviour for each app state.

When the app enters a specific state (like countdown, recording, or idle), it will automatically trigger your chosen light settings.

Each row in the LED settings panel lets you adjust:

Command type (like a preset, solid color, or “none”)
Color brightness
White LED brightness
LED colour (using a hex code color picker)

Want to skip lighting for a specific state? Just set the command to “None.”

Managing Multiple Devices

If you have multiple booths nearby, the app might connect to the wrong controller. Here’s how to fix it:

Use the signal strength display to identify which device is which (higher % = closer).
Tap “Disconnect & Ignore” on any device you don’t want to use.
Want to reset everything? Tap “Reset to Defaults” at the top.

App States

Here are the available app states, and when they occur:

App State	When it happens
Actions Screen	When the guest is adding stickers, or entering their email address or phone number after taking photos
App start	When the app is first started, or when you exit an event
Attract screen showing	When the attract screen is showing on the screen
Countdown & photo taking	When the countdown between photos is showing, and when the photo is actually taken. We recommend a bright warm white for this state.
Countdown & slow-mo/video/boomerang recording	When the countdown is showing before the slow-mo/video/boomerang recording starts
